A core part of your role is ensuring AI solutions are built on strong data, security, and governance foundations, leveraging Microsoft Purview, Entra, and the wider Microsoft security stack.

Where customers are still to migrate and onboard fully to Microsoft 365, you will help with designing and scoping the migration and adoption of key services such as Office 365 Mobility & Security, Endpoint Management (Intune), SharePoint and Entra ID.

• Lead the technical design and architecture of AI and Modern Work solutions across the Microsoft stack, including:
• Microsoft Copilot Studio, Foundry & Power Platform
• Microsoft 365 Modern Work (Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Viva)

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in a pre‑sales, solutions architect, or technical consultancy role within cloud or Microsoft services.
• Strong technical understanding of Microsoft AI and Modern Work capabilities, including:

• Microsoft Purview and information governance
• Ability to design AI solutions that balance productivity, security, compliance, and commercial viability.
• Solid understanding of identity, data, and security considerations in enterprise AI and M365 environments.
