A global financial institution is seeking a Vice President of Power Platform Engineering to lead the design, development, and optimization of enterprise-wide Power Platform solutions. This role sits at the intersection of technology and business transformation—perfect for an engineer who can blend hands-on technical mastery with a strategic mindset.

You’ll drive innovation across Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power BI—building secure, scalable systems that integrate seamlessly with Microsoft and third-party ecosystems. This is a chance to take ownership of a platform that directly impacts efficiency, automation, and insight generation across the organization.

What You’ll Do

  • Architect and develop robust applications using Power Apps and Dataverse, integrating with SharePoint, Azure, SQL, and external APIs.

  • Build automated workflows in Power Automate to streamline business processes and improve operational speed.

  • Design data models, entities, and relationships that ensure clean, scalable data management.

  • Integrate Power Platform with Office 365, Azure Functions, and other enterprise systems for full-stack connectivity.

  • Develop interactive dashboards and reports in Power BI, providing stakeholders with actionable insights.

  • Partner with business users to understand pain points, define requirements, and deliver tailor-made, elegant solutions.

  • Maintain and monitor application performance, ensuring high availability, cost efficiency, and data integrity.

  • Manage platform governance—clean up unused apps, archive redundant data, and optimize cost.

  • Participate in Agile sprints, collaborating closely with PMs, analysts, and fellow developers to ensure timely and high-quality delivery.

  • Oversee automation of testing, deployment, and documentation, enforcing SDLC best practices.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience with the Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Power Pages).

  • Proven record building custom applications, workflows, and data-driven reports in complex enterprise environments.

  • Strong knowledge of integration architecture across Microsoft and external systems (Azure, Salesforce, APIs, etc.).

  • Familiarity with Azure Functions, DevOps pipelines, SQL, and Python a plus.

  • Excellent communication, problem-solving, and project leadership skills—able to balance technical depth with business awareness.

  • A builder’s mindset: you don’t just solve problems—you streamline, automate, and elevate how things get done.

Why It’s Worth a Conversation

  • Leadership opportunity in a high-impact, high-visibility technology function.

  • Build next-gen tools that redefine automation, analytics, and workflow across the enterprise.

  • Join a forward-thinking engineering culture that values autonomy, innovation, and delivery.

  • Competitive compensation, growth potential, and a platform that truly scales.
