Sharepoint Administrator

About the Role

We're partnering with an innovative organization seeking a SharePoint Administrator to help strengthen and modernize their Microsoft 365 collaboration environment. This 6-month contract role offers potential for extension and hybrid/onsite flexibility in Carlsbad, CA. It is ideal for someone who enjoys combining hands-on administration with strategic thinking around security, permissions, governance, and scalability. You'll assess an existing SharePoint environment, implement improvements, and shape best practices impacting the entire organization.

Responsibilities

• Administer and support SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and Microsoft 365 Groups.
• Evaluate the current SharePoint environment and recommend improvements related to governance, security, and scalability.
• Design and implement SharePoint site structures, permissions models, and lifecycle processes.
• Improve audit readiness through stronger security controls and governance practices.
• Manage metadata, taxonomy, information architecture, and data stewardship initiatives.
• Develop and maintain automation solutions using PowerShell and PnP PowerShell.
• Utilize ShareGate for reporting, administration, and platform optimization.
• Provide Tier 2/3 support for SharePoint and Microsoft 365 collaboration technologies.
• Create documentation, operational procedures, and governance standards.
• Partner with Infrastructure, Security, HR, Legal, and business stakeholders to deliver collaboration solutions.

Requirements

• 3+ years of SharePoint Online administration experience.
• Strong experience with SharePoint security, permissions, and governance.
• Hands-on PowerShell scripting experience.
• Experience with PnP PowerShell.
• Knowledge of Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and Microsoft 365 Groups.
• Understanding of OAuth authentication and access management.
• Experience managing metadata, taxonomy, and information architecture.
• Strong troubleshooting and documentation skills.

Nice to Have

• ShareGate experience.
• Microsoft Purview experience.
• Power Automate or Microsoft Graph API exposure.
• Experience supporting audits, compliance initiatives, or governance programs.
• Experience working within enterprise Microsoft 365 environments.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Opportunity to own meaningful governance and security initiatives rather than just day-to-day administration.
• High visibility projects impacting the organization's Microsoft 365 strategy.
• Ability to influence how SharePoint is structured and scaled moving forward.
• Mix of project work, administration, automation, and stakeholder engagement.
• Great opportunity for someone looking to grow from SharePoint administration into a more strategic governance-focused role.

Ideal Candidate

We're looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, improving existing environments, and thinking beyond today's requirements. The ideal candidate understands not only how to administer SharePoint, but also how to build a secure, scalable, and well-governed collaboration platform that can support future growth. If you're excited by SharePoint governance, security, permissions, automation, and helping organizations get more value from Microsoft 365, we'd love to speak with you.
