Microsoft AI Solutions Architect

Microsoft AI Solutions Architect

Modern Work / Power Platform → Microsoft AI

£75,000-£85,000 + £5,000 Car Allowance + Exceptional Benefits

Remote, UK | Full-Time | Leading Microsoft Solutions Partner

You do not need to already be an AI Solutions Architect.

You might currently be working as a Microsoft Solutions Architect, Power Platform Architect, Modern Work Architect or senior Microsoft consultant, helping customers solve complex business and technology challenges.

What matters is that you understand the Microsoft ecosystem, can confidently lead customer conversations and have experience designing solutions that connect technology with real business outcomes.

This is your opportunity to take that experience into one of the fastest-growing areas of the Microsoft market: Copilot, AI agents, intelligent automation and Azure AI.

You will receive the training, certifications and project exposure needed to build deep expertise across Microsoft AI, while taking a leading role in the architecture and delivery of innovative customer solutions.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not an AI research role, and you do not need years of machine-learning or data-science experience.

It is a customer-facing architecture and consulting role for someone who understands Microsoft technology, business processes and how to design practical enterprise solutions.

You will work directly with organisations to identify where AI can create value, define the right architecture and guide solutions from initial discovery through to deployment, governance and adoption.

You will join an established Microsoft Solutions Partner that is investing heavily in its AI capability and building a dedicated practice around Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Studio, Azure AI and agentic solutions.

For an experienced Power Platform or Modern Work professional, this offers a clear route into a senior Microsoft AI position.

What You'll Be Doing

You will lead customer engagements across discovery, architecture, advisory and delivery, including:

• Leading discovery workshops with technical and business stakeholders
• Understanding customer challenges, processes and transformation objectives
• Identifying practical AI, Copilot and automation use cases
• Designing secure, scalable Microsoft AI solution architectures
• Producing solution designs, implementation plans and technical recommendations
• Architecting Copilot agents and intelligent automation solutions
• Connecting Microsoft AI solutions with enterprise systems, APIs and data sources
• Guiding delivery teams through build, testing and deployment
• Advising customers on governance, security, compliance and responsible AI
• Helping organisations develop AI roadmaps and adoption strategies
• Supporting the development of business cases and ROI assessments
• Defining operating models for AI and agent-based solutions
• Delivering technical demonstrations, presentations and enablement sessions
• Mentoring consultants and sharing architectural best practice
• Contributing to reusable frameworks, accelerators and new AI propositions
• Supporting the continued growth of the Microsoft AI practice

Technologies You'll Work With

You will gain hands-on exposure to technologies including:

• Microsoft Copilot Studio
• Microsoft 365 Copilot
• Copilot Chat
• Azure AI Foundry
• Azure AI Services
• Agent Builder and custom agents
• Power Automate
• Power Apps
• Dataverse
• Microsoft Fabric
• Power BI and OneLake
• SharePoint and Microsoft 365
• Generative AI and retrieval-augmented generation
• APIs, connectors and enterprise integrations

Who We're Looking For

We are particularly interested in senior professionals from a Microsoft consulting or partner background who have experience across Power Platform, Modern Work or Microsoft 365.

You could currently be working as a:

• Power Platform Solutions Architect
• Modern Work Solutions Architect
• Microsoft 365 Architect
• Digital Workplace Architect
• Business Applications Architect
• Power Platform Technical Lead

• Senior Power Platform Consultant
• Senior Modern Work Consultant

You do not need to be an AI expert already.

However, you should have:

• Strong experience delivering Microsoft solutions within a consultancy or Microsoft partner
• A background in Power Platform, Modern Work or Microsoft 365
• Experience designing solutions across multiple Microsoft technologies
• The ability to lead customer workshops and technical discovery sessions
• Strong business-process mapping and requirements-gathering experience
• The ability to translate complex business needs into clear technical architectures
• Experience producing solution designs, recommendations and implementation plans
• Confidence engaging senior technical and business stakeholders
• An understanding of governance, security, compliance and enterprise delivery
• Strong written, verbal and presentation skills
• A genuine interest in Microsoft AI, Copilot and agentic technologies
• The motivation to become a recognised specialist in Microsoft AI architecture

Particularly Relevant Experience

Any of the following would be beneficial:

• Power Automate, Power Apps and Dataverse
• SharePoint, Teams and Microsoft 365

• Retrieval-augmented generation
• Microsoft Fabric, Power BI or OneLake
• API, connector and enterprise integration design
• AI governance, security and responsible AI
• Change management, adoption and enablement programmes
• Delivery within secure, regulated or enterprise environments

Relevant Microsoft certifications could include:

• PL-600: Power Platform Solution Architect
• AI-900: Azure AI Fundamentals
• AI-102: Azure AI Engineer Associate
• DP-600: Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate

Certifications are beneficial, but practical consulting, architecture and customer-delivery experience will be equally important.

Location

There will be occasional travel for customer workshops, project delivery and team meetings, typically around once or twice per month.

Architect the Next Generation of Microsoft Solutions

They will be people who already understand Microsoft technology, customer environments, enterprise architecture and how organisations actually operate.

They will know how to take an emerging technology and turn it into a secure, scalable and commercially valuable solution.

That is why your Power Platform or Modern Work background matters.

If you have built a strong career designing and delivering Microsoft solutions and are ready to move into Copilot, Azure AI and intelligent agents, this could define the next stage of your career.
