Senior Microsoft 365 Engineer (Purview)

We are looking for an experienced Senior Microsoft Purview Engineer to join our team on a part-time basis. In this role, you will support client engagements across the full lifecycle — from pre-sales activities and solution scoping through to hands-on delivery — on a regular, part-time schedule.

You will act as a subject matter expert in Microsoft Purview (data governance, information protection, and compliance), advising clients, shaping solutions, and implementing them in real-world environments. This position suits experienced consultants who enjoy varied work across different clients and industries.

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on experience with Microsoft Purview across its core workloads: Data Governance (Data Map, Catalog, Classification, Lineage, DSPM), Information Protection (sensitivity labels, MIP, DLP), and Compliance solutions (Insider Risk Management, eDiscovery, Records Management, Audit, Communication Compliance)
• Strong understanding of Microsoft 365 architecture and services (Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Teams, OneDrive)
• Solid knowledge of Azure fundamentals (Entra ID, subscriptions, resource management)
• Experience integrating Purview with Microsoft 365, Azure, and hybrid/on-premises data sources
• Working knowledge of data governance frameworks, data lifecycle management, and regulatory drivers (e.g., GDPR, ISO 27001)
• Proficiency with PowerShell and Microsoft Graph API for automation and administration
• Experience in client-facing consulting roles — leading workshops, gathering requirements, and presenting solutions
• Fluent English (written and spoken)
• Ability to work independently, manage your own time, and deliver without day-to-day supervision
• Valid Microsoft certifications, e.g. SC-400 (Information Protection Administrator) or equivalent demonstrable experience

Responsobilities

Pre-sales:

• Support sales teams in qualifying opportunities and advising on solution fit
• Prepare and deliver technical presentations, demos, and proof-of-concepts
• Contribute technical content to RFP/RFI responses and proposals

Project scoping:

• Conduct discovery sessions and assessments of client environments
• Define technical scope, architecture, and implementation approach
• Produce effort estimates, statements of work, and technical solution descriptions

Project execution:

• Design, implement, and configure Microsoft Purview solutions according to agreed scope
• Perform migrations, integrations, and troubleshoot technical issues
• Document delivered solutions and provide knowledge transfer and training to client teams
• Support handover, hypercare, and post-delivery reviews

Nice to have

• Additional certifications: SC-100, AZ-500, SC-200, CIPP (privacy law), or CISSP
• Experience with Microsoft Defender XDR, Microsoft Sentinel, or Azure security stack
• Familiarity with Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse, Databricks, or Purview data governance for big data sources
• Experience with third-party governance platforms (Collibra, Informatica, Alation)
• Knowledge of industry-specific compliance regimes (HIPAA, SOX, PCI DSS)
• Strong visualization and storytelling skills for executive-level presentations
• Additional languages

Working conditions

• Engagement model: Part-time — ongoing collaboration across client projects and opportunities, without the demands of a full-time role
• Location: Fully remote
• Schedule: Flexible hours coordinated around project needs; occasional availability for client meetings in specific time zones
• Workload: Part-time with natural variation — busier around project delivery and pre-sales deadlines, quieter periods in between
