Microsoft 365 Administrator & Team Lead

As our new Microsoft 365 Administrator & Team Lead, you’ll play a key role in managing and securing our Microsoft 365 environment while leading the daily operations of the IT team.
You’ll balance hands-on technical work with coordination and mentorship, making sure our systems run smoothly, securely, and efficiently — and that your colleagues have what they need to succeed.

This is a role for someone who enjoys both the technical depth of M365 and the human side of leadership — guiding, planning, and improving together with a capable and committed team.

About MyDefence
When we say mission-driven, we mean it.
At MyDefence, we innovate to protect those who protect us. We design and build advanced counter-drone systems and electronic defence solutions that help armed forces and security organisations stay safe and effective in the field.

We combine deep domain expertise with agile technology development — and we care just as much about the people behind the technology as the technology itself. That’s how we create impact that truly matters.

Who’s your team
You’ll join our IT & Security team – a small but ambitious group that makes a big impact. Together, we make sure MyDefence runs smoothly and securely every single day.

Our mornings start with a quick stand-up to sync on projects, share progress, and solve challenges together. The collaboration here is close and easygoing — help and sparring are always just a tap on the shoulder (or a quick Teams ping) away.

You’ll work side by side with our Security Engineer, GRC Specialist, and IT Support colleagues – all driven by the same mission: to enable a seamless, secure, and resilient digital environment for the whole organisation.

What you’ll be doing
In this role, you’ll:

• Administer Microsoft 365 services including Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Intune, and Entra ID.
• Maintain configuration baselines, security policies, and compliance (MFA, conditional access, DLP).
• Manage device lifecycle via Intune and Autopilot, ensuring patch compliance and endpoint health.
• Coordinate daily IT activities, workload distribution, and task prioritisation across the team.
• Oversee hardware/software procurement, license management, and vendor coordination.
• Collaborate with the CISO and Security Engineer on identity, endpoint, and zero-trust initiatives.
• Maintain IT documentation, architecture diagrams, and SOPs.
• Support onboarding/offboarding and access control processes.
• Drive continuous improvement in IT operations, automation, and monitoring.
• Act as escalation point for complex IT or Microsoft 365 issues.

Who you are
You’re proactive, structured, and comfortable balancing multiple priorities — from daily operations to long-term improvement.
You’re someone who enjoys leading through trust and collaboration, and who finds satisfaction in helping others grow while keeping systems secure and stable.

We imagine that you:

• Have 3+ years of experience in Microsoft 365 administration or IT operations.
• Know your way around Intune, Entra ID, PowerShell, and Windows 11 management.
• Have implemented conditional access, MFA, DLP, and compliance policies.
• Understand ISO 27001 or similar frameworks and their practical application.
• Are familiar with modern device and identity management best practices.
• Hold certifications such as MS-102 or SC-300 — or plan to obtain them.

And personally, you:

• Communicate clearly and confidently — whether with IT peers or non-technical colleagues.
• Stay calm and reliable under pressure, always focused on stability and improvement.
• Take ownership, delegate effectively, and follow through.
• Bring curiosity, integrity, and a hands-on approach to everything you do.

What we stand for
At MyDefence, we live by a shared set of values that guide us — in how we do business and how we show up as colleagues. These values are our compass, ensuring that we move forward with courage, execution, and care.

We Dare (Courage)
We dare to challenge the status quo and push boundaries. Innovation requires bravery — and we’re not afraid to explore new paths that make a difference.

We Do (Execution)
We take responsibility and get things done. We turn ideas into action and make sure that progress follows commitment.

We Care (I Am Your Wing(wo)man)
We support each other and have each other’s backs. We listen, we help, and we lift — because trust and collaboration make us stronger.
