About The Position

Are you excited by the opportunity to shape how a global workforce collaborates, automates their work, and gets more done with modern technology? In this role you will act as the product owner for Vontier’s Microsoft 365 E5 platform — setting the technology architecture, owning the roadmap, and making the platform decisions that determine how thousands of employees work every day. You will translate business needs into platform strategy, ensuring every capability investment is deliberate, governed, and delivers measurable value.

Requirements

Deeply experienced with Microsoft 365 E5 — you understand the full platform stack including Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Entra ID P2, Defender for Office 365, Microsoft Purview, Intune, and Power Platform
A natural product owner — you think in roadmaps, prioritise ruthlessly, and are as comfortable saying what will not be built as what will; you manage platform scope with the same rigour others apply to project delivery
Experienced in using the M365 platform to improve IT service delivery — you have built self-service capabilities, automated onboarding and provisioning workflows, and reduced IT ticket volume by putting the right tools and automations directly in the hands of end users
Skilled at translating platform governance and compliance requirements into clear architectural decisions that teams can implement and maintain without specialist knowledge
Certified or demonstrably expert in Microsoft technologies — MS-500, MS-700, SC-400, AZ-900, or equivalent hands-on depth is expected
A strong communicator who can present complex technical decisions to senior business stakeholders in plain language, framed around outcomes rather than features
Experienced working in a global, federated enterprise where you have influenced without direct authority across geographically dispersed teams and business units
Comfortable operating as a senior individual contributor — you are the expert in the room, not a people manager, and you take ownership of outcomes end to end
5-7 years of relevant experience
Proficient in Powershell

bachelor’s degree in related field preferred but not required
