Job Description:
The Oregon Department of Education, Early Learning Division is excited to announce a permanent opening for a M365 System Administrator (Information System Specialist 6).

This position will play a critical role in the development of the Early Learning Division as its own state agency.
Oregon is home to over 275,000 children, birth to kindergarten entry. Our state has an opportunity to change how it supports these children and their families and, in doing so, put itself on the path to an even brighter future. Overwhelming evidence tells us that investing in young children and their families has a lasting, positive impact across their lifetime. Now is your chance to be part of an agency that will have positive impacts on current and future generations of young children and their families.
This position will work a hybrid schedule of working both remotely and in the office.
More about us:
This position is part of the
Early Learning Division
– a Division that prides itself on enabling Oregon's young children and families to learn and thrive. The Division is responsible for overseeing the state’s Head Start, Pre-Kindergarten, and Relief Nurseries programs, among others; and licensing Oregon’s child care providers.
Considering a career with us means that you value dedication, integrity, and collective wisdom and that you are eager to employ values rooted in equity to benefit Oregon’s children and families. The Division also values diversity and supports a positive and welcoming environment where all of our employees can thrive. Those who fill these positions will join a new team of dedicated and passionate professionals. Our teams promote a collaborative, proactive culture of continuous quality improvement with a focus on quality implementation and impactful outcomes for children and families. As our state, counties, and cities become more diverse, it is imperative now more than ever that the Division focuses on evolving practices to achieve increased equity, diversity, and inclusion in all of our offices. As always, our goal is to lead with courage externally and internally. This means challenging ourselves to do things differently and refining current practices that ensure we continue to make strides towards equity. The Early Learning Division supports a work life balance, where employees are supported in an environment where they can thrive.
This M365 System Administrator position will be housed in the Information Technology unit. This unit works collaboratively and engages frequently with partners throughout and outside the organization. This is particularly true, as the Early Learning Division relies on the Department of Education for most IT support as we develop internal capacity. We are business-driven, which means that knowledge of program areas and maintaining relationships in every business unit is common. The Early Learning Division is in the process of transitioning into a new agency, the Department of Early Learning and Care. It’s an exciting time to be a part of the Information Services team, as we are developing the technology processes and structures that will support this new agency. Our work directly benefits Oregon children, care providers, families, and communities.

This position routinely works with Enterprise Information Services (EIS) M365 partners to troubleshoot system problems and ensure alignment with the Enterprise. This position also engages in contract and vendor management to ensure appropriate licensing and support from vendors.
This position is a Tier 3 technical expert in the design, recommendation, and use of M365 and related cloud services.
