Senior Solution Architect (Senior Manager)

What You'll Own

• M365 Copilot (licensing tiers, data boundaries, Graph connectors, Copilot Studio), Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, Power BI governance), and the Microsoft AI product roadmap
• Solution design methodology - translating business-unit problems into architecturally sound designs before work reaches Enablement
• The pre-solution assessment framework, design documentation standards, and technical handoff process
• AI governance fundamentals applied at the solution design stage - data residency, sensitivity labels, responsible AI principles

What You'll Do

• Sit alongside the Business Partnership Lead in business-unit discovery conversations to provide technical depth
• Design solutions from qualified business-unit demand - writing specs, not just executing them
• Determine where a solution lives: Copilot out-of-the-box, a Copilot Studio custom agent, a Power Platform workflow, or a platform engineering build
• Define the technical boundary between Enablement delivery and platform engineering
• Track the Microsoft AI roadmap and advise business units on what's possible now versus in six months

Why This Role Matters

• Gives the intake function the technical muscle to qualify complex requests
• Prevents over-engineering by scoping solutions to actual business need before cost is committed
• Creates a clean, documented handoff to Enablement, reducing rework and miscommunication downstream
• Elevates the function's credibility with senior business-unit stakeholders

Qualifications

• 5+ years in the Microsoft ecosystem, including 2+ years in solution design or enterprise architecture (not pure implementation)
• Enterprise Copilot deployment experience - real governance decisions, not sandbox proofs of concept
• Power Platform governance depth - environment strategy, DLP policies, Center of Excellence toolkit
• Travel Requirements: Flexible living locations, ability to travel up to 25% (as needed for stakeholder engagement)

Preferred Qualifications

• Background at a Microsoft Gold/Solutions Partner firm, FastTrack alumni experience, or prior Microsoft TAM/ATS experience moving to the customer side
