Modern Workplace Engineer

Build the workplace, don't just maintain it.

Are you passionate about Microsoft 365, modern workplace technology and continuously improving the employee experience?

Would you like to work in an environment where you can influence how the digital workplace is designed, while developing your skills in Azure, Security and Cloud technology?

Within The Relevance Group, we are building one secure, standardized and future-proof IT environment for multiple companies across the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland.

To strengthen our central IT team, we are looking for a Microsoft 365 Modern Workplace Engineer.

About The Relevance Group

The Relevance Group is a European group of companies specialized in data-driven marketing, sales optimization and technology.

Our companies combine expertise in data, analytics, marketing and technology to help organizations make better decisions and work smarter with data.

You will be part of our central IT team, helping us further professionalize and standardize the technology that supports our companies and colleagues across Europe.

Your role

As our Microsoft 365 Modern Workplace Engineer, you will manage, improve and further develop our Microsoft 365 workplace environment.

This is a hands-on engineering role where day-to-day operations, continuous improvement and technical projects come together.

You will work with technologies such as:

• Microsoft 365

• Microsoft Intune

• Microsoft Entra ID

• Exchange Online

• Microsoft Teams

• SharePoint Online

• OneDrive

• Conditional Access

• PowerShell

An important part of your role will be supporting the migration and integration of our different companies into our central Microsoft 365 environment.

You won't simply keep the environment running. You'll help shape how we design, secure, automate and improve it.

What will you be doing?Microsoft 365 & Modern Workplace

• Manage and continuously improve our Microsoft 365 environment

• Manage Intune, Entra ID, Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive

• Configure and maintain modern workplace environments

• Manage endpoints throughout their lifecycle

• Configure device policies, compliance policies and application deployments

• Improve security using MFA, Conditional Access and endpoint security

• Support and improve onboarding and offboarding processes

• Monitor the health and security of the workplace environment

• Identify opportunities to improve user experience, security and standardization

Migration, Automation & Development

• Support Microsoft 365 migrations and integrations across the group

• Help standardize workplace configurations across our companies

• Contribute to the further centralization of IT services

• Improve IT management processes and technical documentation

• Automate repetitive tasks using PowerShell and Microsoft 365 tooling

• Gradually become more involved in Azure and cloud technologies

And yes, support is part of the job

Our main focus is engineering, administration and continuous improvement, but you'll also occasionally support colleagues with first- and second-line technical questions.

We don't see support as simply closing tickets.

It gives us direct insight into how people use our technology and where we can make things better through improved configurations, automation and standards.

What we're looking for

You are curious, structured and enjoy solving technical challenges.

You take ownership and like finding the root cause, rather than simply fixing the immediate issue.

You bring:

• MBO level 4 / HBO working and thinking level through education and/or practical experience

• Experience managing Microsoft 365 environments

• Knowledge of Intune, Entra ID, Teams and Exchange Online

• Interest in Modern Workplace, Security and Cloud technologies

• Good communication skills in Dutch and English

• A proactive and customer-focused mindset

We expect someone with approximately 3 to 6 years of relevant experience to fit the role well.

Have less experience but a strong technical foundation and the ambition to grow? We still encourage you to apply.

Nice to have

Experience with one or more of the following is a plus:

• Conditional Access

• Device Management

• Endpoint Security

• PowerShell

• SharePoint Online

• Azure

• Microsoft 365 governance and security

• Automation

• Microsoft certifications such as MD-102 or MS-102

Why this role is different

Many Modern Workplace roles are mainly about maintaining an existing environment.

This one isn't.

We're actively centralizing and professionalizing our IT landscape. You'll have the opportunity to help shape how Microsoft 365 and our workplace technology work across multiple companies and countries.

You'll work on both operational improvements and larger migration and integration projects.

And as our cloud environment develops, so can you.

Depending on your interests and ambitions, you'll have the opportunity to grow towards:

Azure Cloud | Security | Platform Engineering

Where will you work?

We believe collaboration matters, but so does flexibility.

You'll typically work around three days per week from our IT location in Nieuwegein. You'll also regularly work with colleagues in Eindhoven, Hamburg and other companies within The Relevance Group.

The remaining days can be worked flexibly in a hybrid setup.

What we offer

• A technical role within a growing international organization

• Plenty of ownership and freedom to bring your own ideas

• Direct impact on the development of our digital workplace

• Microsoft training and certification opportunities

• A development path towards Azure Cloud, Security or Platform Engineering

• Competitive salary and benefits

• 25 vacation days, with the option to purchase additional days

• Hybrid working

• An informal and entrepreneurial working environment

• Team activities, events and social gatherings

Do you enjoy working with Microsoft 365, Intune and Entra ID, but want to do more than simply administer an existing environment?
