About The Position

The Microsoft Power Platform Solution Architect sets the technical direction for our most ambitious Power Platform engagements. You will design, build, and deploy Power Platform solutions for enterprise clients, with Agentic AI agents as a core capability across our delivery portfolio. This is a hands-on architect role with three centres of gravity: solution design, build-and-deploy delivery, and team leadership. You will be the technical authority a client trusts to make the right call, the lead a delivery team looks to for direction, and a voice in shaping how TQA's Microsoft practice scales.

Requirements

• 5+ years of relevant Microsoft Power Platform experience, with at least 3 of those hands-on across Power Automate, Power Apps, and Dataverse.
• 2+ years in a senior, lead, or supervisory role, with a track record of building and mentoring delivery teams.
• Power Platform governance fluency: Managed Environments, CoE Starter Kit, ALM Accelerator, DLP policy design, environment strategy, and the Microsoft Entra ID security model.
• Demonstrable client-facing experience: requirements gathering, solution shaping, technical leadership in front of senior stakeholders.
• Exceptional written and verbal English, with the ability to make complex technical decisions accessible to non-technical audiences.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with sound commercial judgement on trade-offs between technical elegance, time, and cost.

Nice To Haves

• Microsoft Power Platform certifications: PL-200 (Functional Consultant Associate) or PL-400 (Developer Associate), and PL-600 (Solution Architect Expert).
• Microsoft Azure certifications, particularly AZ-204 (Developer Associate), AI-102 (Azure AI Engineer Associate), or AZ-305 (Solutions Architect Expert).
• Azure AI integration experience, particularly Microsoft Foundry Agent Service, Azure OpenAI, AI Search, or AI Builder, for solutions that extend beyond the native Power Platform AI surface.
• Microsoft Fabric experience, particularly OneLake and workloads such as Data Factory, Real-Time Intelligence, and Power BI, for solutions with an enterprise data and analytics dimension.
• Power Pages experience for external-facing portals.
• Experience setting up or operating a Power Platform Centre of Excellence at enterprise scale.
• Presales experience inside a Microsoft Solutions Partner organisation.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end solution design for complex Power Platform engagements, applying the Power Platform Well-Architected framework across all five pillars: Reliability, Security, Operational Excellence, Performance Efficiency, and Experience Optimization.
• Make and defend component choices across Power Apps (canvas, model-driven, Power Pages), Power Automate (cloud and desktop flows), Dataverse, Power BI, and Copilot Studio.
• Define environment strategy, ALM approach, security model, and integration patterns for each engagement.
• Build and maintain TQA reference architectures for recurring Power Platform patterns, so each engagement starts ahead of the curve.
• Architect, build, and deploy production solutions across Power Apps, Power Automate (cloud and desktop flows), Dataverse, Power Pages, and Power BI.
• Design and deploy Copilot Studio agents using generative orchestration, generative actions, knowledge sources, and autonomous triggers, with appropriate guardrails for enterprise use.
• Build secure, scalable integrations with line-of-business systems using custom connectors, Dataverse virtual tables, and the Power Platform connector ecosystem.
• Lead deployment and go-live across development, test, and production environments, with rollback and operational readiness planned in from the start.
• Act as the primary technical point of contact for enterprise clients across North America, translating commercial intent into technical scope.
• Lead discovery sessions, design workshops, and architecture reviews with stakeholders ranging from business sponsors to enterprise architects.
• Communicate complex technical decisions in plain language, with the rationale, trade-offs, and risks visible.
• Supervise and mentor a team of Power Platform consultants and developers, with responsibility for technical quality, code review standards, and individual growth.
• Set and enforce delivery standards across the practice: solution design templates, peer review processes, definition of done.
• Support career development for the team through coaching, certification planning, and exposure to senior client work.
• Support presales engagements: solution shaping, effort estimation, technical proposal writing, and client pitches.
• Contribute to the evolution of TQA's Microsoft and agentic AI offerings, including reusable Power Platform and Copilot Studio reference architectures.
• Champion Power Platform governance, security, and CI/CD practices, including Managed Environments, ALM Accelerator, and DLP policy design.
