This is a hands‑on consulting and engineering role focused on delivery: translating regulatory and business requirements into production‑ready Microsoft Purview solutions, owning the deployment lifecycle, and ensuring data governance controls are aligned with enterprise security, privacy, and compliance standards.

Responsibilities

• Conduct discovery workshops with client compliance, legal, privacy, and IT stakeholders to develop target‑state data governance and Microsoft Purview solution designs.
• Implement enterprise data classification frameworks using Sensitivity Labels, Microsoft Information Protection, auto‑labeling, encryption, and container‑level protection across Microsoft 365 services and endpoints.
• Develop and maintain enterprise information protection policies aligned with regulatory and organizational compliance requirements.

Data Loss Prevention & Records Management

• Configure Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies across Microsoft 365 workloads, endpoints, and cloud environments using sensitivity labels and sensitive information types to prevent unauthorized sharing of regulated data.
• Deploy retention labels, retention policies, records management, disposition reviews, legal hold, and regulatory retention capabilities to meet organizational and regulatory compliance requirements.
• Configure data lifecycle management policies to ensure compliant retention, archival, and disposition of enterprise information.

Insider Risk, eDiscovery & Compliance

• Configure Insider Risk Management, Communication Compliance, eDiscovery (Standard and Premium), and Audit solutions to support investigations, legal discovery, and regulatory examinations.
• Implement audit and compliance controls that support organizational governance, regulatory reporting, and legal hold requirements.
• Partner with Collaboration & Content and Microsoft 365 Copilot consultants to ensure enterprise content is appropriately classified, protected, and governed for secure Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption.

Deployment Ownership & Governance

• Own the complete deployment lifecycle from discovery workshops and compliance assessments through solution design, implementation, staged rollouts, production deployment, testing, and operational handover.
• Develop reusable Microsoft Purview configuration baselines, policy templates, deployment guides, implementation documentation, and operational runbooks.
• Produce technical design documents, implementation documentation, operational guides, and knowledge transfer materials to support ongoing operations.

Client Advisory & Stakeholder Collaboration

• Act as a trusted advisor by translating regulatory, privacy, and data governance requirements into Microsoft Purview solutions while recommending Microsoft and industry best practices.
• Collaborate closely with Collaboration & Content, Endpoint & Identity, Copilot & AI, Cybersecurity, and client stakeholders to deliver integrated Microsoft 365 security and compliance solutions.
