Driving systems integration across M365, ERP and other platforms
Developing reporting and data visibility to support decision-making
Leading the adoption of automation and AI across the business
Working closely with operational teams to improve how systems are used day-to-dayWhat We're Looking For

Strong hands-on experience with Power Platform (Power Apps / Power Automate)
Solid understanding of the Microsoft 365 ecosystem (SharePoint, Teams, etc.)
Experience building automations and improving business processes
Exposure to AI tools or features (e.g. Copilot, AI Builder, or similar)
A systems mindset - understanding how tools, data and workflows connect
Comfortable taking ownership and working directly with stakeholders
