Role and Duties

Provide hands-on Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and Power Platform development and administration support to digitize CAPDEV work, information flows, collaboration, data collection, and recurring business processes across approved NATO Microsoft environments. They are expected to personally configure, develop, test, deploy, document, administer, troubleshoot, and improve SharePoint and Power Platform solutions in direct collaboration with operational users. This requirement combines SharePoint administration and information management with handson workflow and application development. It is not primarily for SharePoint content administration, Microsoft 365 governance advisory, enterprise architecture, programme management, or supervision of development performed by others. The objective is to replace or materially reduce fragmented, manual, spreadsheet-intensive, email-driven, or document-centric CAPDEV processes with structured, usable, maintainable digital workflows using available Microsoft enterprise capabilities.

Roles Duties and Responsibilities

Support CAPDEV organizations through hands-on administration, configuration, development, and sustainment of Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft 365, and Power Platform solutions.

Work directly with CAPDEV process owners, operational users, analysts, managers, and information stakeholders to understand existing work and information flows, identify user requirements, and determine appropriate opportunities for digitization or automation.

Administer, configure, maintain, and improve SharePoint sites, lists, libraries, content types, columns, metadata, views, permissions, navigation, and other site capabilities needed to support CAPDEV collaboration and digital workflows.

Design and implement SharePoint information structures that improve information organization, discoverability, controlled access, structured data capture, reuse, and management of authoritative information.

Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain Power Apps applications that replace or materially reduce manual forms, spreadsheet-based data collection, email coordination, or other fragmented CAPDEV business processes.

Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain Power Automate workflows supporting approvals, notifications, routing, task coordination, data synchronization, document handling, status management, and other repeatable CAPDEV processes.

Develop integrated solutions combining SharePoint, Microsoft Lists, Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse where available, and other approved Microsoft services or connectors as required by the operational need.

Configure forms, business rules, validation, workflow states, role-based access, views, and other application logic required to translate CAPDEV business processes into usable digital workflows.

Integrate Microsoft 365 and Power Platform solutions with approved data sources, services, or enterprise applications through available connectors, APIs, data gateways, structured file exchange, or other authorized mechanisms where technically supported.

Support digitization and information-management requirements across approved NATO Microsoft 365 and SharePoint environments, including secure, classified, restricted, or capability-limited environments, using the platform capabilities, connectors, administrative permissions, and licensing available within each environment.

Apply appropriate SharePoint and Power Platform development, administration, and lifecycle-management practices, including development and production separation where supported, solution packaging, versioning, configuration control, ownership, permissions management, testing, documentation, and controlled deployment.

Troubleshoot SharePoint, Power Apps, Power Automate, and related Microsoft 365 issues;identify root causes; implement corrective actions within delegated authority; and coordinate with enterprise service providers when resolution requires platform-level support.

Conduct user testing and iteratively improve applications, workflows, and SharePoint configurations based on operational use, stakeholder feedback, technical findings, and changes to information or process requirements.

Document SharePoint configurations, application logic, workflow logic, data structures, permissions, dependencies, integrations, operating procedures, and administrative requirements sufficiently to support transparency, sustainment, transition, and continued operation.

Develop user guidance, administrator documentation, and transition materials and provide practical knowledge transfer to CAPDEV personnel or designated sustainment organizations as required.

Assess the effect of digitized workflows on factors such as processing time, manual coordination effort, information completeness, data quality, workflow visibility, traceability, and usability.

Advise the COTR when a requirement is appropriate for local Microsoft 365 or Power Platform implementation and when technical complexity, security, scale, integration, or sustainment considerations warrant transition to an enterprise development or scaling organization.

Support transition of successful locally developed applications and workflows to enduring enterprise platforms, platform owners, development teams, or designated scaling organizations when require
