Want to own and influence a Microsoft estate built for the future?
Shape the way an organisation collaborates, governs information and unlocks value from technology.
I am supporting a forward‑thinking Housing Association that are building a modern, cloud‑first digital organisation.

You'll drive the implementation and optimisation of Microsoft Purview capabilities, including retention policies, sensitivity labelling, e Discovery and compliance functions.
Working closely with operational teams, you'll identify opportunities to improve user experiences, service delivery, oversee testing and release management processes, support integration with Microsoft Fabric and wider data initiatives, and act as a trusted advisor on application strategy, investment and technology decisions.
