Requirements

About this role

A client runs a SharePoint intranet maintained by a single person who has no coding or design background. We are delivering a pilot: a redesigned homepage, then one working use case. If the client is happy, the remaining use cases follow as a larger programme.

The constraint that defines this role: their security policy gives us no accounts and no access to their tenant, and no client data may leave their environment. You will build everything in our own Microsoft 365 tenant and hand it over as a deployable package. Their maintainer presses the buttons. You will never see production.

· Duration: Pilot of roughly 4 to 6 weeks, with a strong likelihood of extension into the full rollout (1 year).

· Commitment: Full-time or close to it across the pilot window.

· Location: Remote, with some sessions scheduled around the client's working hours.

· Team: You, an Infomineo graphic designer, and an engagement lead. You are the only SharePoint specialist on the project.

What will you do?

Take end-to-end ownership of the SharePoint pilot, covering the following areas:

1. Pilot Delivery

· Homepage build: Deliver a modern communication site homepage from approved designs - layout, theming, navigation, native web parts, and any custom components the design genuinely requires.

· First use case: Scope and build one client use case end to end, chosen with the engagement lead once the homepage lands.

· Scope discipline: Push back when a request adds custom code for cosmetic gain. Out of the box wins unless there is a real reason it cannot.

2. Build and Hand Over Across a Tenant Boundary

· Mirror environment: Stand up and maintain a working replica of the client's site structure in our tenant, populated with synthetic content only.

· Portable artefacts: Package every deliverable so it survives the move - PnP provisioning templates, .sppkg files, site scripts, theme JSON, design assets.

· Runbooks: Write deployment instructions precise enough for a non-technical person to follow unsupervised, including rollback steps.

· Drift management: Anticipate where the client's real tenant will differ from ours - policies, existing branding, permissions, retention - and design around it rather than discovering it on deployment day.

3. Implementation Craft

· Design fidelity: Turn mockups into working pages that match the spec on spacing, type scale, states and behavior. Raise conflicts with the designer early rather than approximating.

· Responsive and accessible: Every page works on mobile and meets WCAG 2.1 AA. That is a requirement, not a stretch goal.

· Supported customization: Achieve the look through themes, site designs and SPFx. No CSS injection hacks that break at the next Microsoft release.

· Performance: Keep page load sensible and watch what your web parts do to first render.

4. Client Enablement

· Paired deployment: Run screenshare sessions where the client's maintainer drives and you navigate. Deploy through them, not around them.

· Practical teaching: Explain what you built in terms the maintainer can act on. Assume no coding background and no appetite for jargon.

· Documentation that lasts: Leave behind material the client can still use after the engagement ends.

5. Shaping the Rollout

· Estimation: Give honest effort estimates for the remaining use cases based on what the pilot actually taught you.

· Reusability: Build the homepage so its components and patterns carry into later phases instead of being rewritten.

· Risk flagging: Tell the engagement lead early when something will not work, will cost more than quoted, or depends on a client decision nobody has made.

Benefits

· Real ownership: One specialist, one client, clear deliverables. Nobody sits between you and the work.

· Runway beyond the pilot: The pilot is the audition for a multi-use-case rollout.
