HYBRID/FLEXIBLE WORKING

The Opportunity

This role will support the full set up of Microsoft Office 365 (O365), primarily Microsoft Teams and SharePoint Online, to facilitate effective group and team working with improved records management and information security.

As part of this project, you will be involved in a wide range of activities including engaging and communicating with colleagues, gathering information, planning how to implement this project, and writing governance and training material. You will also be training colleagues to use O365 so they can collaborate, communicate, and manage their files securely.

As a member of the Planning and Performance Team you will help the Galleries comply with various information, records, and personal data legislation. You will work as part of a cross-divisional project team, led by the Records & Information Manager and the IT Infrastructure Manager, to fully implement O365.

Project background

The Galleries has invested in Microsoft A5 and A1 licensing to allow colleagues to work anywhere on different devices. Currently, colleagues can use Outlook, OneDrive, Teams chats, calls and meetings, and a SharePoint Intranet Hub site with communication sites. This project will fully set up Microsoft Office 365 (O365) to facilitate group and team communication and collaboration, information security and in-situ records management. SharePoint online document libraries with columns and metadata will become the primary storage location for team and group files, replacing network drives and personal OneDrive folders and files currently used for this purpose. We are running trials before fully implementing O365 and will be taking a more agile learn-as-we-go approach to delivering this project.

Key responsibilities:

• Work with the project team to gather information from across the Galleries to help inform the setup of Microsoft Teams and SharePoint Online
• Engage with colleagues to determine how they work, who they communicate and collaborate with, and how they currently manage files
• Work with the Information & Records Manager and Compliance Manager to help populate an Information Asset Register and Record of Processing Activities, and help refine the Records Retention Schedule
• Help the Records & Information Manager conduct research on O365 information security and records management capabilities and setup
• Work with the project team to translate information gathering findings into functional recommendations for the setup of O365 – what groups, teams, sites, libraries, columns, and metadata do we need?
• Help the project team produce governance and training content to ensure Galleries colleagues can manage and use O365 effectively
• Help the project team train colleagues face-to-face and online to use O365 apps so they can collaborate, communicate, and manage their files securely
• Help the Records & Information Manager manage, develop, and promote the use of the SharePoint Intranet and Yammer, as well as any other collaboration or communication apps we may use in future
• Help the project team address any queries or problems, and escalate any that you cannot answer or resolve yourself to the relevant people or teams who can help
