The role
It's more than a job
In this IT role, you will manage, develop, and support the technology infrastructure that powers Kuehne+Nagel's global systems and operations. This contribution is vital to making both special and ordinary moments in the lives of people a reality. In fact, your work enables our teams to deliver fresh fruit, time-sensitive healthcare products and much more to people all around the world. Working in IT at Kuehne+Nagel contributes to more than we imagine.
As a Senior M365 System Administrator (m/f/d), you will own the administration, security, and governance of Microsoft 365 collaboration services - SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft 365 Copilot - across the enterprise. You will partner with Identity, Security, Compliance, and Infrastructure teams to implement access controls, data protection, and platform standards; lead automation and migration initiatives; and act as the senior technical escalation point and mentor for Level 1/2 support.
How you create impact
- Administer and govern Microsoft 365 collaboration tools, including SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft 365 Copilot, covering adoption and usage oversight.
- Design and implement platform security and governance controls: permissions and sharing policies, conditional access alignment, sensitivity labels, DLP, and retention policies, in partnership with Security and Compliance teams.
- Assess the collaboration impact of Microsoft Entra configurations, including Microsoft 365 Groups, B2B guest access, application permissions, Conditional Access, and authentication dependencies.
- Monitor platform health, performance, compliance posture, and governance risks, including permission drift, unmanaged sharing, inactive and ownerless workspaces; coordinate remediation activities with workspace owners and relevant control functions.
- Evaluate requirements and recommend configurations, guiding stakeholders on integrating third-party and custom solutions into the M365 ecosystem.
- Perform advanced troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for complex, cross-team incidents, collaborating with Infrastructure, Cloud, Security, and Application teams.
- Act as a technical mentor and escalation point for Level 1/2 teams, maintaining technical documentation, operational runbooks, configuration standards, architecture diagrams, knowledge base content, and providing coaching and knowledge transfer to strengthen team capability.
- Review Microsoft Message Center and roadmap changes, assess technical and operational impact, coordinate testing, and support stakeholder communications. Manage escalation to Microsoft and third-party suppliers when platform incidents or defects require vendor involvement.
What we would like you to bring
- Deep, hands-on experience administering Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive for Business: architecture, governance, and day-to-day operational support.
- In-depth understanding of the content collaboration and productivity landscape within M365, with a platform-ownership mindset and strong attention to detail.
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Entra ID as it relates to collaboration services, including groups, guest identities, enterprise applications, app registrations, RBAC, application permissions, authentication, and Conditional Access dependencies.
- Expert-level PowerShell scripting for automation, reporting, and enterprise-scale migration tasks, using tools such as PnP.PowerShell and the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK, with working knowledge of CI/CD concepts and tooling such as Git and DevOps as applied to platform automation.
- Fluent in spoken and written English. Clear, confident communication across technical and non-technical audiences.
- Proven ability to mentor engineers and act as a technical escalation point across teams.
- Comfortable operating with autonomy and making architecture/configuration decisions within governance guardrails.
- Additional hands-on experience across the broader Microsoft 365 and Azure ecosystem, including managing Microsoft Teams Rooms, operating within a multi-geo and/or multi-tenant organization, managing data lifecycle Microsoft Purview features, Azure Automation, Azure Functions, and Logic Apps, is a plus. Relevant Microsoft certifications, such as MS-102, MS-700, SC-401, or equivalent, and an interest in continued certification are also considered an advantage.
