Microsoft 365 Security Engineer
Our client, a well-established international hospitality brand with a strong family culture, is looking for a Microsoft 365 & Security Infrastructure Administrator who loves building things properly.
This role sits at the heart of the organisation's cyber security strategy. You'll take a clear security vision and engineer it into a scalable, automated Microsoft cloud platform that's secure by design.
Scalable infrastructure: ad-hoc management replaced by a fully automated, policy-driven environment.
Proactive security: security gaps remediated before they're exploited, with a focus on long-term stability.
Metrics-driven operations: a regular cadence of high-signal reporting on platform health and risk reduction.
Zero-touch operations: secure, automated provisioning that minimises manual intervention.
Key responsibilities
Identity, access & segregation (Entra ID): optimise directory structure using Administrative Units and enforce strict segregation of duties.
Endpoint security & device management (Intune): configure MDM/MAM and automated deployment across all device types.
Platform hardening & security baselines: implement secure-by-design baselines across the Microsoft 365 stack, including Copilot.
Azure tenant & cloud governance: enforce data residency and Zero Trust principles, using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
SharePoint & collaboration governance: deliver site lifecycle management and external sharing controls.
Compliance, audit & documentation: maintain technical standards and code-based evidence for audit readiness.
About you
Proactive solution-finder: you put long-term system integrity ahead of short-term fixes.
Data-driven and analytical: you define success through measurable KPIs and clear executive reporting.
Modern cloud mentality: you stay current with Microsoft's evolving cloud and AI landscape.
Hands-on Microsoft 365 security experience: strong working knowledge of Entra ID, Intune, Azure and SharePoint governance.
Automation mindset: experience with Infrastructure as Code (ideally Terraform) and policy-driven management at scale.
This is a permanent role, with two days a week in the office. Salary on offer is £55,000 - £65,000.
