Practice Lead – Microsoft Copilot, AI & Power Platform

Up to £110k

One of the UK's fast-growing Microsoft AI enablement consultancies is looking for a Practice Lead to head up a newly established delivery engine for a major enterprise client, built around Copilot, AI and Power Platform-led delivery.

It's a newly created role on a programme-level engagement spanning multiple areas of a large client group, with real scope to shape how delivery works from the ground up - not stepping into something already fixed in place.

Why this role

• Newly created role - the shape of the team and how delivery runs is still to be defined
• Work closely with senior leadership and have real input into decisions
• Clear route to grow further as the practice scales its Copilot, AI and Power Platform capability

What you'll be doing

• Owning end-to-end delivery of Copilot, AI and Power Platform-based solutions: scoping, development oversight, training, adoption, change management and governance
• Managing revenue and utilisation across the delivery team
• Sitting on the client steering committee, owning the senior stakeholder relationship
• Acting as the primary escalation point for delivery issues
• Building, leading and developing a team of AI Consultants and Architects
• Tracking and improving delivery throughput through the use of AI

What we're looking for

• Hands-on background in Copilot and AI-enabled solution delivery, with strong supporting Power Platform experience, within a Microsoft partner or consultancy environment
• Proven experience managing team utilisation and revenue within a Microsoft delivery practice
• Comfortable owning senior client relationships and acting as a trusted advisor
• This could suit someone already at Lead level, or someone at Architect level ready to step up
