f you love driving technical strategy, owning platforms end-to-end, and working at the intersection of engineering and business — this is a unique opportunity to step into a senior Power Platform leadership role with real impact across the organisation.
We’re looking for a Technical Specialist to take ownership of the Microsoft Power Platform — including Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Dynamics, and Copilot Studio. This is a strategic role that goes beyond delivery: you’ll shape the platform roadmap, build governance frameworks, drive best practices, and enable teams to deliver securely and at scale.
You’ll work across multiple delivery teams and stakeholders, acting as the technical authority for the platform. From setting environment strategies and security controls to optimising licensing, integrating AI, and building strong relationships with Microsoft, this role is all about building something robust and future-proof.
We’re not just after a “Power Platform expert” — we’re after a strong engineer or architect who can think strategically, lead technically, and scale capability across the business. If you have a background in software development (JavaScript, C#, or Python), understand modern cloud engineering (especially Azure), and love solving problems at scale, we’d love to hear from you.
What’s in it for you:
  • Own and shape the Power Platform strategy for the organisation.
  • Work closely with senior stakeholders on impactful projects.
  • Strong work-life balance, flexibility, and support for continuous learning.
  • A chance to step up into a senior strategic role while staying hands-on.
