  • Microsoft Purview
  • Security across the Microsoft stack including Azure AD / Entra ID and M365

  • Act as a senior point of contact and represent the hiring manager when required
  • Run stakeholder meetings, provide technical consulting, and guide security direction
  • Support BAU operational security while contributing to upcoming security projects
About You:
You are a senior security engineer with strong technical depth and the confidence to operate in a consultative capacity.

Essential experience:
  • Senior-level DLP engineering experience
  • Expert hands-on experience with Microsoft Purview
  • Strong experience with CASB technologies (Skyhigh highly regarded)
  • Deep understanding of the Microsoft security stack
  • Strong Azure security experience, including NSGs and RBAC
  • Experience working with Microsoft Sentinel
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to run meetings and represent leadership
This is an opportunity to step into a high-visibility role within a well-recognised Australian organisation, offering hybrid flexibility and the chance to genuinely influence data protection strategy at scale.
