  • Design customer‑ and employee‑facing solutions that enable omnichannel customer service, digital self‑service, case management, and workforce productivity in complex, high‑volume environments.
  • Apply emerging AI capabilities—including Microsoft Copilot Studio and Azure AI services—to design intelligent, adaptive solutions that enhance decision‑making, automation, and customer experience.
  • Embed Responsible AI and enterprise controls into solution architectures, addressing security, privacy, explainability, bias mitigation, auditability, and regulatory requirements.
  • Develop reusable reference architectures, accelerators, and delivery assets to improve consistency, reduce time‑to‑value, and advance the technical maturity of the practice.
  • Provide architectural oversight across multiple engagements, ensuring solutions meet enterprise standards for scalability, performance, security, integration, and long‑term maintainability.
  • Client Engagement & Enablement

  • Lead executive‑level client engagements, including technical workshops, architecture sessions, and demonstrations that clearly articulate the value of Microsoft AI Business Applications and the Power Platform.
  • Translate complex business and operating‑model challenges into scalable, AI‑enabled solutions, aligning technology decisions to measurable outcomes and long‑term enterprise value.
  • Advise clients on platform strategy, including licensing models, architectural trade‑offs, cost and scalability considerations, and governance approaches such as Centers of Excellence and federated maker models.
  • Guide clients through adoption and operationalization, establishing deployment patterns, lifecycle management practices, and enablement strategies that support sustained platform success.
  • Business Development & Strategic Advisory

  • Shape and support pre‑sales pursuits, designing and delivering compelling demonstrations, proofs‑of‑concept, and technical narratives that build client confidence in Microsoft AI Business Applications and the Power Platform.
  • Contribute to commercial shaping, including proposal development, solution scoping, effort estimation, pricing input, and articulation of value and business cases for AI‑ and automation‑enabled solutions.
  • Identify and advise on opportunities for transformation, automation, and AI adoption within client organizations, connecting business strategy, operating‑model change, and technology enablement.
  • Skills And Attributes For Success

  • Deeep expertise in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, including Customer Service, omnichannel engagement, case management, knowledge management, and customer data models, with experience designing solutions for complex, high‑volume service environments.
  • Strong solution architecture background across CRM platforms, including integration patterns, data management, security models, identity, and extensibility using Dataverse, Azure integration services, and external enterprise systems.
  • Proven experience delivering enterprise‑scale CRM programs in a consulting or systems integrator context, including end‑to‑end ownership of solution design, architecture governance, and technical decision‑making across multiple engagements.
  • Hands‑on experience with the Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages) as a core extension layer for Customer Engagement solutions, enabling workflow automation, self‑service, and tailored user experiences.
  • Experience designing omnichannel customer service solutions, including digital self‑service, agent desktop experiences, workforce enablement, and integration with upstream and downstream systems.
  • Exposure to AI‑enabled CRM capabilities, including Copilot experiences, intelligent automation, and analytics, with an understanding of Responsible AI considerations in customer‑facing solutions.
  • Strong consulting and advisory capability, including stakeholder management at the senior executive level, facilitation of architecture and design workshops, and translation of business needs into scalable CRM solutions.
  • Experience contributing to business development, including solution shaping, demonstrations, proofs‑of‑concept, proposal input, effort estimation, and commercial discussions.
  • Demonstrated leadership and mentoring experience, including coaching architects and developers, setting technical standards, and helping build high‑performing delivery teams.
