Power Platform Lead Consultant

At Nucleo, we are a purpose-driven advisory and technology consulting firm specialising in Enterprise Solutions and Data & AI. We partner with ambitious organisations to deliver transformative projects that create measurable, long-lasting value.

The result: seamless implementation, clear stakeholder alignment, and lasting business impact.

We are seeking a Lead Power Platform Consultant to lead the delivery of a Power Platform governance capability for a large, complex organisation. This is a senior, hands-on consulting role responsible for assessing the current Power Platform estate, defining fit-for-purpose governance and operating model controls, and implementing the agreed approach to enable safe, compliant and scalable low-code delivery.

• Lead a small delivery team (e.g., 1 to 2 consultants/analysts), planning work, assuring quality of outputs, and coordinating delivery across project phases.
• Design an enterprise-ready governance framework covering environment strategy, standards, ALM, lifecycle management, access policies and operational routines.
• Define and implement Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies aligned to data classification and security/compliance requirements (including GDPR considerations).
• Design and stand up a pragmatic Centre of Excellence (CoE) operating model: decision forums, intake/approval workflows, roles/RACI and success metrics.
• Configure and implement governance tooling (including monitoring/reporting and CoE Starter Kit configuration where appropriate).
• Facilitate workshops across IT and business stakeholders, driving decisions and ensuring adoption of agreed controls and standards.
• Deliver maker enablement (training, playbooks, templates) so teams can build quickly within clear guardrails.
• Lead handover to the Enterprise Application Team, including runbooks, cadence, reporting and knowledge transfer.

• Strong stakeholder management and workshop facilitation skills, with the ability to translate technical topics for non-technical audiences.
• Ability to produce clear, usable documentation (standards, runbooks, decision logs, training materials).

• Experience with the Power Platform CoE Starter Kit (installation, configuration, and operationalisation).
• Microsoft certifications such as PL-200, PL-400, PL-600, PL-900 (or equivalent experience).
