About The Position

As an Enhanced Data Protection Project Manager, you will coordinate complex security, compliance, and information-protection initiatives that safeguard sensitive data across Microsoft 365 IL5 and IL6 Flank Speed environments. You will guide mission teams in planning, delivering, and maturing enterprise data-protection capabilities that measurably strengthen secure collaboration and Zero Trust. As a Project Manager supporting Microsoft Purview data-protection programs, you’ll lead the planning, execution, and sustainment of enterprise information-protection, DLP, insider-risk, and lifecycle-governance initiatives across Microsoft 365. You’ll work with Navy mission stakeholders, cybersecurity teams, records managers, cloud-engineering personnel, and Purview SMEs to translate policy requirements into actionable roadmaps, orchestrate technical implementation, and ensure consistent progress toward mission-critical outcomes. Your leadership will be central as you oversee projects involving Sensitive Information Types (SITs), label-driven encryption, retention and records-management controls, insider-risk governance, endpoint DLP, and compliance automation. You’ll facilitate requirements gathering, monitor execution across engineering teams, manage risks and interdependencies, and ensure documentation, communication, and decision-making stay aligned with IL5 or IL6 GovCloud and Zero Trust principles. You’ll deepen your expertise in cloud-security program management while helping mission partners modernize how they protect, govern, and audit sensitive information. Help us deliver cloud-secure readiness for our nation’s warfighters by enabling robust Microsoft Purview governance, disciplined project execution, and enterprise-level data-protection strategy.
