We are seeking a Lead Power Platform Consultant to lead the delivery of a Power Platform governance capability for a large, complex organisation. This is a senior, hands-on consulting role responsible for assessing the current Power Platform estate, defining fit-for-purpose governance and operating model controls, and implementing the agreed approach to enable safe, compliant and scalable low-code delivery.
What you will do
- Lead discovery of the current Power Platform tenant (apps, flows, environments, connectors, makers/owners, usage) and produce a clear inventory and risk/criticality view.
- Lead a small delivery team (e.g., 1 to 2 consultants/analysts), planning work, assuring quality of outputs, and coordinating delivery across project phases.
- Design an enterprise-ready governance framework covering environment strategy, standards, ALM, lifecycle management, access policies and operational routines.
- Define and implement Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies aligned to data classification and security/compliance requirements (including GDPR considerations).
- Design and stand up a pragmatic Centre of Excellence (CoE) operating model: decision forums, intake/approval workflows, roles/RACI and success metrics.
- Configure and implement governance tooling (including monitoring/reporting and CoE Starter Kit configuration where appropriate).
- Facilitate workshops across IT and business stakeholders, driving decisions and ensuring adoption of agreed controls and standards.
- Deliver maker enablement (training, playbooks, templates) so teams can build quickly within clear guardrails.
- Lead handover to the Enterprise Application Team, including runbooks, cadence, reporting and knowledge transfer.
What we are looking for
- Proven experience leading Power Platform governance engagements in medium-to-large organisations (or similarly regulated/complex environments).
- Experience leading a small team and taking accountability for planning, quality assurance, and on-time delivery.
- Strong hands-on capability across Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse and Power Platform administration.
- Demonstrable experience designing and implementing DLP policies, environment strategies and access models.
- Experience defining ALM approaches for low-code (solutions, release management, source control guidance and promotion to production).
- Strong stakeholder management and workshop facilitation skills, with the ability to translate technical topics for non-technical audiences.
- Ability to produce clear, usable documentation (standards, runbooks, decision logs, training materials).
Nice to have
- Experience with the Power Platform CoE Starter Kit (installation, configuration, and operationalisation).
- Microsoft certifications such as PL-200, PL-400, PL-600, PL-900 (or equivalent experience).
- Experience working with enterprise security/compliance functions (e.g., data protection, cyber security) and audit-ready controls.
- Experience enabling citizen development communities of practice and adoption programmes.
