• Applying robust governance, testing and deployment processes to ensure solutions are reliable and auditable.
• Collaborating with Data Engineers, Architects and platform teams to integrate AI solutions with Microsoft Fabric and DataHub environments.
• Evaluating different AI approaches and recommending solutions based on business value, scalability and maintainability.
• Monitoring agent performance, user adoption and effectiveness, driving continuous improvement over time.
• Supporting the responsible, secure and sustainable use of AI across the organisation.

What We're Looking For

• We're looking for someone who combines strong technical expertise with excellent stakeholder engagement skills and a genuine enthusiasm for applying AI to real-world business challenges.

You Will Bring

• Experience designing and delivering AI agents, copilots or AI-enabled automation solutions within an enterprise environment.
• Strong knowledge of Microsoft Copilot Studio and the wider Microsoft AI ecosystem.
• Experience gathering requirements, mapping business processes and translating user needs into practical AI solutions.
• Strong solution design capabilities, balancing user experience with security, governance and operational robustness.
• Experience working with enterprise data platforms, ideally Microsoft Fabric and related technologies.
• An understanding of AI governance, permissions management, access controls and operational best practice.
• Experience supporting solutions through testing, release management and support lifecycles.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex AI concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• A collaborative approach and the ability to build effective relationships across technical and business teams.

Qualifications

• Degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
