Is this job info correct?
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

Why work with us?
​Our Culture
  • Open communication and a focus on psychological safety;
  • Recognition of achievements and contributions;
  • Collaboration across multicultural teams;
  • Less bureaucracy, more focus on results.

Hiring Process
  • Intro call
  • Technical Interview
  • Manager Interview
  • Pre-offer stage + Reference Check (if requested)
  • Official Offer
