To bring this about a SharePoint Consultant is required to provide IT Services staff with recognised professional knowledge, leadership,training, guidance and support to ensure that SharePoint is used as an effective information channel for our internal processes.
The post holder will be responsible for advocating the use of SharePoint throughout the department, influencing managers and all other staff to ensure high levels of awareness and increase the uptake of SharePoint as one of the principal information channels within IT Services. This will involve sharing best practice, investigating and implementing innovative solutions, designing and delivering training, advice and recommendations by leading presentations, group meetings and one-to-one consultations. The post holder will also liaise with other members of the Communications and Web Office (CWO) and members of the SharePoint Nexus Users Group (SNUG) Steering Committee to provide a channel for the communication of SharePoint best practice throughout IT Services and the wider University.
This role should be proactive in identifying and analysing internal processes that could be implemented in SharePoint and then working with the users of these processes to deliver fit-for-purpose SharePoint sites and tools. This may involve supporting the users so that they can do the implementation themselves, or it may involve prototyping / developing the appropriate SharePoint structures and workflows and presenting this to the users for their ongoing management. The role will be seen as the in-house SharePoint expert with comprehensive knowledge and authority to develop solutions which benefit the department.
