Our Team: How we enrich everyday life
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. It’s a collaborative, distributed setup where everyone has ownership and a strong voice in how things are done. We care about getting the detail right, clean design, smart automation, and making sure what we build genuinely improves how people work. We’re currently in the middle of an exciting phase, bringing our environment up to a modern baseline and setting the foundations to unlock more of the M365 platform.
The Difference you will make
