Presales Solution Architect – Microsoft 365 & Power Platform

About the role

You'll sit between sales and delivery: shaping customer requirements, designing solutions across SharePoint, Power Platform, Microsoft Purview and Microsoft 365 Copilot, and overseeing implementation, so what was sold is what gets built.

This is a hands-on, customer-facing role suited to someone who can whiteboard an architecture in a workshop, write the proposal that wins the work, and stay close enough to delivery to keep it on track.

Key responsibilities

- Partner with account executives to qualify opportunities and lead technical discovery with customers
- Run requirements workshops with business and IT stakeholders, translating business problems into clear technical requirements
- Author proposals, statements of work, solution designs, effort estimates and responses to RFPs and tenders
- Design end-to-end solutions across SharePoint Online, Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Copilot Studio), Microsoft Purview and Microsoft 365 Copilot
- Architect information management, intranet and document management solutions on SharePoint
- Oversee delivery to ensure solutions are built to the agreed design, scope and quality
- Provide technical leadership and guidance to delivery consultants and developers

Essential skills and experience

- Microsoft 365 solution architecture or senior consulting, with at least 2 years in a presales or customer-facing design role
- Deep hands-on experience designing and implementing SharePoint Online solutions (intranets, document management, information architecture)




- Strong Power Platform experience across Power Apps, Power Automate and Power BI, including governance and environment strategy
- Practical experience with Microsoft Purview: sensitivity labels, DLP, retention, eDiscovery and information protection
- Experience with Microsoft 365 Copilot readiness, deployment or adoption, including permissions and oversharing remediation
- Proven ability to gather customer requirements and turn them into solution designs, estimates and proposals
- Experience overseeing implementation and guiding delivery teams through to go-live
- Robust written skills for proposals, tender responses and design documentation

Desirable

- Experience with Microsoft Fabric or the Azure data platform (Data Factory, Synapse, OneLake, data governance)
- Microsoft certifications such as Power Platform Solution Architect Expert (PL-600), Microsoft 365 Administrator Expert, Information Protection and Compliance Administrator (SC-401) or Fabric Analytics Engineer (DP-600)

About you and what's on offer

You're a consultative architect who enjoys the customer side of the work as much as the technology. You can move easily from a business conversation about risk and productivity to the detail of a Purview label policy or a SharePoint information architecture, and you take ownership of outcomes beyond the sale.

- Competitive salary plus bonus or commission tied to presales success
- Exposure to large-scale Copilot, governance and modern workplace programs
- Certification and training support across the Microsoft stack
- Flexible hybrid working
