Purpose of Role

The Lead of Microsoft Purview exists to establish and run an enterprise information protection and data governance capability that reduces data exposure and enables compliant collaboration across Microsoft 365 and integrated platforms. This role designs and operationalizes scalable controls—classification, labeling, retention, DLP, Insider Risk, eDiscovery, and information boundaries—by translating legal, regulatory, HR, and cybersecurity requirements into enforceable policy. The Lead drives cross-functional governance and ensures Purview is integrated into endpoints, identity, collaboration workloads, and key SaaS systems to deliver consistent protection and measurable compliance outcomes.

Your Impact

  • Define and execute the enterprise Purview strategy and multi-year roadmap, aligning information governance priorities to business needs and risk posture.
  • Design and maintain the enterprise data classification and labeling model (sensitivity labels, auto-labeling where appropriate), ensuring clear handling expectations and consistent end-user experience.
  • Implement, tune, and operate Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies across endpoints and Microsoft 365 workloads (e.g., Exchange, Teams, SharePoint/OneDrive), balancing protection with productivity.
  • Establish and manage retention and records governance (retention labels/policies, disposition workflows), enabling defensible compliance and lifecycle management of content.
  • Build and run Insider Risk and related controls (policy design, indicator governance, escalation paths) in partnership with HR, Legal, and Cybersecurity.
  • Partner with Legal and Compliance to operationalize eDiscovery processes (holds, collections, case workflows), ensuring repeatable execution and audit readiness.
  • Define and enforce data boundaries and collaboration controls (information barriers / boundaries and policy guardrails) to reduce inappropriate sharing and insider risk.
  • Drive platform integrations and policy extension to adjacent systems (identity, endpoint management, security tooling, and prioritized SaaS platforms), ensuring consistent enforcement and telemetry.
  • Operate monitoring, reporting, and governance rhythms: dashboards/metrics, control health, policy exceptions, and executive-ready compliance updates.
  • Own operational processes and documentation (runbooks, change control, standards, training) and guide cross-functional teams to ensure consistent adoption and execution without direct authority.
  • Provide licensing/budget input and support vendor/auditor engagement as needed, ensuring the program is sustainable and scalable.

Qualifications

  • Experience operating compliance programs (control health, reporting, audits, metrics) and building sustainable operating models (standards, runbooks, change governance).
