Job Description
This is a fixed term 12-month contract role (ending October 2026). We’re looking for a knowledgeable M365 specialist to help support the Bank’s new approach to the document and records management system.
The Bank is migrating the document management solution from a legacy toolset to M365, primarily using SharePoint for document management. The Bank will also be using Microsoft Purview extended with a custom Azure Cloud solution to meet the Bank’s records management requirements. We are currently in a pilot phase, and the successful candidates will support the organisation during and after the remainder of the deployment. This role will include working as part of an on-call support rotation covering evenings and weekends.
This is an ideal opportunity if you are passionate about empowering people to be more productive and delivering a modern workplace experience at pace. This will be truly revolutionary for the Bank, and an opportunity to quickly leave a lasting legacy on a critical UK institution.
This role is open to flexible working patterns, which include:
Job share
Flexible start and end time to each day

A 40% in-office attendance requirement can be spread across the month to accommodate diverse working patterns, such as the flexibility to purchase a weekly train ticket for certain weeks.
A day in the role
A typical day starts with a team stand-up meeting to discuss sprint tasks. You’ll advise 1st and 2nd line support on SharePoint Online and Microsoft Teams tickets. You’ll attend the weekly operations meeting to review support cases. In the afternoon you might review guidance for a new feature, handle a user support call, and document the fix for knowledge sharing. You may also investigate issues sharing documents over Teams and, if needed, raise a support case with Microsoft.
Your responsibilities may adapt depending on team needs and could include:
Engaging with external vendors for support and ensuring value from services
Providing training to end-users and SharePoint champions
Participating in continuous improvement initiatives for SharePoint environments
Ensuring visibility of solutions using reporting and monitoring tools
BAU operational support for SharePoint, Teams, and other M365 products
