• Maintain Dev/Test/Prod separation for Copilot Studio and Foundry
• Configure secure networking, firewalls, and Private Link connectivity
• Ensure only approved connectors and data sources are used in AI workloads

Governance, Monitoring & Operations

• Enforce AI governance standards, guardrails, and design controls
• Monitor platform usage, credit consumption, performance, and drift
• Configure logging, alerting, and telemetry using Azure Monitor and App Insights
• Act as Tier 2/3 support for platform‑level issues and escalations

Connectors, APIs & Automation

• Maintain and govern approved connectors and integrations
• Administer Dataverse environments and permissions
• Support REST, Graph API, and secure credential integrations
• Build Power Automate workflows to reduce manual effort where appropriate

Reporting & Audit Support

• Produce regular reports on:

  • License and credit usage
  • Access reviews
  • Agent usage and KPIs
  • Security exceptions and governance compliance

• Maintain audit trails aligned with Internal Audit standards

What We’re Looking For

Must‑Have Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field
• 3+ years administering Azure, M365, or Power Platform environments
• Hands‑on experience with Copilot Studio, Power Platform, or Dataverse
