• Lead Copilot and AI solution design, ensuring responsible AI, compliance, and appropriate use of automation versus AI.
• Define and enforce governance, security, and ALM strategies across enterprise Power Platform environments.
• Design resilient integrations using Power Platform, Azure services, APIs, and custom connectors.
• Guide teams on low‑code and pro‑code extensibility, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards.
• Act as a trusted advisor—leading solution workshops, contributing to delivery planning, and translating business needs into practical technical solutions.

• 5–7 years of experience designing and delivering enterprise solutions using Microsoft Power Platform and M365.
• Proven expertise architecting end‑to‑end Copilot Studio solutions, including orchestration, integrations, environments, and ALM.
• Strong solution architecture background, including leading workshops, producing HLD/LLD artifacts, and supporting delivery planning.
• Hands‑on experience with Power Platform governance, security, and compliance (DLP, identity, access controls, and auditing).
• Solid understanding of enterprise AI risk, privacy, and responsible AI practices for Copilot‑based solutions.
• Ability to balance deep technical execution with advisory engagement for both technical and executive stakeholders.

• Experience designing integrations using Power Automate, APIs, custom connectors, or Azure services.
• Background supporting regulated or compliance‑driven environments.
• Experience defining operational models, monitoring strategies, and post‑go‑live support/runbooks.
