This role therefore also acts as a 'consultant' to the business and will require excellent stakeholder management and communication skills. We expect significant expansion in this area and this role will be instrumental in contributing towards the vision and strategy of Digital Workplace Solutions within Digital Workplace. 

We are looking for individuals that have:  

• A passion for transforming business processes and delivering value through innovative technical solutions.

• Exposure to the main components of the M365 E5 licence, including Entra ID, Exchange Online, Purview and Intune and a willingness to maintain a broad working knowledge.  
• Familiarity with Microsoft Azure and the capabilities relevant to the delivery of productivity solutions. 
• Prior experience or an interest in supporting the delivery of live streaming services including the use of professional audio and video equipment. 

Whilst this role sits formally within the Digital Productivity Services team within Digital Workplace, the postholder will gain exposure across the Digital Workplace strands and may be required to work in other Digital Workplace areas when required. This is applicable to all roles within Digital Workplace.
