Our top financial client is looking for a SharePoint Web Publisher. As a SharePoint Web Publisher, you’ll play a key role in shaping and maintaining the corporate intranet experience. You’ll support content owners across the organization by ensuring information is clear, accessible, well‑structured, and easy to find. You will publish pages, documents, and graphics using SharePoint Online while applying best practices in information architecture, UX design, accessibility (WCAG), and content governance. This role requires deep, hands‑on SharePoint expertise—someone who understands not only how to publish, but how SharePoint works, how it scales in a large enterprise environment, and how to support others in using it effectively.

Who You Are: A SharePoint Expert

• Highly skilled in site creation, publishing, metadata, permissions, lists/libraries, and modern web parts
• Able to troubleshoot issues, coach content owners, and improve publishing workflows

Strong Communicator

Accessibility‑Focused
• Solid understanding of WCAG guidelines and accessible content design (headings, structure, alt‑text, contrast, readability)

Detail‑Oriented & Organized
• Strong attention to detail when reviewing content, structures, and page layouts
• Able to manage multiple deadlines and requests simultaneously

Curious & Solution‑Oriented
• Enjoys improving tools, templates, and processes
• Brings forward recommendations for better workflows, navigation, and user experience
