Information Technology Governance Consultant

Information Technology Governance Consultant

Contract: 6 weeks (Start, likely possibility to extend to 10 weeks)

Client: Global law firm undergoing cloud transformation

Cloud Governance Officer – Azure Transformation

What you’ll do: You’ll be the bridge between cloud transformation and regulatory reality, ensuring every cloud design decision accounts for the legal sector’s complex regulatory landscape.

• Learning the client’s existing governance and regulatory frameworks, then translating these into cloud‑specific policies, controls and considerations.
• Identifying regulatory requirements that impact cloud architecture decisions (data residency, sovereignty, handling restrictions across jurisdictions).
• Reviewing cloud templates, standards, and design patterns to flag governance or regulatory risks before they’re implemented.
• Aligning cloud ways of working with legal‑sector obligations—particularly around client confidentiality and cross‑border data flows.
• Creating governance documentation that makes regulatory requirements clear and actionable for technical teams.
• Working alongside cloud solution designers to build governance into the design, not bolt it on afterwards.

What we need:

• Understanding of regulatory and governance requirements in professional services or highly regulated sectors (legal industry experience strongly preferred).
• Knowledge of data sovereignty and cross‑jurisdictional compliance challenges (experience with Australian data handling laws preferred).
• Ability to translate regulatory language into practical technical guardrails.
• Experience working across risk, governance, and technology teams.
• Strong stakeholder management—you’ll be the voice of “what we must consider” without being a blocker.

Nice to have: Azure governance tooling knowledge (Policy, Blueprints), experience with federated governance models.

Why this role: You’ll shape how a global law firm balances innovation with obligation. Critical thinking, real influence, proper governance done properly.
