- Design user-friendly dashboards and reporting tools using Power BI.
- Collaborate with stakeholders to map out current processes and identify automation opportunities.
- Integrate AI features such as GPT copilots, document summarisation, or language models via Azure OpenAI, Cognitive Services, or Power Platform connectors.
- Use tools like Power Automate Desktop to automate repetitive desktop tasks.
- Work with APIs and light scripting (e.g. PowerShell or Python) to customise automation flows.
- Support governance and documentation of all low-code and AI-enabled assets.
Skills & Experience Required
- Strong hands-on experience with Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI).
- Demonstrable experience or experimentation with AI tools (e.g. GPT, Azure OpenAI, AI Builder, Copilot).
- Understanding of business processes and ability to map them into automation solutions.
- Some experience with APIs, connectors, or scripting tools (PowerShell, Python, etc.).
- Comfortable working with both technical teams and operational users.
- Strong documentation and stakeholder communication skills.
