Power Platform Architect

About the role

Clients trust you to provide solutions to problems because you understand what they need - and how to do it. You are your client's advocate and the authority on how specific systems, applications, or process designs can move their business forward. You will collaborate with project teams in customizing, developing, integrating, and extending PowerApps, custom Copilot, and Power Platform to meet client needs. Working with technology and design teams to support your clients, you will identify challenges on the horizon and support constant improvement.
