Accenture offers a unique opportunity for impact and career growth. In AMBG you will be part of a unique joint venture with Microsoft of over 80,000 professionals, 20 times Microsoft Global SI Partner of the Year, and recognised as a leader across categories including AI and Business Applications by analysts including Everest Group, Forrester, and IDC.

We offer our clients a complete partnership at every stage of their transformation journey - from defining strategy through delivery of technology and into managed service or outcome-based offerings.

Microsoft Power Platform is at the forefront of enterprise low-code transformation, enabling organisations to automate processes, build intelligent applications, and unlock insights at scale. This is a high-growth area for the Accenture Microsoft Business Group (AMBG), accelerated by the convergence of Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Power Pages, Copilot Studio, and Dataverse - and the increasing demand for robust, governed, and AI-augmented solutions in complex enterprise environments.

As a Microsoft Power Platform Consultant you will:

• Design and build enterprise-grade solutions across the full Power Platform stack - Power Apps (canvas and model-driven), Power Automate, Power BI, and Power Pages - delivering scalable, performant applications that meet complex client business and technical requirements.
• Develop reusable components, custom connectors, and PCF (Power Apps Component Framework) controls to extend native Power Platform capabilities and maintain a consistent, high-quality user experience across client solutions.
• Architect and implement Dataverse data models, including table design, relationships, business rules, plug-ins, and security roles, ensuring solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with enterprise data governance standards.
• Build and govern integrations between Power Platform and D365, Azure services (API Management, Logic Apps, Azure Functions, Service Bus), and Microsoft 365 services using REST, OData, and custom connector patterns.
• Apply Power Fx expertise across canvas app development, including complex formula authoring, delegation handling, and performance optimisation techniques to deliver responsive, production-grade applications.
• Establish and enforce ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) best practices including source control, solution segmentation, environment strategy, pipeline automation (Azure DevOps / GitHub Actions), and managed solution deployment across development, test, and production environments.
• Implement and maintain Power Platform governance frameworks including Centre of Excellence (CoE) Toolkit configuration, DLP (Data Loss Prevention) policy design, environment provisioning standards, and maker enablement programmes.
• Develop Power BI reports, dashboards, and semantic data models using DAX and Power Query, integrating with Dataverse, Azure Synapse, Microsoft Fabric, and other enterprise data sources to deliver actionable business insights.
• Collaborate with architects, functional consultants, and client stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical designs, participate in solution reviews, and ensure delivery quality throughout the project lifecycle.
• Support junior developers and makers within the team through code reviews, technical guidance, and knowledge sharing, contributing to capability development across the Power Platform practice.

We are looking for the following skills and experience

• Significant demonstrable hands-on experience in Power Platform development experience, with a strong portfolio of enterprise-grade solutions delivered across Power Apps (canvas and model-driven), Power Automate, Power BI, and Power Pages in complex or regulated environments.
• Deep proficiency in Power Fx, including advanced formula design, delegation awareness, and performance optimisation for production canvas applications serving large user bases.
• Proven expertise in Dataverse, including data modelling, plug-in development, business rules, security model design, and solution management - with the ability to architect and maintain robust enterprise data layers.
• Strong experience building PCF (Power Apps Component Framework) controls to extend platform UI capabilities, and developing custom connectors using REST/OData APIs and OpenAPI specifications.
• Solid understanding of REST and OData integration patterns, with hands-on experience connecting Power Platform solutions to D365, Azure (API Management, Logic Apps, Azure Functions, Service Bus), and Microsoft 365 services.
• Experience implementing ALM practices for Power Platform, including environment strategy, solution segmentation, source control (Azure DevOps or GitHub), and CI/CD pipeline configuration using Power Platform Build Tools.
• Practical experience with Power Platform governance frameworks including CoE Toolkit deployment and configuration, DLP policy design, environment provisioning, and maker governance programmes.
• Proficiency in Power BI report and dashboard development, including DAX authoring, Power Query transformations, and connecting to Dataverse, Azure Synapse, or Microsoft Fabric data sources.
• Experience delivering Power Platform solutions in enterprise or regulated industry environments (e.g. Financial Services, Insurance, or Public Sector), with awareness of compliance, data security, and change control requirements.
• Microsoft certifications such as PL-200, PL-400, PL-600, PL-300 are an added advantage.
