About The Position

We are seeking a Senior AI Governance & Platform Operations Engineer to lead the enablement, governance, and day-to-day operationalization of Microsoft Copilot and Power Platform AI capabilities across the enterprise M365 ecosystem. This role sits at the intersection of AI platform operations, enterprise governance, vendor management, and change enablement. The ideal candidate is a hands-on technologist who can run Copilot and Power Platform at scale while navigating the compliance, licensing, and data-security landscape that accompanies AI adoption in a regulated environment. You will partner with enterprise architects, IT operations, Legal, Risk, Information Security, Procurement, and business stakeholders to ensure Microsoft’s AI tools are deployed securely, governed rigorously, and adopted effectively. The focus is platform operations and governance—not custom AI model development.

Proficiency with Power BI, Power Automate, or comparable tools for building analytics dashboards and lightweight automations
Awareness of eDiscovery and compliance considerations specific to generative AI data
Comfort acting as the senior voice on Copilot, Power Platform, and AI governance topics in cross-functional forums
