Google Workspace - MCP Security Consultant

Google Workspace & MCP Security Consultant Quick Consultation | 2-3 Hour Engagement About This Role We're a lean 4-person team looking for a Google Workspace and MCP specialist to help us get our Google Workspace permissions right before we integrate Claude and Cowork.

This is a quick, targeted engagement. You'll come in, review our setup, advise on the right architecture, walk us through the key configurations, and leave us with clear documentation we can follow ourselves.
