We’re looking for a highly experienced SharePoint Developer / Architect to help modernize and restructure an existing Microsoft 365 / SharePoint environment for a growing client of ours with less than 100 users. This is a hands-on contract opportunity for someone who can quickly assess a messy legacy environment, architect scalable solutions, implement governance and security controls, and help guide the organization toward a clean, secure, and manageable SharePoint structure.

This organization rapidly transitioned into Microsoft 365 several years ago, resulting in a large-scale “lift and shift” migration into SharePoint without proper information architecture, governance, naming conventions, DLP, or backend administration. Today, the environment contains more than 3TB of data spread across poorly structured SharePoint sites and Teams environments. The goal of this engagement is to stabilize the current state, establish governance and controls, redesign the SharePoint architecture, and support department-by-department modernization efforts ahead of an 8-month go-live target.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, can operate independently, and enjoys parachuting into organizations that need a senior-level “fixer” to bring order and structure to complex environments. This contract has an estimated duration of 6-8 months, can work part-time at 20-hours per week (due to internal employee availability to support), and remotely across Canada, but required to work PST business hours.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Assess and stabilize the current SharePoint Online environment
• Architect and implement a new SharePoint structure, including governance, permissions, naming conventions, and lifecycle standards
• Help establish SharePoint and Microsoft 365 best practices across departments
• Implement or support:
• Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
• Microsoft Purview controls and governance
• Entra ID–driven access and policy management
• Secure collaboration and IP protection strategies
• Work closely with a part-time Project Manager to redesign departmental SharePoint sites and collaboration structures
• Support file cleansing and archival efforts
• Convert legacy/unused SharePoint content into read-only repositories
• Provide guidance to departments migrating their own content into the new environment
• Troubleshoot sync, permissions, and OneDrive/SharePoint collaboration issues
• Help transition the organization away from legacy hybrid/GPO-dependent management approaches
• Ensure SharePoint architecture aligns with existing security tooling and governance practices, including AI governance and Copilot usage

What We’re Looking For

Strong hands-on experience with:

• SharePoint Online architecture and administration
• Microsoft 365 governance and collaboration platforms
• Entra ID / Azure AD
• Microsoft Purview and DLP
• Teams / OneDrive integrations
• SharePoint permissions and information architecture
• Experience cleaning up or restructuring large, ungoverned SharePoint environments
• Ability to balance technical implementation with strategic planning and governance
• Strong communication skills and ability to work directly with business stakeholders and department teams
• Comfortable operating independently in environments where internal IT teams are stretched thin
• Experience with AI governance, Microsoft Copilot controls, or modern M365 security practices is considered a strong asset
