MICROSOFT PURVIEW SPECIALIST
WIRRAL – HYBRID WORKING – UP TO £55,000
Hybrid working model (Wirral based)
Salary up to £55,000 depending on experience
Enterprise Microsoft environment with full Purview licensing
Opportunity to shape and mature Information Governance capability
ABOUT THE CLIENT
Due to ongoing investment in data governance and compliance, we're seeking an experienced Microsoft Purview Specialist to join a well-established UK organisation.
With access to the full Microsoft Purview suite under top-tier licensing, the business is now looking to fully leverage the platform beyond basic eDiscovery usage and embed robust Information Governance practices across the organisation.
THE MICROSOFT PURVIEW SPECIALIST ROLE:
You will be responsible for expanding and optimising the organisation's use of Microsoft Purview, moving beyond reactive eDiscovery processes into proactive, structured Information Governance.
While eDiscovery is currently in place (largely supporting GDPR/DPA requests), this role will focus on implementing and managing the wider Purview feature set, ensuring data is correctly classified, labelled, protected and monitored across the estate.
This is not a role for someone with surface-level exposure or purely theoretical knowledge. We're looking for hands-on, real-world experience implementing governance controls in a live enterprise environment — someone who understands the practical challenges and common pitfalls of rolling out Information Governance at scale.
MICROSOFT PURVIEW SPECIALIST ESSENTIAL SKILLS
Proven commercial experience administering and implementing Microsoft Purview in a professional environment
Strong hands-on experience with:
Information cataloguing and data discovery
Sensitivity and retention labelling
Insider Risk / Insider Threat management capabilities
Creating and managing sensitivity and retention policies
Manual and automated data classification
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) configuration and monitoring
Experience embedding governance frameworks within Microsoft 365 environments
Strong understanding of data protection regulations (e.g. GDPR, DPA)
Ability to identify and mitigate common implementation challenges and governance "gotchas"
Experience working with Legal, Compliance, IT and Security stakeholders
WHAT WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR
Candidates whose experience is limited to eDiscovery or DSAR request handling only or Individuals with knowledge of Purview gained solely through training courses without practical, hands-on implementation experience
