The client currently uses Varonis in their environment and is looking to implement Microsoft Purview.

The Security

Lead will collaborate with the data team to implement Purview in a way that ensures the proper security controls are applied. Currently, Varonis is owned by the security team and Purview is owned by the Data and AI team. This lead will own the enforcement of data protection policies based on Purview labeling. They will develop policies to implement data protections within Purview and evaluate whether Purview could eventually replace Varonis (though not in the near term). The role involves crafting, designing, and implementing technical policies, along with potential delegation to scripts, playbooks, and agentic workflows, which is why a programming background is preferred. The ideal candidate will be experienced enough to lead the implementation, oversee third-party support, and continue to own the platform long-term.

Compensation is approximately $75/hr.
