Our accounting, finance, human resources, IT, legal, marketing and facilities management professionals work collaboratively to support Huron’s collective strategies and enable real transformation to produce sustainable business results.
Join our team and create your future.

The multi-faceted role you've been looking for — this position is the technical authority at the front door of Huron's internal AI function. You'll sit alongside the Business Partnership Lead in business-unit discovery conversations, translating raw demand into architecturally sound solution designs before work ever reaches the Enablement team.
You will own the pre-solution assessment framework, the technical handoff process to Enablement, and the judgment calls about where a solution should live — Copilot out of the box, a Copilot Studio custom agent, a Power Platform workflow, or a platform engineering build.

What You'll Own

  • M365 Copilot (licensing tiers, data boundaries, Graph connectors, Copilot Studio), Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, Power BI governance), and the Microsoft AI product roadmap
  • Solution design methodology — translating business-unit problems into architecturally sound designs before work reaches Enablement
  • The pre-solution assessment framework, design documentation standards, and technical handoff process
  • AI governance fundamentals applied at the solution design stage — data residency, sensitivity labels, responsible AI principles

What You'll Do

  • Sit alongside the Business Partnership Lead in business-unit discovery conversations to provide technical depth
  • Design solutions from qualified business-unit demand — writing specs, not just executing them
  • Determine where a solution lives: Copilot out-of-the-box, a Copilot Studio custom agent, a Power Platform workflow, or a platform engineering build
  • Define the technical boundary between Enablement delivery and platform engineering
  • Track the Microsoft AI roadmap and advise business units on what's possible now versus in six months

Why This Role Matters

  • Gives the intake function the technical muscle to qualify complex requests
  • Prevents over-engineering by scoping solutions to actual business need before cost is committed
  • Creates a clean, documented handoff to Enablement, reducing rework and miscommunication downstream
  • Elevates the function's credibility with senior business-unit stakeholders

Qualifications

  • 5+ years in the Microsoft ecosystem, including 2+ years in solution design or enterprise architecture (not pure implementation)
  • Enterprise Copilot deployment experience — real governance decisions, not sandbox proofs of concept
  • Power Platform governance depth — environment strategy, DLP policies, Center of Excellence toolkit
  • Travel Requirements : Flexible living locations, ability to travel up to 25% (as needed for stakeholder engagement)

Preferred Qualifications

  • Background at a Microsoft Gold/Solutions Partner firm, FastTrack alumni experience, or prior Microsoft TAM/ATS experience moving to the customer side

The estimated base salary for this job is $150,000 - $200,000 USD. The actual salary paid to an individual will vary based on multiple factors, including but not limited to specific skills or certifications, years of experience, market changes, and required travel. This job is also eligible to participate in Huron’s annual incentive compensation program, which reflects Huron’s pay for performance philosophy. Inclusive of annual incentive compensation opportunity, the total estimated compensation range for this job is $180,000 - $240,000 USD.  The job is also eligible to participate in Huron’s benefit plans which include medical, dental and vision coverage and other wellness programs.
