  NOTE: This is a business operations and product advisory role, not a technical engineering position.
  
  Agile IT is a Microsoft-centric cybersecurity consulting and managed services provider. We help customers migrate to, modernize, and secure Microsoft 365, Azure, Azure Government, and Microsoft GCC High environments-with a mission to make cybersecurity practical and sustainable through repeatable architectures, evidence automation, and managed operations.

  Our Services
  
  • Professional Services: Scoped projects to deploy, configure, migrate-to, and secure Microsoft cloud environments.

  Job Description
  
  Role Summary:
  
  The M365 Licensing Specialist is our Subject Matter Expert on Microsoft licensing, responsible for both advisory guidance and operational execution across multiple channels and programs. You will guide our internal sales team and clients on the most appropriate licensing for given scenarios, process license orders and renewals, provision customer tenants, respond to licensing inquiries, and maintain accurate records and documentation.
  
  This is a business operations and product advisory role, not a technical engineering position. You will not configure systems, troubleshoot technical issues, or perform hands-on IT work.

  This role requires deep familiarity with Microsoft 365 product licensing and features and an advanced ability to research and interpret Microsoft documentation including licensing documents, product comparisons, pricelists, and other materials. Familiarity with meeting CMMC requirements with Microsoft GCC and GCC High licensing is a significant advantage.
