About the Role
Our client is a fast-growing Microsoft Partner operating at the forefront of AI enablement and intelligent business transformation.

This is a senior, client-facing leadership role where you will set the technical standards for how Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI and Copilot Studio are delivered across the business, while directly leading the consultants and developers who build them.

- Line-manage and develop a team of Power Platform Consultants and Developers, owning career progression, technical upskilling and delivery quality across the team.
- Architect and govern integration strategy between Power Platform, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and third-party systems via APIs and connectors.
- Set direction on the adoption of Copilot Studio and AI-powered workflows across client engagements, staying ahead of the practice on capability and best practice.
- Own delivery governance, including ALM strategy, environment management and deployment standards, across the wider team.
- Lead pre-sales activity for Power Platform engagements, including solution scoping, technical proposals and client pitches.
- Represent the Power Platform practice in internal leadership discussions, contributing to hiring, delivery frameworks and the wider AI enablement roadmap.
- Own and evolve internal accelerators, reusable component libraries and best-practice frameworks across the practice.
Skills & Experience
- Extensive, demonstrable leadership experience across Power Apps (Canvas and Model-Driven), Power Automate and Power BI, gained within a consultancy or Microsoft Partner environment.
- Proven experience leading or managing a team of Power Platform professionals, including technical mentoring and career development.
- Deep expertise in Dataverse, data modelling, and enterprise-grade Power Platform governance and security.
- Strong track record integrating Power Platform solutions with Microsoft 365, Azure and external systems via REST APIs and custom connectors.
- Significant experience with Copilot Studio or AI Builder, with the credibility to set direction on their use across a practice.
- Strong command of ALM practices, including solution management, environment strategy and deployment pipelines, at a governance level.
- Financial services experience is beneficial, given the client base this role will support.
- Comfortable owning senior client relationships, pre-sales conversations and escalation management across multiple concurrent projects.
- Able to travel to London as required by client engagements, alongside a primarily remote working pattern.
What We're Looking For
- A senior leader who combines strong technical credibility with the ability to manage and grow people.
