About the Role

• Design and develop SharePoint Online sites, using and configuring standard and in-house developed web parts, and produce business solutions using PnP approaches, PowerShell, and modern site templates.

• Collaborate with stakeholders, business analysts, and project managers to deliver user-centred solutions.
