Senior Consultant - Power Platform, Copilot Studio & Purview Gove

Proactive Technology Management

Ferndale, MI โ€ข On-site

Contractor

Re-posted 4 days ago


Job description

The role in one sentence

Lead a 90-day engagement that turns a Fortune-class regulated enterprise's unmanaged Power Platform, Copilot Studio, and M365 estate into a governed, classified, observable, ROI-tracked capability - and convert into a PTM full-time hire on successful delivery.ย 

Why this role exists

Proactive Technology Management (PTM) Fusionย hasย committed to a 90-day Power Platform and Copilot Studio governance program for a Fortune-class regulated enterprise client. The engagement runs in two phases:ย 

  • Phase 1 - Discovery & Assess (30 days).ย Inventory and risk-rank the estate (apps, flows, agents, environments, sensitivity-labeled data flows). Map current ALM, identity, Center of Excellence (CoE) Kit, and Microsoft Purview posture against PTM and Microsoft baselines. Quantify Copilot Studio agent exposure and observability gaps. Deliver a prioritized governance backlog with measurable ROI.ย 
  • Phase 2 - Implement & Govern (60 days).ย Stand up theย CoEย Kit, Power Platform DLP and environment strategy, and Purview-aligned classification, labeling, and retention policy. Wire Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) pipelines for both makers and pro-developers. Operationalize Copilot Studio agent governance - authentication, content moderation, audit. Light up an Azure Monitor and Log Analytics observability surface tied to the agreed value metric.ย 
What you'll deliver
  • A risk-ranked inventory of every app, flow, agent, environment,ย sensitivity label, and DLP policyย across the client tenant.ย 
  • A current-state assessment of ALM, identity, Power Platform DLP,ย Microsoft Purview information protection, retention, audit, and Compliance Manager postureย - mapped to PTM and Microsoft reference architectures.ย 
  • A prioritized governance backlog with one-line ROI rationale per item, ready to drive Phase 2 scope confirmation.ย 
  • A deployed and operating Power Platformย CoEย Kit with environment strategy, tenant- and environment-level DLP policies, and connector classification rationale.ย 
  • ALM pipelines (Power Platform Pipelines or ALM Accelerator + GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps)ย servingย both citizen-developer and pro-developer paths.ย 
  • A Purview governance baseline:ย sensitivity label taxonomy with auto-labeling rules, M365 DLP policies covering Exchange / SharePoint / OneDrive / Teams / Endpoint, retention label and policy framework, audit (Standard or Premium) configuration, and Compliance Manager assessment posture.ย 
  • Copilot Studio agent governanceย with authenticated Entra-bound knowledge sources, content controls, audit logging,ย Purview-for-Copilot DSPM-for-AI configuration, and red-team review of high-exposure agents.ย 
  • A live observability surfaceย built onย Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, and Power BIย - including diagnostic settings on Power Platform, KQL workbooks for governance KPIs, alert rules on policy drift, and an executive dashboard reporting against the value metric agreed during Discovery.ย 
  • Solution Architecture Document (SAD), Solution Design Document (SDD), and milestone roadmap authored against PTM templates and reviewed under our Maker-Checker discipline.ย 
Who you are

You can hold a discovery conversation with a Chief Information Officer in the morning, run an Event Storming session with a finance director after lunch, and ship a Dataverse security-role design before dinner. You communicate in plain language to business owners and in precise technical terms to engineers, often in the same meeting.ย 

You believe governance is a value engine, not a brake. You measure success in ROI delivered, not artifacts produced.

Requirements

Power Platform & Copilot Studio (depthย required)ย 
  • 5+ yearsย delivering on Microsoft Power Platform in enterprise or mid-market environments, with at leastย 2 full lifecyclesย ofย CoEย Kit deployment and operation.ย 
  • Deep working knowledge ofย Power Platform ALM: solution layering, managed solutions, environment strategy,ย Power Platform Pipelines or the ALM Accelerator, and integration withย GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.ย 
  • SailPointย -ย Provenย expertiseย with Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) platforms, specificallyย SailPointย ย 
  • Hands-on experience implementing, configuring, and maintaining SailPoint solutions (e.g.,ย IdentityIQ,ย IdentityNow)ย 
  • Dataverseย - security model, table and relationship design, plug-ins, business rules, and auditing.ย 
  • Power Platform DLP policiesย - connector classification, tenant- vs environment-level scoping, endpoint filtering for HTTP and SQL connectors, custom connector handling.ย 
  • Copilot Studioย - agent topic design, knowledge sources, generative answers, plugins and connectors, authentication, content moderation, and audit. You have stood up at least one production-grade agent end-to-end.ย 
Microsoft Purview & M365 governance (depthย required)ย 
  • Microsoft Purview Information Protectionย - sensitivity label taxonomy design, manual labeling,ย auto-labeling policies (client-side and service-side), and label-driven encryption.ย 
  • Microsoft Purview Data Loss Preventionย acrossย Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Endpoint DLP, including policy tuning, incident triage, and integration with Power Platform DLP.ย 
  • Data classificationย using built-in, custom,ย exact-data-match, and trainable classifiers.ย 
  • Retention labels and retention policies, records management, and disposition review.ย 
  • Microsoft Purview Auditย (Standard and Premium), audit log search and export, and integration with downstream SIEM.ย 
  • Microsoft Compliance Managerย - assessmentย selection, improvement actions, and executive reporting.ย 
  • Purview for Copilotย - DSPM for AI configuration, sensitivity-aware grounding,ย promptย and response auditing.ย ย 
Identity & observability (depthย required)ย 
  • Microsoft Entra IDย - app registrations, service principals, conditional access, and howย all ofย the above bind to Power Platform DLP and Purview policies.ย 
  • Azure Monitor and Log Analyticsย - workspace design, diagnostic settings on Power Platform and Dataverse,ย KQL fluency, workbook authoring, alert rules, and action groups.ย 
  • Application Insightsย for component-level telemetry on custom connectors, plug-ins, and Copilot Studio agents.ย 
  • Power BIย dashboards that report a value metric a non-technical executive can act on.ย 
Consulting craft (depthย required)ย 
  • Demonstrated ability to author and presentย architecture artifactsย to a CTO-level audience: C4 diagrams, SADs, SDDs, milestone roadmaps.ย 
  • A discovery toolkit youย actually useย - Lean UX, BPMN, Event Storming, or comparable methods for translating ambiguous client problems into a prioritized backlog with measurable outcomes.ย 
Strongly Preferred
  • Microsoft certifications:ย PL-600 (Power Platform Solution Architect),ย PL-400 (Developer),ย SC-400 (Information Protection & Compliance Administrator),ย SC-300 (Identity & Access Administrator).ย 
  • Experience integrating Power Platform withย Microsoft Fabric, Dataverse long-term retention, or Azure SQL.ย 
  • Microsoft Sentinelย integration for governance signals and audit-log SIEM tier.ย 
  • Familiarity withย Bicep + Azure Developer CLI (azd)ย for any Azure-side resourcesย adjacent toย the Power Platform estate.ย 
  • Priorย delivery inย regulated environmentsย (medical device, life sciences, healthcare, or financial services) and comfort with the documentation discipline that comes with them.ย 
  • Experience as a subcontractor or partner-of-partner - you know how toย representย PTM cleanly inside multi-vendor delivery teams and inside theย endย client's governance forums.ย 
How you work
  • Search before assumptions.ย Youย verify againstย current docs, the client tenant, and runtime evidence before recommending. Confidence without evidence is not a substitute for either.ย 
  • Contracts before code.ย You define the interface - security roles, environment policies, label taxonomy, ALM gates - before anyone builds against it.ย 
  • Validators before delivery.ย Every governance control ships with a test that proves itย worksย and an alert that fires when it stops working.ย 
  • Maker-Checker over solo heroics.ย You welcome a second pair of eyes on every material design decision, and you give the same in return.ย 
  • Plain andย clear language.ย A 12-year-old can follow your milestone narrative. A CTO trusts your architecture. A business owner sees the ROI line.ย 
Engagement details
  • Engagement structure.ย Contract-to-hire. Initial term covers the full 90-day engagement (30 daysย Discovery +ย 60 daysย Implementation). Conversion to PTM Fusion full-time hire on successful delivery and mutual fit.ย 
  • Capacity.ย Thisย postingย is for one full-time-equivalent role. PTM may staff a second practitioner alongside you depending on scope confirmed at the close of Discovery; we are open to candidates interested in either the lead or the partnered configuration.ย 
  • Location.ย Remote, US-based.ย 
  • Compensation.ย Competitive contract rate during the engagement; market-aligned base, performance bonus, and benefits package on conversion. Final termsย commensurateย with experience and certifications.ย 
  • Start.ย Immediate. Discovery kicks off as soon as the right candidate is inย seat.ย
