The Opportunity
Gravitas are working with a large, forward-thinking organisation investing heavily in enterprise AI enablement across the Microsoft ecosystem.
With foundational licensing already in place (including Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry) and early-stage prototypes underway, they are now looking for a hands-on AI Developer to take ownership of building out capability, standards, and scalable solutions.
This is a unique opportunity for someone who wants to set up and shape the AI function, defining how AI is designed, governed, and deployed across a complex, multi-stakeholder environment.
The Role
You’ll sit within a well-established Microsoft-first IT function responsible for M365, Power Platform, and Dynamics services, and take a leading role in embedding AI across the organisation.
The position blends low-code and pro-code AI development, with a strong focus on real-world deployment rather than experimentation.
Key focus areas include:
- Copilot Studio: building internal copilots, knowledge assistants, and automated workflows
- Azure AI Foundry: developing advanced, Python-based solutions in secure environments
- Creating enterprise-ready AI solutions, not just prototypes
- Establishing governance, guardrails, and best practices from the ground up
