You’ll be joining our Microsoft 365 team, part of the wider Enterprise Technology function. We design, build and run the Microsoft 365 services used by colleagues across multiple regions, supporting thousands of users every day. We work closely with teams across security, compliance, SharePoint, Power Platform and regional on‑prem teams.
