Company Name: VARITE India Private Limited

About The Client:

A global qualified services network and part of the Big Four, along with Client, EY, and KPMG, operating across 149 countries worldwide.

About The Job:
- Client is seeking an experienced Director-level Security Architect to lead the design, governance, and technical direction of large-scale enterprise security transformation programs — with immediate responsibility for a major Microsoft E5 Security and Purview implementation for a global client.
- This is a working architect role, not a purely oversight position.
- The successful candidate must be equally comfortable presenting architecture strategy and risk trade-offs to client CISOs and board-level stakeholders, and rolling up their sleeves to configure, troubleshoot, and validate Microsoft E5 capabilities directly when delivery timelines, escalations, or technical complexity demand it.
- We are looking for a solid hands-on practitioner with genuine prior delivery experience on the Microsoft E5 suite and to manage leadership-level client relationships.





Essential Job Functions:

Hands-On Architecture Leadership & Delivery:
- Own the end-to-end target security architecture across Microsoft Entra ID, Defender Suite (MDE, MDO, MDCA, MDI), Microsoft 365 Defender XDR, and Microsoft Purview (DLP, Insider Risk, eDiscovery, Information Protection, Compliance Manager).
- Personally configure, test, and troubleshoot Conditional Access, Identity Protection, ASR rules, DLP policies, and sensitivity labels when required — particularly during initial deployment, escalations, or complex wave cutovers where deep technical credibility is needed.
- Define enterprise-wide architectural standards for RBAC, cross-domain XDR correlation, and legacy tool decommissioning (CrowdStrike, Checkpoint EDR, Symantec DLP, Sophos).
- Design the enterprise sensitivity label taxonomy, data governance model, and DLP control framework aligned to regulatory and business requirements.
