Senior Consulting Engineer - Microsoft Purview & Collaboration Security

About the role

Thanks for the click. We know your time is valuable so we will get right to it. We've amassed some of the best and brightest minds in cyber security who are passionate about protecting the digital world. Our team blends advanced technology alongside deep expertise to tackle the toughest cyber threats out there. Put simply, our mission is to stay ahead of the curve and create a safer digital landscape for our partners, and we think adding a Senior Consulting Engineer will up our cyber game. This is a senior-level consulting engineering role for practitioners who are trusted to frame problems, shape decisions, and deliver durable technical outcomes. The role combines advisory consulting responsibilities with hands-on client delivery across Microsoft Purview, Defender for Office 365, collaboration security, data protection, and Microsoft 365 security governance. You will work directly with client stakeholders to clarify objectives, surface constraints and tradeoffs, and recommend technically sound paths forward. In parallel, you will help define and refine internal delivery patterns, documentation standards, and operational guardrails that support safe, repeatable execution across client environments. Role Overview. This role sits at the intersection of collaboration security, information protection, compliance, and advisory delivery. You will operate as a technical authority for both clients and internal teams-helping define problem statements, evaluate options, and guide decisions that balance risk, usability, licensing realities, and operational sustainability. The position carries a high degree of trust and autonomy. You will be expected to influence direction, challenge assumptions, and take responsibility for outcomes-not simply execute predefined tasks. The ideal candidate is comfortable working in ambiguous environments, earning client trust through clarity of thought, technical credibility, and disciplined follow-through. What you'll be doing. Client Advisory, Delivery & Decision Support Lead client discovery workshops and technical deep-dives; clarify objectives, identify constraints, surface tradeoffs, and translate ambiguity into executable decisions. Design and implement Microsoft Purview and collaboration security solutions consistent with client requirements and delivery standards. Deliver client-facing documentation that is clear, bounded, and decision-oriented, including problem statements, recommendations, rationale, expected outcomes, and operational implications. Present recommendations to client stakeholders using clear rationale, assumptions, risks, and expected outcomes; support informed decision-making rather than one-way delivery. Run technical working sessions and implementation calls; coordinate dependencies across client stakeholders and internal teams. Participate in governance cadences covering status, risks, issues, decisions, and next steps, and support change control practices for production-impacting modifications. Provide structured handoff and knowledge transfer, including runbooks, administrative guidance, and operational guardrails. Purview, Defender for Office 365 & Collaboration Security Engineering Design, implement, and optimize Microsoft Purview capabilities such as Information Protection, Data Loss Prevention, retention, records management, Insider Risk Management, Communication Compliance, eDiscovery, and data lifecycle controls as appropriate to client need and licensing posture.

Secure Microsoft 365 collaboration workloads including Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive with attention to both risk reduction and user experience. Assess existing tenant configurations, identify control gaps, and define pragmatic remediation plans that account for operational readiness and change impact. Support incident-informed hardening efforts by translating observed attack paths, risky behaviors, or governance failures into durable configuration improvements. Develop implementation standards, decision frameworks, and repeatable patterns that improve consistency across consulting engagements. Coordinate with identity, endpoint, and security operations stakeholders when control design or investigative workflows span multiple Microsoft security workloads. Operational Quality, Governance & Delivery Framework Ownership Ensure delivery artifacts are traceable, including configuration decisions, change history, validation evidence, and client approvals where applicable. Build and maintain practical implementation guides, standards, and reusable artifacts that reduce variance across engagements. Continuously identify opportunities to improve delivery safety, speed, and quality without sacrificing clarity, governance, or compliance posture. Support k
