This role is focused on leveraging the Microsoft Purview suite to safeguard our organization's most critical data assets across our hybrid environment. The ideal candidate will be a subject matter expert in designing, implementing, and managing data-centric security controls within Microsoft Purview and Azure.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and manage a comprehensive data protection strategy utilizing the Microsoft Purview governance and compliance portal.

• Deploy and configure Microsoft Purview solutions, including Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) for data classification and sensitivity labeling, Insider Risk Management, and eDiscovery.

• Develop and enforce data governance policies to discover, classify, and protect sensitive data across Microsoft , Azure, on-premises infrastructure, and other SaaS applications.

• Create, tune, and monitor robust Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies for endpoints, email, Microsoft Teams, and cloud applications to prevent data exfiltration.

• Collaborate with business, legal, and compliance teams to translate data protection requirements into technical policies and controls.

• Manage the configuration and lifecycle of sensitivity labels to ensure proper encryption, access control, and visual markings are applied to documents and emails.

• Serve as the subject matter expert for data-related security incidents, using Purview tools for investigation, forensics, and response.

• Monitor the effectiveness of data protection controls and provide regular reporting on compliance, risk posture, and policy enforcement to leadership.

• Stay current with the latest advancements and threats in the data protection landscape and the evolution of the Microsoft Purview platform.

• Actively coach and mentor other security and technology team members on data protection best practices.

• Participate in the security team's on-call rotation and be available to respond to critical data security incidents outside of regular business hours.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.

• Professional certification in Microsoft security, such as SC-: Microsoft Information Protection Administrator, is strongly preferred. AZ- or other relevant certifications are a plus.

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in information security, with at least 3 years focused specifically on data protection, data governance, or information lifecycle management.

• Deep, hands-on experience with the Microsoft Purview suite (formerly Microsoft Compliance Center), including DLP, MIP/AIP, Data Classification, and Insider Risk Management.

• Strong experience with the Microsoft Azure ecosystem and securing data within Azure services (Azure Storage, Azure SQL, etc.).

• Proficiency with scripting languages, particularly PowerShell, for automating security and compliance tasks.

• Strong understanding of data privacy regulations and compliance frameworks (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, ISO ).

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to manage security incidents under pressure.

• Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to effectively communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
