We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Data Protection & Compliance Consultant with deep expertise in Microsoft Purview to support our clients in designing, implementing, and maturing their data governance, protection, and regulatory compliance capabilities. In this consulting role, you will work directly with client stakeholders to assess requirements, lead solution delivery, advise on best practices, and ensure successful adoption of Microsoft Purview across their Microsoft 365, Azure, and Copilot environments.

You will act as a trusted advisor—helping clients strengthen their governance frameworks, reduce regulatory risk, and establish end-to-end control of sensitive data across their digital estate.

Data Governance & Discovery

  • Guide clients in administering and optimizing the Microsoft Purview Data Map, including data scanning, classification, and cataloging of enterprise assets.
  • Support clients in establishing metadata management, business glossary standards, and stewardship processes.
  • Lead client engagements to implement data lineage and conduct impact analysis.
  • Conduct data estate maturity assessments and provide recommendations to improve governance controls.

Information Protection & Compliance

  • Advise clients on sensitive data identification and classification strategies using Purview classifiers.
  • Configure and deploy sensitivity labels, label policies, and automatic labeling tailored to client business needs.
  • Assist clients with Information Rights Management (IRM) and encryption configurations.
  • Design and implement Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions across Microsoft 365 workloads.
  • Support clients in defining and operationalizing retention and records management processes.
  • Lead client workshops and implementations for eDiscovery (Standard & Premium).
  • Help clients adopt Insider Risk Management, Communication Compliance, and auditing capabilities.

Risk, Privacy & Regulatory Alignment

  • Map Microsoft Purview capabilities to client-specific regulatory, privacy, and security frameworks.
  • Produce audit-ready reporting, compliance evidence packages, and documentation for clients.
  • Perform client-focused risk assessments and gap analyses with actionable remediation recommendations.

Platform Integration & Enablement

  • Lead integration efforts between Purview and client environments across Microsoft 365, Azure, and Copilot.
  • Guide clients on governance strategies for structured and unstructured data.
  • Advise clients on AI governance, responsible AI use, and data lifecycle implications.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • 5–8+ years in consulting or enterprise data governance, protection, compliance, or security roles.
  • Deep, hands‑on expertise with Microsoft Purview across governance, protection, and compliance solutions.
  • Strong understanding of major compliance regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, ISO, NIST).
  • Experience leading client workshops, assessments, and technical implementation engagements.
  • Ability to translate complex compliance obligations into practical controls for client environments.
  • Strong communication, facilitation, and stakeholder‑management skills.

Preferred Certifications

  • SC‑400, 401: Microsoft Information Protection Administrator
  • SC‑900: Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals
  • SC‑200: Microsoft Security Operations Analyst
  • AZ‑900: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals
