We are looking for a Power Platform Citizen Developer Lead who will build and run a sustainable, governed Power Platform maker ecosystem that lets business teams safely create their own solutions while staying within enterprise guardrails
The role combines hands-on platform engineering with strategic enablement: designing the environment and governance foundation, defining the citizen-developer operating model, and growing an active, value-driven maker community
Success means more business value delivered by makers – with controlled cost, security, and quality
Key responsibilities:
Technical Setup & Platform Foundation
- Define and own the environment strategy (dev/test/prod separation, default vs. managed environments, environment request and provisioning process) for Power Apps, Power Automate, and Copilot Studio
- Establish the consumption and billing / FinOps model – license/pay-as-you-go models, capacity allocation, cost attribution to business units, and budget monitoring
- Manage access and training – role-based access, and the learning paths that qualify business users to build
- Configure platform tenant settings, connectors, and data loss prevention (DLP) policies as the technical backbone of the program
Governance & Guardrails
- Set clear, documented guardrails for citizen developers – what they can build, with which data and connectors, and where IT involvement is required
- Stand up monitoring and alerting across environments to track usage, risky patterns, orphaned apps, and policy violations
- Define and operate an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) process – source control, solution promotion, versioning, and decommissioning – so maker-built solutions remain supportable and auditable
- Balance enablement with control: keep the platform open enough to drive adoption while protecting against shadow IT, data exposure, and unmanaged sprawl
Adoption & Community Enablement
- Define and segment the maker population (casual makers, business champions, pro-dev partners) and the onboarding journey for each.
- Design onboarding journeys that move a new maker from “interested” to “productive and governed” with minimal friction.
- Build and curate reusable components, templates, and reference solutions that accelerate value-focused development and reduce duplicate effort
Cross-Functional Alignment
- Ensure all technical and governance setups are aligned with Enterprise Architecture, IT Security, and Legal – embedding their requirements into environment design, DLP, and the ALM process rather than retrofitting them.
- Act as the bridge between business demand and IT standards, translating governance requirements into practical guidance makers can follow
Requirements
- Both hands-on technical experience and strategic experience standing up maker enablement in enterprise organisations (this is non-negotiable for the role)
- Deep practical knowledge of Power Apps, Power Automate, and Copilot Studio, including environment management, connectors, and DLP
- Demonstrated experience designing governance, ALM, and FinOps models for low-code platforms at scale.
- Track record building and growing maker / citizen-developer communities and onboarding programs.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration with architecture, security, and legal stakeholders.
Competencies:
- platform engineering
- governance design
- community building
- finOps/cost management
- stakeholder management
- ability to balance openness with control

- Remote job, 100%
