XypherAI is seeking an experienced and driven Microsoft Copilot specialist to join our AI Enablement function. This is a senior, group-wide role responsible for designing, deploying, and governing Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Studio, and Power Platform capabilities across our portfolio of cybersecurity and technology businesses - including DigitalXRAID, CyberCrowd, Aristi, and IntaForensics. This role offers the opportunity to shape how AI is adopted at scale across a security-first organisation. We are looking for a hands on professional who combines deep Microsoft 365 AI expertise with the judgement to operate within a robust governance framework - someone equally comfortable building agents in Copilot Studio, configuring Purview sensitivity labels, and delivering training to staff members to ensure that copilot is adopted safely and efficiently.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the design, deployment, and ongoing governance of Microsoft 365 Copilot across the group's tenants and business units
- Build, deploy, and maintain custom agents and automations using Copilot Studio, Power Automate, and the wider Power Platform
- Implement and maintain governance controls including Purview sensitivity labels, DLP policies, SharePoint permissions hygiene, and Entra ID conditional access tied to AI workloads
- Partner with the BU representative network to evaluate AI ideas, define requirements, and translate business problems into secure, governed AI solutions
- Produce clear documentation, runbooks, and adoption materials for both technical teams and non-technical end users
- Deliver structured training and enablement sessions to drive sustained adoption, prompt engineering competency, and responsible use across the group
- Maintain awareness of the Microsoft AI roadmap and provide informed recommendations to the AI governance body
- Contribute to the wider AI Enablement strategy, including alignment with ISO 42001, internal AI policy, and the group's discovery led approach
- Mentor and upskill colleagues across the group on Microsoft AI capabilities, governance principles, and prompt practices
Main Requirements for the Role
- Demonstrable experience deploying Microsoft 365 Copilot in a mid to large enterprise environment, including readiness assessment, permissions remediation, and adoption planning
- Hands on experience building agents in Copilot Studio and automations across the Power Platform (Power Automate, PowerApps)
- Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Purview, sensitivity labels, DLP, and the M365 compliance estate
- Working knowledge of Entra ID, conditional access, and identity based controls as they apply to AI workloads
- Understanding of the GDPR, UK Data Boundary, and DPIA implications of generative AI deployments
- Excellent stakeholder management and the judgement to push back on requests that don't meet security or governance standards
- Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to translate technical capabilities into clear business outcomes for non technical audiences
- Ability to manage multiple workstreams across business units and operate independently with minimal supervision
- Right to work in the UK
Experiences and Skills That Would Also Be Beneficial
- Microsoft certifications such as AB 900 and AB 730
- Exposure to Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, and broader Azure AI services
- Experience working in security-sensitive or regulated environments (cybersecurity, financial services, legal, defence, healthcare)
- Familiarity with ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, or other AI governance frameworks
- Scripting capability (PowerShell, Python) for tenant administration and automation
- Experience designing and delivering structured training or change management programmes for AI tooling
- SC clearance or willingness to undergo vetting
