Description
Be a trusted member of a team who brings Microsoft 365 to life for employees. You ll partner closely with colleagues across the Product and Change teams to deliver a supportive, approachable, and consistent experience, helping employees work smarter, collaborate better, and feel confident using our tools. You will be the go‑to person employees turn to when they need help working better with technology.
Key Responsibilities- Provide walk‑up, virtual, and scheduled "Genius Bar" support for:
- Outlook (email, calendar, search, rules, etc.)
- One Drive (sync, sharing, storage, recovery)
- SharePoint (team sites, document libraries, permissions)
- Copilot (how to use it productively and responsibly)
- Troubleshoot real‑world problems – not just technical errors, but workflow issues and usability challenges.
- Translate business needs into practical, workable solutions using M365 tools.
- Teach users how to use tools in ways that fit their role and working style; run 1:1 sessions and small group trainings; create simple, helpful guides and quick‑reference materials; help employees become confident, capable users of M365 and Copilot.
- Adapt to a non‑traditional environment – work with teams that have custom workflows, tight timelines, and high expectations; adjust your approach based on the user, the team, and the business context; find creative ways to make M365 tools support how people actually work at PIMCO – not just how the tools were designed.
- Be a platform champion – advocate for Microsoft 365 and Copilot across the organization; identify pain points, patterns, and opportunities for improvement; partner with Product and Change Management teams to continuously improve the user experience.

- Create and maintain tiered escalation paths and knowledge base articles to reduce repeat incidents.
- Deliver live and virtual training (1:1, small group, and department workshops) tailored to roles and scenarios (e.g., "Managing projects in Teams," "Document control in SharePoint," "Inbox zero in Outlook").
- Develop quick‑reference guides, short video walkthroughs, and "how‑to" playbooks that are easy for non‑technical users to follow.
- Run "office hours" or a walk‑up/virtual Genius Bar to provide real‑time help and adoption tips.
- Educate employees on when and how to use Copilot across Outlook, Teams, and other Microsoft 365 apps to draft content, summarize meetings, and accelerate routine work.

- Create prompt libraries and best‑practice patterns by role.
- Set up and tune Teams (channels, tags, notifications, meeting options) to reduce noise and improve collaboration.
- Build and maintain SharePoint team sites and document libraries with sensible information architecture, versioning, and lifecycle rules.
- Standardize One Drive file‑sharing practices, link settings, and recovery processes.
- Partner with business leads to identify high‑value use cases and measure adoption.
- Coordinate pilot groups, collect feedback, and iterate on training and configuration before org‑wide rollouts.
- Produce simple change‑impact notes and "what s new" communications for feature releases.
- Build no/low‑code solutions such as Power Automate flows for approvals, notifications, and routine tasks that live inside Teams/SharePoint.
- Create basic Power Apps or lists/forms that streamline data capture and handoffs.
- Document solutions and hand them off to IT for support or further…
