You will provide the technical architecture, environment strategy, governance, application lifecycle management and integration framework required to safely scale Power Apps, Power Automate and AI agents across the organisation.

You will work closely with Data & Digital, IT, Enterprise Architecture, Azure and Cloud, Information Security, Data Protection, AI Governance and business stakeholders across Cundall.
Responsibilities:
- Own and develop the enterprise architecture for Power Platform and Copilot Studio, including environments, Dataverse, Power Apps, Power Automate, connectors and supporting services
- Define and maintain environment strategies covering personal maker, sandbox, development, test, pilot and production use, including appropriate security boundaries and production segregation
- Administer and govern the Copilot and agent platform, maintaining visibility of ownership, purpose, environment, users, data sources, connectors, authentication, dependencies, usage, cost and review status
- Establish lifecycle controls for apps, flows and agents from experimentation through pilot, production, monitoring, change and retirement
- Define and operate application lifecycle management practices using solutions, source control, deployment pipelines, managed deployments, environment variables, approvals, release records and rollback arrangements
- Design and assure integrations using approved APIs, custom connectors, Dataverse, SharePoint, Microsoft Graph, Azure services and other enterprise systems
- Implement and maintain governance and security controls, including data loss prevention policies, connector classification, permissions, Entra groups, security roles, service identities, secrets management, auditability and external sharing controls
- Work with Information Security, Data Protection, Enterprise Architecture and AI Governance colleagues to translate policy and risk requirements into practical platform guardrails and technical patterns
- Monitor platform health, failures, performance, capacity, licensing and consumption across Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio, Dataverse, AI Builder and relevant Azure services
- Identify and address orphaned, duplicated, unused, unsupported, non-compliant or over-privileged apps, flows, agents and connections
- Support Cundall's Production Gateway with technical assessments, architecture documentation, security evidence, test results, operational ownership, monitoring and support readiness
- Create reusable components, templates, naming conventions, solution patterns and guidance for Explorers, Builders and citizen makers
- Provide hands-on development and troubleshooting for strategic or complex solutions, while coaching colleagues and promoting maintainable delivery
- Maintain inventories, technical standards, runbooks and decision records sufficient for audit, support, handover and service continuity
- Assess emerging Microsoft Copilot, agent and Power Platform capabilities and recommend their controlled adoption where they offer clear value
