Cyclotron's AI Transformation Group is hiring a Power Platform & Workload Governance Consultant to build the governed foundation that enterprise AI runs on. This is a hands-on, client-facing delivery role where Power Platform governance is the headline: environment strategy and landing zones, DLP and connector policy, managed environments, CoE Starter Kit, and ALM. Your second strength is platform and workload governance across Microsoft 365 and Azure: collaboration policy, Azure Policy, landing zones, and application governance.

You will also carry enough data, AI, and agent governance knowledge to configure Copilot Studio guardrails and work shoulder to shoulder with our AI and data specialists. The right person has lived inside the Power Platform Admin Center long enough to have informed opinions about it and can turn a governance design into a working, tested configuration.

• Configure environment strategy and landing zones: tiered and functional environments, environment groups, Development to Stage/UAT to Production models, naming, ownership, maker and admin access, and provisioning standards.
• Design and configure classic and advanced DLP policies and connector classification; disable restricted connectors by default and run impact analysis so nothing breaks unintentionally at design time or run time.
• Implement ALM: solution packaging, versioning, environment variables, Power Platform Pipelines and Azure Dev Ops approval flows, and rollback procedures, validated through end-to-end test deployments.
• Deploy, customize, and operationalize the CoE Starter Kit and Copilot Studio Starter Kit; assess environment structure, usage, maker activity, connector risk, licensing blockers, and admin processes.
• Define and apply Entra  group naming standards and security role models across environments, and validate assignments.
• Run environment strategy, DLP, ALM, licensing and capacity, and monitoring workshops with client platform teams.

• Implement Microsoft 365 collaboration governance:
  Teams, SharePoint, and Exchange policy, external sharing, lifecycle, and retention.
• Apply Azure governance: landing zones, Azure Policy enforcement, RBAC, tagging, and cost controls for workloads that extend the Power Platform.
• Govern the pro-code edge of the platform: custom connectors, Logic Apps, Azure Functions, API Management, and secrets handling.

• Configure Copilot Studio governance controls: maker access and publishing models, Copilot Studio-specific DLP, credit consumption caps, and production promotion checkpoints.
• Support agent intake and lifecycle processes, including Service Now or ITSM-based intake, metadata, ownership, and lifecycle states.
• Govern Dataverse security and data ownership, and coordinate with Purview and data governance specialists on labeling and DLP.

• Work directly with client Power Platform administrators and platform owners; explain what each setting does and why it matters.
• Deliver knowledge transfer and operational handoff so client teams can run what we build.
• Contribute to deliverables: environment and governance models, ALM and deployment runbooks, validation summaries, and policy templates.

• 4+ years of enterprise Microsoft platform experience, with 3+ years hands-on in Power Platform administration, governance, or architecture across multiple environments and business units.
• Strong hands‑on experience with Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, and the Power Platform Admin Center…
