Job description
The SharePoint-based HMRC intranet provides business information and communications to 67,000 colleagues. We want colleagues to have high quality tools to help them do a professional job with the intranet providing a fast, frictionless, relevant digital experience.

The team will strive to fully understand the colleague experience and technical overheads that requirements bring, to maintain a consistent message and experience in the platforms roadmap and technical debt considerations within our support priorities.
You will also maintain relationships with HMRC’s Chief Digital Information Officer Group to specify and commission improvements that go beyond day-to-day maintenance.
As a specialist in SharePoint, you'll be part of a broader, growing community of SharePoint specialists across HMRC to share and grow your knowledge. You will support the content community to develop relevant knowledge and skills to edit and upload accessible content. As part of the team, you will help design and deliver relevant training.
