The role collaborates with departments, Directors, and staff to spot workflow inefficiencies, co-design AI and M365 powered solutions for enhanced efficiency and innovation, deliver empowering training/resources, and provide hands-on system administration support to the IT team.

• Consult with stakeholders to uncover opportunities for efficiency gains through Microsoft 365 tools and emerging technologies (with a primary focus on AI automation and enhancement, e.g., content generation, data analysis, summarization, email/ticket drafting), then develop and deploy tailored solutions while teaching users effective techniques and self-service approaches to empower independence ("teach them how to fish").
• Lead the rollout, configuration, optimization, and support of Microsoft 365 Copilot, including user access provisioning, integration with core apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, etc.), governance/compliance alignment, usage monitoring, and impact measurement to maximize productivity gains and serve as a model for broader technology enablement.
• Design and deliver engaging, audience-specific training programs and workshops (executive briefings for VPs/Directors, departmental sessions, one-on-one coaching), including live/virtual demos, practical use cases, best practices, security awareness, and change management guidance to accelerate adoption of Copilot and other Microsoft 365 capabilities company-wide.
• Serve as the go-to subject matter expert on Microsoft 365 Copilot and the wider Microsoft 365 ecosystem, offering adoption coaching, troubleshooting, and guidance to drive utilization of AI and other productivity technologies, minimize legacy process reliance, and foster a company-wide culture of continuous improvement through feedback loops and ROI tracking.

• Strong experience administering and supporting Microsoft Teams (including channel management, integrations, governance, and user support) is a big plus, as it directly enhances Copilot effectiveness in collaborative workflows and supports broader M365 adoption.
• Solid systems administration experience with the full Microsoft 365 ecosystem, including Entra ID, compliance tools (Purview), Exchange Online, Intune, licensing, security configurations, and other productivity services; capable of independently resolving complex tickets and supporting operational needs.
• 3–5 years in Microsoft 365 administration, cloud productivity enablement, technology adoption, or related IT roles, with a track record of balancing strategic initiatives (e.g., AI/Copilot rollout) and day-to-day support across broader tools.
