The Workplace Technical Service Manager

  • (M365 & Collaboration) is part of Avolta’s Global Workplace team—one of five service towers (Endpoints, AD & IAM, M365 & Collaboration, AVD, Employee Productivity)—within the broader Global IT Infrastructure organization (Platforms & Networks).
  • This role owns the global strategy, roadmap, governance, and service evolution for Avolta’s M365 and Collaboration ecosystem (Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange Online, Viva, Planner, Power Platform), ensuring these platforms deliver measurable business value and align with Workplace and Group IT objectives.
  • While M365 is the core stack today, the role must anticipate future coexistence and integrations with Google Workspace driven by M&A, preparing for a multi‑platform collaboration landscape. This is a global service ownership role (not local end‑user support), delivered in close partnership with vendors, internal towers, and business stakeholders across 70+ countries.

Service Ownership & Strategy

Own end‑to‑end M365 collaboration workloads (Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange Online, Viva, Planner, Power Platform)

Define and maintain a clear service strategy, technical blueprint, and multi‑year roadmap aligned to the Global Workplace strategy and M365 evergreen model

Prepare for and guide coexistence/integration scenarios with Google Workspace

Continuously evaluate new Microsoft capabilities (incl. AI) and collaboration tools; assess their business impact

Lead POCs, controlled feature rollouts, staged deployments, and pilots

Own the Change & Project pipeline for M365 & Collaboration; ensure enhancements and new services are tested, documented, and deployed in a controlled manner

Drive continuous improvement, simplification, and automation; advocate user‑centric design and strong adoption practices

Service Governance & Operations

Oversee global service operations (performance, incidents, problems, changes, compliance, capacity).

Ensure ITIL compliance (incident, problem, change, capacity, continual improvement)

Lead lifecycle processes (evaluation, rollout, standardization, maintenance, retirement)

Provide weekly/monthly service performance reporting and lead the service in DSR/operational forums

Vendor, Partner & Stakeholder Management

Act as primary owner of relationships with M365‑related vendors/partners; manage SLAs, value delivery, escalations, and performance

Ensure partners contribute to strategic evolution, not only technical operations

Represent the service in cross‑tower forums and with business stakeholders across 70+ countries

Act as the single point of contact for technical and vendor engagements

Financials & Value Realization

Manage the service budget and drive cost efficiency

Maximize business value realization through collaboration technologies and strong adoption

Technical Leadership

Provide expert guidance on M365 architecture, governance, security, licensing, and integrations; collaborate with Endpoints, AD/IAM, AVD, and Employee Productivity towers

Support migrations (e.g., email, SharePoint, apps) and identity‑related components

Anticipate needs around Google Workspace capabilities to support future coexistence or migration

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Experience: 10+ years in end‑user and collaboration technologies (strong Microsoft background preferred)

M365 Expertise: Proven knowledge of administration, security, governance, and licensing across core workloads

Evergreen Workplace: Experience designing and operating evergreen workplace environments

Identity & Device: Familiarity with Azure AD/Entra ID, Intune/SCCM, and common integration patterns

Google Workspace: Awareness or willingness to acquire enterprise‑level understanding for coexistence/migrations

Delivery: Experience leading POCs, testing new features, and running controlled rollouts/pilots
