Business Analyst/Power Platform

TEKsystems•Tacoma, WA

1d•$68 - $77•Hybrid

About The Position

The Port of Tacoma is seeking a senior, hands-on Power Platform contractor to analyze business needs; design, develop, configure, test, deploy, and support production-ready Microsoft Power Platform solutions; and support their governed delivery. The role focuses on Power Apps, Power Automate, Microsoft Dataverse, Power Pages, Power Platform administration and governance, and Microsoft Copilot Studio. Dynamics 365 experience—particularly Sales and Customer Insights - Journeys—is a desirable secondary qualification for solutions that integrate with or extend those products; this is not primarily a Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement administration or service-operations role. The contractor will lead business analysis with customer stakeholders, documenting current and future-state processes and translating validated requirements into implementable designs. They will deliver Copilot Studio solutions for production use and apply application lifecycle management practices across development, test, and production environments. The role also supports governance, security, operational readiness, reusable solution patterns, adoption, support transition, and knowledge transfer. This is a contract position based in Tacoma, Washington, with a hybrid workplace. The listed pay range is $68.00–$77.00 per hour. Benefits may be available subject to eligibility, job classification, length of employment, and applicable plan terms.

At least five years of progressively responsible experience delivering business applications or automation solutions, with substantial recent hands-on Microsoft Power Platform development.
Hands-on development experience with Power Apps, Power Automate, Microsoft Dataverse, Power Pages, connectors, security roles, solution packaging, environment variables, connection references, and governed deployment practices.
Personally designed, built, tested, deployed, and supported one or more Copilot Studio solutions in a production environment; proofs of concept, demonstrations, labs, prototypes, and nonproduction pilots alone are insufficient.
Business analysis experience in a customer environment, including direct facilitation with business stakeholders, requirements elicitation and validation, process analysis, user stories and acceptance criteria, backlog refinement, solution options, user acceptance testing, and translation between business and technical teams.

Experience designing secure Dataverse solutions, including table and relationship design, role-based security, teams, business units where applicable, field security, data quality, duplicate management, auditing, and least-privilege access.
Experience with Power Platform governance and enterprise controls, including environment strategy, Managed Environments, data loss prevention policies, connector governance, capacity or licensing awareness, monitoring, solution ownership, and supportability.
