Responsibilities

AI Rollout Delivery: Lead the technical planning and execution for M365 Copilot and GitHub Copilot, including licensing activation, technical onboarding, and training coordination.

Copilot Studio Governance: Plan and coordinate the development of AI agents, managing environment setup, release sequencing (Dev/Test/Prod), and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies.

Compliance & Security Gates: Drive the completion of critical assessments (TRA, PIA, SAR, IAM) and ensure delivery sequencing reflects required risk treatment and governance gates.
