In this role you will help Parliament enhance the way sensitive information is protected across Microsoft 365.

- Provide information management expertise to support the Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) programme, helping to ensure that information management principles, policies and practical considerations are reflected in project recommendations and decisions.
- Develop an understanding of how sensitive information is currently created, shared and managed across Microsoft 365, identifying opportunities to enhance existing practices and highlighting areas where early improvements could deliver significant benefits and reduce risk.
- Review and assessing proposed MIP roadmaps, controls and implementation approaches, offering balanced and practical advice to help shape solutions that are effective, proportionate and appropriate for Parliament’s needs.
- Work collaboratively with colleagues across the project team, contributing expertise, building strong working relationships and supporting informed decision-making to help achieve shared objectives.

We’re looking for someone who can bring their skills and experience to make a meaningful contribution here.
You’ll have:

- Relationship building and collaboration: Skilled at building positive and trusted working relationships with a wide range of colleagues and stakeholders. Able to work across teams and levels of seniority, bringing people together, encouraging engagement and helping to build support for recommendations and shared outcomes.
