Microsoft Fabric & Power BI Solutions Architect

Company & Role
A well established Microsoft Solutions Partner is standing up a brand new Data & Analytics capability and needs an architect-minded consultant to help build it from the ground up. They already have a strong Microsoft footprint, a people-first culture, and serious investment behind this area as a long-term growth bet.
This is a genuinely blended role. You will architect and deliver Fabric and Power BI solutions for customers, lead design and discovery sessions, get hands-on in the build, support pre-sales, and help shape the technical direction of a capability that does not yet have one. It is a build and shape role, not a maintain role, and it suits someone who wants ownership across the full lifecycle rather than sitting in a single lane.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Chance to be the technical anchor of a new capability, setting the standards, patterns, and ways of working across Fabric, Power BI, and the wider data estate
- True mix of architecture, design, hands-on delivery, consultancy, and pre-sales, rather than being pushed towards a single track
- Structured runway into a senior architect and pre-sales remit as the capability scales
- Broad exposure across Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, Power Platform, Copilot, and AI Builder, with room to shape where the practice goes next
- Fully funded training and certifications, with a business that invests in people properly rather than only hiring the finished article
- Customer-facing work, internal innovation, and internal enablement all in one seat, so the work stays varied
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect, design, and deliver Microsoft Data & Analytics solutions for customers, with Microsoft Fabric and Power BI at the core

- Lead customer discovery, workshops, and design sessions, translating business problems into practical, well-architected solutions
- Stay hands-on in the build, setting patterns and reference architectures that the wider team can deliver against

- Experience owning solution design and architecture decisions on customer engagements, not just delivery tickets
- Exposure to Power Platform, ideally Power Apps, Power Automate, and Dataverse, with an appetite to broaden further
