The role
This role is designed for individuals who want to go beyond conceptualizing governance and compliance in Microsoft 365 and actively implement it.
You will operate at the intersection of IT, compliance, and business, ensuring that governance measures are not only defined but technically implemented and sustainably embedded into operations.

The role is intended for individuals who are willing to take ownership, work in a structured way, and drive topics independently.

· Design governance strategies and implement retention and deletion concepts (labels, policies, archiving) in Microsoft 365
· Design use cases with business stakeholders and implement data risk solutions (e.g. sensitivity labels, DLP, information rights management)
· Analyze and manage insider risk and oversharing risks
· Design and implement governance automation (e.g. provisioning, lifecycle management)
· Configure and integrate governance measures across M365 workloads
· Ensure solutions are sustainable and effective in operational environments
Your profile
· Strong understanding of Microsoft 365, including compliance and security functionalities
· Proven experience delivering projects successfully, ideally in large enterprise environments

· Understanding of data risks and regulatory requirements
· Structured, solution-oriented working style with strong ownership mindset

• Contribution to business development and proposal creation
• Mentoring team members and ensuring quality
