· Experience working with Microsoft 365 services and/or Azure data services such as Sharepoint, Teams, Office 365, SQL, Azure Data Lake Services.
Additional or Preferred Qualifications
· Bachelor's Degree in Information Management, or related field and 5+ years' experience in Data / Information Management.

Notes for Recruiters:

Preferred Microsoft Certifications:
· SC-400 - The main Purview cert, it's beneficial but very few likely have it
· SC-100 - This one would be very valuable, as it means they have a good baseline Purview and broader M365 capabilities, easier to train the depth
· MS-500 - Similar to above, this is useful as it covers Purview from an M365 focused perspective to quite some depth. This was the go to, prior to SC-400
· MS-102 - Expert cert for M365, should make it fairly easy to bring them up to speed on any required technical depth.
· SC-300 - This one is also useful, as if they have a good understanding of our identity platform which provides a good starting point to build on
· MS-900 - Solid baseline for M365
· SC-900 - Solid baseline for Microsoft Security

Tooling skills to look for:

Data Security - Specifically for Data Security, these are all useful tools to have knowledge of so candidates with these would likely be easier to train.

· Information Protection
· Data Loss Prevention
· Insider Risk Management
· Defender for Cloud Apps
· Defender for Endpoint
· Device Management (Intune etc)
· Azure Active Directory

Data Compliance - Compliance tools do require a separate set of knowledge and while not in scope, it would help for the possible future plays and shouldn't be too difficult to train on the Security side.

· Data Lifecycle Management
· Records Management
· e-Discovery
· Priva
