Employment Type:

Project/Engagement-Based with Potential for Long-Term Opportunity

Role Overview :
The Senior Consultant – Microsoft Power Platform & Agentic Automation will serve as a senior hands-on technical and client-facing leader responsible for delivering high-quality Microsoft Power Platform solutions while elevating the performance of the broader delivery team. Power Platform expertise is the primary technical requirement, but success extends beyond development: the Senior Consultant must consider architecture, scalability, maintainability, long-term strategy, and business outcomes when making solution decisions.

This person will guide other developers, proactively identify risks, influence technical direction, and earn the trust of client leadership through expertise, professionalism, tact, and consistent delivery. The strongest performers will become viewed by clients as crucial to their success, strengthening
*** relationship and creating opportunities for continued and expanded work.

Purpose:

Lead the delivery of high-impact Microsoft Power Platform solutions while becoming a trusted advisor who improves both client outcomes and team performance. Your influence will extend beyond what gets built to how solutions scale, how teams deliver, and how clients view
*** as a strategic partner.

Growth:
Expand from senior Power Platform practitioner into broader solution and consulting leadership across architecture, agentic AI, Copilot Studio, Azure, UiPath, and intelligent automation. Strong performance creates a path toward solution architecture, technical leadership, strategic client ownership, and broader organizational influence.

Motivators:
This role is designed for someone who wants to remain technically credible while having greater influence over architecture, teams, clients, and long-term outcomes. You will solve complex problems, mentor others, shape technical strategy, and earn greater responsibility through expertise and trusted client relationships.

Major Performance Objectives

Lead High-Quality Power Platform Delivery from Day One. Within the first 90 days, take ownership of significant Power Platform solution components or work streams and deliver them on schedule with a higher level of quality, independence, and judgment. Design and build solutions using Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, integrations, and related Microsoft technologies while considering performance, security, scalability, architecture, maintainability, and long-term support.

Anticipate risks rather than reacting to them and help ensure the overall team meets delivery commitments. Success will be measured by predictable delivery, high-quality technical outcomes, minimal avoidable rework, effective risk management, and strong confidence from project leadership and clients.

Become a Trusted Client Advisor and Thought Leader. During the first 3–6 months, establish credibility with client stakeholders by understanding their business objectives, communicating technical tradeoffs clearly, challenging assumptions constructively, and recommending solutions that consider both immediate requirements and longer-term strategy. Lead or substantially contribute to discovery, design, demonstrations, technical discussions, and issue resolution. Success will be measured by increased client trust, requests for the Senior Consultant's input on important decisions, and evidence that their contribution strengthens the client's desire to continue or expand its relationship with ***.

Elevate Architecture, Scalability, and Team Performance. Within the first 6 months, look beyond assigned development tasks to identify architectural, scalability, security, maintainability, integration, and delivery implications across the broader solution. Mentor developers through design guidance, code reviews, troubleshooting, and constructive feedback while promoting reusable components and sound engineering practices. Success will be measured by improved solution quality, fewer avoidable technical issues, stronger developer performance, greater reuse, and technical decisions that support longer-term client needs.

Advance Agentic AI and Cross-Platform Solution Capability. Over the first 6–12 months, apply or rapidly develop capabilities in Copilot Studio, agentic AI, Azure, UiPath, and emerging technologies that complement Power Platform solutions. Prior agentic AI experience is valuable but not mandatory when the candidate demonstrates exceptional Power Platform depth and learning agility. Design solutions based on business and architectural fit rather than platform preference.

Success will be measured by effective adoption of emerging capabilities, sound cross-platform decisions, and the ability to guide clients and teams toward scalable automation and AI solutions.
