Job Description

We are looking for a Technical Lead Modern Workplace who will play a key role in the technical development, stability, and further evolution of the digital workplace.

This position is part of the Digital Workplace Team, a group of experienced specialists responsible for managing, optimizing, and renewing the end-user IT environment. The team works closely with other IT teams, projects, and stakeholders to realize modern, secure, and user-friendly workplace solutions, with a strong focus on Microsoft 365, cloud technologies, and hybrid working.

As a Technical Lead, you combine in-depth technical expertise with substantive leadership: you guide solutions substantively, support colleagues, and ensure technical quality without taking on a purely architectural or hierarchical role.

As a Technical Lead Modern Workplace, you are responsible for the technical direction, quality, and consistency of the Modern Workplace solutions. You are the substantive reference point for complex technical issues and support the team in design choices, implementations, and optimizations. You work hands-on where necessary, guide less experienced profiles, and ensure that solutions remain performant, secure, and manageable. You actively contribute to reducing technical debt and improving the end-user experience within a hybrid working context.

Key Responsibilities:

•Substantively and technically directing Modern Workplace solutions within the team.

•Collaborating on the design, implementation, and optimization of M365 services (Office 365, Entra ID, collaboration solutions).

•Acting as a technical point of contact for complex incidents, changes, and improvement initiatives.

•Supporting and coaching team members on technical issues and best practices.

•Ensuring the technical coherence, stability, and security of the digital workplace.

•Contributing to technical standards, guidelines, and reference implementations.

•Integrating Modern Workplace solutions with existing IT services and systems.

•Supporting hybrid working forms (NWOW / HWOW) from a practical and technological perspective.

•Actively contributing to projects through technical input, design reviews, and implementation support.

•Drafting and maintaining technical documentation and operational guidelines.

•Proactively following technological developments within Modern Workplace and M365.

Technical Skills and Experience

•IT architecture or Technology Lead: at least 5 years of relevant experience in complex IT environments, focusing on technical steering and decision-making.

•Modern Workplace / End-User Solutions: at least 15 years of hands-on experience in designing, building, and evolving digital workplace solutions.

•Microsoft 365: at least 15 years of practical experience with M365 workloads, including Office 365, Entra ID, and collaboration services.

•Cloud and security concepts: at least 5 years of experience with cloud concepts (Azure) and cybersecurity fundamentals around identity, access management, and endpoint security.

•NWOW / HWOW (New / Hybrid Ways of Working): at least 3 years of demonstrable experience supporting hybrid or remote working forms.

•Project context: at least 3 years of experience in project-driven environments, with active contributions to technical choices, design reviews, and implementations.

Generic Skills

•Strong problem-solving ability.

•Practical and pragmatic mindset, focusing on workable and manageable solutions.

•Ability to technically guide colleagues and transfer knowledge.

•Clear communication style, both to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

•Team-oriented, collaborative, and responsible.

•Flexible and eager to learn, with attention to continuous improvement and technological evolution.
