About The Position

ITC WORLDWIDE is seeking an experienced Azure Cloud Administrator. The Messaging & Collaboration team is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to own the engineering, administration, and governance of our global Microsoft 365 environment. This senior individual contributor serves as a technical escalation point for the Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, and Microsoft Entra ID services that thousands of Gartner associates rely on every day. The role blends hands-on platform engineering with project delivery and governance: configuring and securing services, automating administration at scale, leading migrations and compliance initiatives, and partnering with Microsoft and third-party vendors to keep the collaboration ecosystem reliable, secure, and audit-ready. The successful candidate is equally comfortable resolving a production incident, scripting a bulk change in PowerShell, and representing the team in a change advisory or security review.

• Excellent troubleshooting, documentation, and cross-functional communication skills.

• Relevant Microsoft certifications (e.g., MS-102, MS-700, MS-721, SC-300, SC-400, or equivalent).
• Experience with Microsoft Purview, eDiscovery, legal holds, and data-retention administration.
• Hands-on experience with M365 migration and backup tooling such as AvePoint and Keepit.
• Exposure to compliance frameworks including CMMC and SOX.
• Experience governing Microsoft Copilot / Copilot Studio and other AI collaboration capabilities.
• Experience supporting a global, multi-region user base across AMER, EMEA, and APAC.

Responsibilities

• Administer and optimize the Microsoft 365 tenant — Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, and Microsoft Entra ID — including service configuration, health monitoring, and lifecycle management.
• Manage Microsoft Teams calling, meeting, recording, and retention policies, including automatic call recording (ACR) and Teams Premium capability rollouts.
• Provision and govern SharePoint Online sites and OneDrive — permissions, public vs. private site classification, external/guest access, metadata, and storage cleanup.
• Administer Exchange Online mail flow, distribution and security groups, mailbox lifecycle, message footers/banners, safe-sender lists, and out-of-office configurations.
• Manage Microsoft Entra ID app registrations, secret and certificate rotation, conditional access policies, group-based licensing, and guest/inactive account reviews.
• Develop and maintain PowerShell automation for provisioning, bulk administration, and recurring reporting across the M365 stack.
• Build and troubleshoot Microsoft Graph API integrations and scope Azure application registrations for internal and partner solutions.
• Operate governance and reporting tooling (e.g., SysKit Point) for workspace provisioning, inactive-workspace cleanup, and adoption reporting, surfacing usage insights through Power BI dashboards.
• Lead and support data migrations into Microsoft 365 — including Google Workspace to SharePoint Online and tenant transition initiatives — using tools such as AvePoint.
• Administer backup and recovery for M365 workloads (e.g., Keepit), perform OneDrive and SharePoint restores, and support backup-controls assurance reviews.
• Implement information-governance and compliance controls using Microsoft Purview — data retention, legal holds, eDiscovery, and information protection.
• Support regulatory and audit programs, including CMMC readiness, SOX, and internal audit controls for collaboration platforms.
• Represent Messaging & Collaboration in the Change Advisory Board (CAB), authoring and reviewing change records and ensuring affected configuration items are documented.
• Contribute to AI governance for Microsoft Copilot and Copilot Studio, helping define safe, compliant adoption of AI capabilities across the tenant.
• Act as a senior escalation point for complex incidents and service requests in the Messaging & Collaboration queue, partnering with Microsoft FastTrack and Premier Support on critical issues.
