Position Overview
We are looking for an experienced SharePoint Specialist to join our team and lead the design and development of our SharePoint environment, beginning with the build-out of a new company intranet home page. This is a full-time, remote role with an initial minimum engagement of six months, and the potential to grow into a longer-term position depending on project scope and organizational needs.
The ideal candidate brings hands-on SharePoint design and development experience, understands how to build clean, functional, and visually polished intranet sites, and can work independently to deliver high-quality results with minimal supervision. High English proficiency — both written and spoken — is required, as this role involves regular communication with internal stakeholders and project leads.
