Who are we looking for?

The Global IS Team is on the look of a Power Platform Solution Architect to be able to commute to any of our Houston or Irvine offices. The Power Platform Solution Architect is responsible for designing and guiding end-to-end Power Platform solutions that meet business needs while aligning with enterprise architecture and governance. This role works closely with business stakeholders, IT, and platform teams to translate requirements into robust, secure, and scalable solutions. The Architect provides technical leadership, sets design standards, supports makers and developers, and ensures solutions deliver clear business value.

Be part of the dynamic culture! Our workplace thrives on a hybrid model, combining in-office collaboration and flexibility. Join us in the office, three days a week, to contribute, connect, and excel in our vibrant environment.

Working with an energetic and high-performing team, this position offers a variety of work and will see you involved in:

• Design and govern the foundational architecture for Copilot Studio agents and the wider Power Platform estate, including environment strategy, solution lifecycle, Entra ID integration, Purview sensitivity labels, and connector standards.
• Own the technical reference architecture for the Agent Enablement Program (AEP) and translate enterprise governance requirements into platform standards, patterns, and reusable templates.
• Partner with the Infrastructure and Security teams to ensure the agent platform aligns with GHD's infrastructure, Entra ID, and security controls, including identity, data protection, and network boundaries.
• Work alongside the Delivery function to guide the safe transition of agents into production and to shape operational readiness, incident response, and change management within the standards set through AEP.
• Lead the architectural response to Microsoft platform evolution (Copilot Studio, Agent 365, Dataverse, Power Platform) and advise on licensing, capacity, and entitlement decisions under GHD's Frontier Firm partnership.
• Contribute architecture input to PowerApps and Power Automate at enterprise scale, including shared components, connector governance, ALM, and Center of Excellence (CoE) tooling.
• Act as the senior technical authority in cross-functional governance forums, including the Agent Enterprise Program Steering Committee, and provide architecture review and approval for agents built inside and outside AI Foundations.
• Coach Copilot Studio developers, platform administrators, and selected GHD builders on architectural best practice, contributing to capability uplift across the enterprise.

What you will bring to the Team:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
• 8 or more years of experience in enterprise solution architecture, with a minimum of 4 years focused on Microsoft Power Platform and Microsoft 365.
• Demonstrable track record of designing and governing Power Platform environments in a global enterprise (ideally 5,000 plus users), including CoE setup, DLP, and connector governance.
• Hands-on delivery experience with Copilot Studio or earlier Power Virtual Agents, including at least one agent taken to production under enterprise governance.
• Microsoft certifications strongly preferred: PL-600 Power Platform Solution Architect Expert; PL-400 Power Platform Developer or equivalent; SC-401 or AZ-305 are valued.
• Experience working within a regulated or security-conscious enterprise (professional services, engineering, financial services, healthcare, or similar).

Skills & Competencies:

• Deep expertise in Microsoft Power Platform architecture (Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio, Dataverse) at enterprise scale, including environment strategy, ALM, and solution design.
• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and the emerging Agent 365 ecosystem, including agent lifecycle, governance, and extensibility patterns.
• Hands-on understanding of Entra ID (identity, conditional access, service principals), Microsoft Purview (sensitivity labels, DLP, information protection), and Microsoft Fabric as a grounding data layer for agents.
• Proven ability to translate governance and risk requirements into practical platform standards, guardrails, and reference architectures.
• Experience integrating Power Platform solutions with Azure services, REST APIs, and enterprise data platforms, and guiding pro-code teams on hand-off points.
• Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to brief senior stakeholders (CIO, CTO) on architectural trade-offs in plain business language.
• Collaborative operating style, with a track record of influencing across peer IS functions and external partners (Microsoft, systems integrators) without direct line authority.
• Pragmatic, delivery-oriented mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, able to sequence architecture work to unblock delivery rather than gold-plate foundations.
