• Lead executive discovery sessions and workshops with C-suite stakeholders (CISO, DPO, General Counsel) to translate compliance requirements into actionable technical designs.

• Assess client data risk profiles prior to AI rollout; design strict permission controls and data lifecycle rules to prevent accidental data oversharing via Microsoft 365 Copilot.
• Design and deliver Microsoft 365 Copilot enablement and governance training for client teams, translating Purview based data protection controls into practical Copilot usage guidance.
• Define integration architecture between Microsoft Purview, Microsoft Defender XDR, Defender for Cloud Apps, and Microsoft Entra ID, in close collaboration with the technical delivery team.
• Mentor junior consultants, contribute to reusable technical baselines, and assist in pre-sales activities including technical scoping and Statement of Work (SOW) creation.

• 5+ years in IT security, compliance, or cloud consultancy, with at least 2+ years of dedicated experience designing, implementing, and leading Microsoft Purview architectures for enterprise clients.
• Strong working knowledge of M365 service management and Entra ID permissions architecture.
• Working knowledge of PowerShell to read, validate, and lightly adapt scripts for policy validation and reporting; deep scripting or automation development is a plus.
• Demonstrable experience designing or delivering Microsoft Copilot adoption programs, governance frameworks, or hands‑on Copilot solution building for enterprise clients.
• Working knowledge of European and global regulatory frameworks (GDPR, NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001).
• Strong workshop facilitation skills with the ability to articulate complex security concepts to non-technical business leaders.
• Fluent in English and either French or Dutch, or both.

Desirable Certifications:

• Primary Focus (Development):
  • Microsoft Certified: Cybersecurity Architect Expert (SC-100), or equivalent architect level certification
