Power Platform Consultant

📍 Hybrid, Teeside

Company & role

A well established Microsoft Solutions Partner is building out a brand new Power Platform capability and needs a consultant to help shape it from the ground up. They already have a strong Microsoft footprint, a people centric culture, and serious investment behind this area as a long term growth bet.

The role is deliberately varied. You will build solutions for customers, drive internal innovation projects, help cross train existing engineers into Power Platform, and grow into pre sales and solutions architecture over time. It is a build and shape role, not a maintain role.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Joining as the capability is being built out, with real influence on direction, standards and ways of working
• Clear development path into pre sales and solutions architecture with structured support to get there
• Broad tech exposure across Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, Fabric, Copilot and AI Builder, with room to upskill in the areas you have not touched yet
• Mix of customer delivery, internal innovation and internal enablement, so the work stays interesting
• Fully funded training and certifications, with a business that genuinely invests in people rather than only hiring the finished article

Key Responsibilities

• Design and deliver Power Platform solutions for customers across Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse and Power BI
• Build innovative in house solutions that showcase what is possible with Power Platform, Copilot and AI Builder
• Help internal developers and engineers cross train into Power Platform, raising capability across the wider team
• Run customer workshops and discovery sessions, turning business problems into practical Microsoft solutions
• Support pre sales activity including scoping, demos and proposals, with a clear runway to grow into a senior pre sales and architecture remit
• Promote best practice around governance, security, licensing, environment strategy and solution lifecycle management
• Stay close to the Microsoft roadmap across Power Platform, Fabric, Copilot and AI, and bring that thinking back into the business

Ideal Experience

• Hands on experience designing and delivering Power Platform solutions, including Power Apps, Power Automate and Dataverse
• Solid wider Microsoft stack exposure across Microsoft 365 and Azure
• Working knowledge of Power BI, with exposure to Microsoft Fabric and modern data platforms a strong plus
• Awareness of Copilot and AI Builder, and a genuine interest in pushing AI led solutions further
• Comfortable running workshops and presenting to both technical and non technical audiences
• Some pre sales or consulting exposure is useful, but the appetite to grow into that side matters more
• Good understanding of governance, security and best practice within Microsoft environments
• Genuine passion for Power Platform and the wider Microsoft ecosystem
