We are seeking a Senior Microsoft 365 & Cloud Security Engineer with a strong consultant mindset to join our team in the Technology Consulting & Public/Enterprise Sector. This is a high-impact, fully autonomous, and client-facing role. We are not looking for an M365 Administrator or an operational L3 profile.

Requirements

• Ability to onboard and deliver immediate value from day one without internal supervision.
• Proven experience leading technical workshops, managing stakeholders, and presenting recommendations to clients.

• Core M365: Exchange Online / On-Premises (Migrations & Coexistence), SharePoint Online & SharePoint 2019/SE, Microsoft Teams.
• Identity & Access: Entra ID (Azure AD), Active Directory (Hybrid Management), Conditional Access.
• Security & Compliance: Microsoft Defender Suite (for Endpoint, Identity, Office 365) and Microsoft Purview.
• Unified Endpoint Management: Microsoft Intune.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with MECM / SCCM.

Responsibilities

• Act as the primary technical point of contact for the client, driving discussions, defining strategies, and recommending M365 and Security solutions.
• Design, implement, and manage complex hybrid Exchange environments (On-Premises + Exchange Online), handling coexistence techniques and appliance requirements during migrations.
• Lead SharePoint 2019/SE and SharePoint Online initiatives, with a deep focus on information architecture, taxonomy, content types, and modern search configurations.
• Manage hybrid identity environments using Entra ID and Active Directory, alongside endpoint management via Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Teams deployment.
• Design and enforce security policies using the Microsoft Defender Suite (Defender for Endpoint, Identity, and Office 365), Microsoft Purview, and advanced Conditional Access policies.
