This initiative is led by WCS Information Technology (“IT”) to establish consistent and secure collaboration practices across WCS.

Objective:

WCS seeks a consultant to assist with developing and implementing new Microsoft-based solutions using Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive after assessing current data usage and collaborative practices in Gabon, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and the Republic of Congo (RoC).

• Ensure compliance with WCS IT and related policies and adherence to best practices.

Oversight and Reporting:

The consultant will report to the SharePoint Engineer designated by WCS IT.

The WCS IT will provide strategic direction, approve deliverables, and retain ownership of all technical and architectural decisions. The consultant will not implement solutions, grant access, or modify configurations outside of WCS IT-approved standards and procedures.

Required qualifications:

• Workflow analysis and documentation of use cases.
• Microsoft 365-based collaboration environments and associated add-in tools.
• Data management, systems administration, and platform security.
• Demonstrated experience working with centralized IT governance and operating models.
