Microsoft Copilot + Power Platform Build Specialist

Department: Microsoft

Employment Type: Permanent

Location: Remote, UK

Description

• This role is centred on technical design, development, and delivery of next-generation solutions that transform the future of work in the AI era. The consultant will collaborate with stakeholders at all levels - from heads of business to technical teams - to solution, build, and implement robust AI and automation solutions. The focus is on translating business requirements into engineered use cases and minimum viable products (MVPs), leveraging Microsoft Cloud technologies such as Copilot, Copilot Studio, Power Platform, and Azure AI Foundry.
• A critical aspect of the role is to engineer the path for customers to evolve into “Frontier Firms” - organisations that embed AI and automation at scale to enhance productivity, client value, and operational resilience. This involves moving customers from initial experimentation to the systematic integration of AI agents and assistants into daily operations, supporting construction and delivery against technical roadmaps for phased deployment which increase maturity of AI solutions.
• As part of a compact, agile team and working under the direction of a senior architect/lead consultant, you will be responsible for converting both business and technical requirements into tangible, engineered solutions that deliver measurable value. You will also be expected to continuously expand your technical expertise and pursue relevant certifications.
• The solutions you build will typically utilise established closed or open-source foundational models within the Microsoft ecosystem, with possible integration of advanced techniques such as multi-modal, contextual RAG, fine-tuning, MCP, and other emerging GenAI capabilities. 

What Success looks like:

Customer Satisfaction & Confidence o   Regularly interacting with customers to understand their business challenges, goals, and requirements, and effectively communicating how emerging technical solutions can address their needs.o   Build trust and credibility by leading structured, value-led conversations that help customers explore and understand automation and AI opportunities, including what it means to be a “Frontier Firm”.
Clear Use Case & MVP Definition o   Translate customer ambition into well-defined use cases and MVPs that can be handed over to delivery teams with minimal rework, with a focus on practical, high-impact scenarios (e.g. AI assistants, workflow automation, agent-based solutions).o   Delivers well‑structured demos/PoCs that meet acceptance criteria within agreed sprint timescales, enabling timely customer decisions.
Effective Requirements Capture o   Use structured agile frameworks (e.g. design thinking, PROSCI, etc.) to run ideation sessions and capture business and technical requirements clearly.
Strategic Alignment o   Ensure customer needs are aligned with Microsoft Cloud capabilities and Nasstar’s wider operating model, and help customers chart their own transformation path — recognising there’s no single blueprint for AI adoption.

Proactively follows developments in the ever-evolving Data & AI space. Achieves at least one relevant Microsoft certification per year and actively shares knowledge with the team. 

Key Responsibilities

Ideation Sessions, Requirements Capture and Use Case Definition
Facilitate structured workshops to explore automation and AI opportunities. Work with stakeholders to define business needs, capture requirements, and shape them into actionable use cases. Help customers identify where they are on the “Frontier Firm” journey and what the next steps look like.
Design & Build Solutions
Configure, customise, and deploy AI-powered solutions using Copilot Studio, Power Platform, and related Microsoft technologies, with a particular focus on scenarios that move the customer from experimentation to systematic adoption (e.g. AI assistants, digital agents, workflow automation).
Test, Iterate, and Scale
Conduct solution testing, gather user feedback, and perform iterative enhancements which improve solution functionality, user experience, and drive value realisation. Enable customers and internal teams to extend, maintain, and scale delivered solutions
Engage Stakeholders Across the Business
Build relationships across customer organisations — from senior leadership to technical teams — and ensure alignment throughout the engagement.
Documentation & Knowledge Transfer
Produce clear documentation and provide handover, trainings, and adoption activities to cus
