About us:

BCN Group is a fast-growing provider of digital transformation and IT managed solutions to UK businesses. We provide a full suite of solutions comprising on-premises, hybrid and cloud hosting solutions, Azure cloud migration services, Microsoft product development, application support, voice solutions, data management and hardware sales and maintenance.

You will be joining a business which has grown significantly, has ambitious expansion plans and continues to invest in its transformation projects and its people.

Focus of the role:

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced SharePoint Solutions Lead to join our team. As a SharePoint Solutions Lead, you will be responsible for creating SharePoint sites, configuring security and access, and developing bespoke custom web parts in SPFx across a variety of client business areas from healthcare to engineering and more.

You will advise customers on the options and recommendations for solutions that would meet their needs in a consultative manner, having captured and interrogated their requirements and recording them as user stories, and producing a Statement of Work detailing the solution you will develop for them.

You will then develop these solutions within the timescales you have estimated, drawing in colleagues with required skillsets in other technologies when required. Larger projects will have a Project Manager assigned to assist and support, but there is an expectation that a Solutions Lead will be able to manage smaller projects directly with the client themselves.

Your skills will also be utilised internally where opportunities arise and are identified to enhance our business processes or develop a product/service we can then deliver to our clients.
