📋 Description

• Serve as the insider-risk technical lead and trusted advisor to USPTO stakeholders: run regular customer syncs, deliver polished status reporting, and proactively bring emerging requirements (CISA directives, NIST guidance, AI policy) to the customer with an implementation path. • Own the technical direction of the insider-risk toolset in Microsoft Purview: Insider Risk Management policies, indicators, trigger events, sequence detection, privacy/anonymization settings, role groups and permissions, DLP, sensitivity labels and auto-labeling, eDiscovery/legal holds, and unified audit log analysis. • Design and maintain custom dashboards, workbooks, and playbooks in Microsoft Sentinel; work across the program’s additional SIEMs (QRadar, Splunk) and custom Microsoft UBA rule engines; investigate and triage insider-risk alerts alongside the analysts and guide them on findings. • Build, edit, and troubleshoot Power Automate flows that drive program automation (the program currently operates 50+ production flows), using KQL, JSON, and YAML. • Advise the customer on securing Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption: Purview Data Security Posture Management, permission and sharing remediation, restricted content discovery, acceptable-use and DLP policy alignment, and NIST AI RMF alignment. • Define, track, and brief insider-risk program KPIs to leadership (alert volume and fidelity, true/false positive rates, MTTD/MTTR, repeat offenders, exfiltration channels, departmental trends) and recommend program improvements. • Mentor and technically guide the program’s insider-risk analysts; answer their questions on data findings and investigation paths. • Operate effectively in an environment where backend administration is held by government teams: the program performs front-end policy configuration and monitoring, and works through USPTO administrators for backend changes. Patience and influence without direct admin access are essential.
