Are you ready to eimagine better and partner with our clients to create business value through IT solutions?
Description of Duties
- Gather and analyze client business requirements, documenting required functionality and uncovering undocumented needs through gap analysis.

- Support SharePoint migrations, including on-premises to online, preserving metadata, permissions, and retention.
- Assess current-state SharePoint and Microsoft 365 environments and develop governance roadmaps, standards, and operating models.
- Design SharePoint information architecture — site/hub structures, navigation, metadata, and managed metadata (term store) taxonomies.
- Configure and manage Microsoft Purview: sensitivity and retention labels/policies, DLP, records management, and data lifecycle management.
- Implement Purview compliance solutions such as eDiscovery, Communication Compliance, Insider Risk Management, and Information Barriers.
- Establish governance controls for site provisioning, permissions, external sharing, and content lifecycle across SharePoint, Microsoft 365 Groups, and Teams.
- Automate governance and administrative tasks using PowerShell (PnP, SharePoint Online Management Shell) and Microsoft Graph.
- Monitor compliance posture via Purview dashboards, audit logs, Content Explorer, and Activity Explorer, and produce reports and remediation recommendations.
- Partner with security, legal, records, and compliance teams to translate policy and regulatory requirements into technical controls.
- Develop governance documentation, standards, and runbooks, and train administrators, site owners, and end users.
- Troubleshoot system issues through root-cause analysis and track assigned tasks and milestones using Azure DevOps or Jira.

- 3+ years hands-on with Microsoft Purview, including information protection, data lifecycle/retention, and DLP.
- Strong knowledge of Microsoft 365 information governance: sensitivity labels, retention, records management, eDiscovery, and auditing.
- Experience designing SharePoint information architecture — managed metadata, content types, and site/hub structures.
- Proficiency with PowerShell (PnP, SharePoint Online Management Shell) and familiarity with Microsoft Graph for automation and reporting.
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Entra ID (groups, conditional access, identity) as it relates to access governance.
- Understanding of regulatory frameworks (GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA/CPRA, SOX) and how they map to Microsoft 365 controls.
- Business Analyst experience across the SDLC, including testing and validating solutions.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to lead governance workshops and drive consensus.
