• You play a crucial role in the full life cycle of the implementation.
• You map out the needs of the customer. You do this mainly from a functional point of view where you capture the business processes and graft them onto standard processes.
• You contribute to the development of standard processes and have a clear approach to lead workshops and also apply it in practice.
• You design a solution with standard Microsoft O365 features or you recommend customization if needed.
• You draw up the architecture of the proposed solution and monitor its implementation.

• You provide clear documentation of the delivered solution to the customer as well as to internal colleagues so that support for our customers can proceed flawlessly.

• You have proven experience in MS O365 implementations, migrations, integrations with external systems and development (custom).
• You work self-managing, which means that you can foresee your own planning within a certain horizon and pro-actively plan things on this basis (e.g. plan consultations with end users in time so that the project does not grind to a halt).
• You proactively give feedback to the project manager, service manager, team leader, ... about (deviations from) planning & budget.
• You have a very strong hands-on mentality and analytical thinking skills.
• You are result-driven with an eye for risks and quality.
