We are seeking a Lead Power Platform Consultant to lead the delivery of a Power Platform governance capability for a large, complex organisation.

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.

• 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.
