Modern Workplace Application Lead (Microsoft 365 & Power Platform)

6 month's FTC

Hybrid, London (City)

A well-established financial services organisation is looking for a Modern Workplace Application Lead to join their asset management business. You'll be the go-to technology partner for the business, with a particular focus on getting the most out of Microsoft 365 and the Power Platform.

What you'll be doing

• Acting as the business's subject matter expert for Microsoft 365, including SharePoint, Teams and OneDrive, and advising on how to use these tools well
• Owning the Power Platform locally, supporting automation and helping the business build smarter ways of working
• Building strong relationships across the business and spotting where technology can make things simpler and more efficient
• Acting as an escalation point for IT issues that need more technical or business context than standard support can offer
• Managing applications through their full lifecycle, from first idea to decommission, including documentation and representing the business at IT governance forums
• Running licence reviews to make sure the business isn't paying for more or less than it needs
• Stepping into project manager and business analyst roles on agreed projects, making sure solutions meet business needs and security standards
• Working with group IT and technology teams in other locations to keep everything aligned to group standards

What you'll bring

• Hands-on experience owning or leading Microsoft 365 in a business-facing role, ideally including SharePoint Online and Teams rollouts
• Practical Power Platform experience
• A track record of working closely with business users and turning loosely defined needs into working solutions
• Experience of user adoption and getting people to actually use new tools
• Comfort running projects and gathering requirements
• Financial services or other regulated or professional services experience is a plus, though not essential

This is a chance to shape how a growing business uses technology, in a team that's still being built, so there's real scope to make your mark.
