If you are a Global Admin, you can give your hand picked trusted employee limited access to Office365 Management roles.

Go to Admin Control Panel>Users>Active Users
Check off the user you want to add management permissions

On the right a user management pane will slide out

Click EDIT USER ROLES
Click CUSTOMIZED ADMINISTRATOR

Here you will have specific roles to choose from to delegate Office365 management:

Global admin: Has access to all administrative features. Global admins are the only admins who can assign other admin roles. You can have more than one global admin in your organization. The person who signs up to purchase Office 365 becomes a global admin

Service administrator: Manages service requests and monitors service health.

NOTE: Before global admins can assign the service admin role to a user, they first assign the user administrative permissions to a service, such as Exchange Online, and then assign the service admin role to the user in Office 365.

Password administrator: Resets passwords, manages service requests, and monitors service health. Password admins are limited to resetting passwords for users.

Billing administrator: Makes purchases, manages subscriptions, manages support tickets, and monitors service health.

NOTE: If you didn’t purchase Office 365 from Microsoft, you can’t make billing changes and therefore can’t be assigned the billing admin role. For billing issues, contact the admin at the organization where you purchased your subscription.

User management administrator: Resets passwords, monitors service health, and manages user accounts, user groups, and service requests. The user management admin can’t delete a global admin, create other admin roles, or reset passwords for billing, global, and service admins.

SharePoint administrator: Has administrative access to SharePoint Online through the SharePoint Online admin center, and can perform almost any task in SharePoint Online.

Exchange administrator: Has administrative access to Exchange Online through the Exchange admin center (EAC), and can perform almost any task in Exchange Online.

Skype for Business administrator: Has administrative access to Skype for Business through the Skype for Business admin center, and can perform almost any task in Skype for Business Online.
