Our accounting, finance, human resources, IT, legal, marketing and facilities management professionals work collaboratively to support Huron’s collective strategies and enable real transformation to produce sustainable business results.

Join our team and create your future.

You've gained valuable technical expertise in the Microsoft AI ecosystem, and now you're ready to be the technical backbone of a growing enablement team. This role owns the technical accuracy of every platform module the US Enablement team produces and is the person Enablement Specialists turn to when a business-unit use case requires architectural judgment.

You will design use-case-specific enablement blueprints, validate training content before it reaches business units, and clearly define where solution design stops and platform engineering begins.

What You'll Own

• M365 Copilot, Copilot Studio (custom agents, topic design, channel deployment), Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI), and the Microsoft AI product roadmap

• Technical accuracy of all US enablement content — every platform module is validated by this role before delivery

• Use case design for business-unit-specific Copilot deployments — translating business scenarios into solution blueprints Enablement Specialists can deliver

• Solution design up to the point where platform engineering begins

What You'll Do

• Serve as the technical backbone of the US Enablement team

• Design use-case-specific enablement blueprints: what to demonstrate, what to teach, what readiness prerequisites exist

• Validate all platform-specific training content for technical accuracy before it reaches business units

• Partner with the Intake Senior Solution Architect to receive solution handoffs and translate them into enablement programs

• Track the Microsoft AI roadmap and brief the Enablement team on what to prepare for six months ahead

• Clearly define where solution design stops and platform engineering begins for every use case

Why This Role Matters

• Elevates enablement from surface-level feature training to genuine use-case capability

• Prevents the Enablement team from being caught flat-footed by business-unit technical questions during delivery

• Creates a documented solution design handoff process between Intake and Enablement, reducing rework and miscommunication

Qualifications

• 5+ years in the Microsoft ecosystem, with experience in both solution design and enablement delivery — ideally at a Microsoft partner firm

• Hands-on Copilot Studio experience: building agents, configuring topics, deploying to channels

• Certifications: PL-200 or PL-400, plus AI-900, MS-900, and PL-900 as a baseline

• Instructional design instinct alongside technical depth — able to design a learning journey, not just deliver a workshop
• Travel Requirements : Flexible living locations, ability to travel up to 25% (as needed for stakeholder engagement)

The estimated base salary for this job is $100,000 - $135,000 USD. The actual salary paid to an individual will vary based on multiple factors, including but not limited to specific skills or certifications, years of experience, market changes, and required travel. This job is also eligible to participate in Huron’s annual incentive compensation program, which reflects Huron’s pay for performance philosophy. Inclusive of annual incentive compensation opportunity, the total estimated compensation range for this job is $115,000 - $155,000 USD.  The job is also eligible to participate in Huron’s benefit plans which include medical, dental and vision coverage and other wellness programs.
