Working with an energetic and high-performing team, this position offers a variety of work and will see you involved in:
  • Own day-to-day operations of the Copilot and Power Platform environment that underpins the Agent Enablement Program, including environment health, tenant settings, capacity monitoring, and agent lifecycle management.
  • Administer Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies, connector governance, and environment access controls in line with governance standards set through AEP and GHD's information security policies.
  • Manage Entra ID groups, licensing assignment, and role-based access for Copilot Studio, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Agent 365, and related Power Platform services.
  • Operate the Power Platform Center of Excellence (CoE) toolkit, including tenant-wide visibility, maker inventory, compliance reporting, and agent usage analytics.
  • Partner with Microsoft Purview owners on sensitivity label enforcement, information protection, and compliance across agent touchpoints.
  • Serve as the first point of escalation for platform-level issues raised by makers, delivery teams, and the program manager, driving fast resolution of environment and connector blockers.
  • Maintain documentation of platform configuration, standards, and runbooks, and contribute to the onboarding of new makers and agent developers across GHD.
  • Support audit, risk, and compliance reviews relating to AI agent deployment, providing evidence of controls and attestations as required.


What you will bring to the Team:
  • Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
  • 5 or more years of experience administering Microsoft 365 or Power Platform in an enterprise environment, with at least 2 years focused on Power Platform and Copilot or agent-related workloads.
  • Demonstrable experience operating Power Platform DLP, environment strategy, and connector governance at scale.

  • Exposure to Microsoft Purview administration, Entra ID group, and licensing operations.
  • Experience working within ITIL-aligned service management, including incident, problem, and change processes.

  • Familiarity with Microsoft Purview, information protection, sensitivity labels, and the interplay between Purview and Copilot grounding.
  • Competence with the Power Platform CoE Starter Kit, admin analytics, and tenant-level monitoring tools.
  • Operational discipline: strong ticket hygiene, incident and change management awareness, and a bias toward repeatable, documented operations.
  • Service mindset with the ability to communicate clearly with both technical and business users, and to translate platform constraints into practical guidance for makers.
  • Comfort working in a fast-moving AI product landscape, with the judgment to apply controls proportionate to risk rather than blanket restriction.
