Microsoft Copilot Engineer

AI Agent Builder (Microsoft 365/Copilot)

Hybrid (South UK preferred - Oxfordshire/Birmingham/Newbury corridor)
Competitive Salary
Full-time, Permanent

About the Role

We're hiring an AI Agent Builder to join a growing internal AI capability within a UK-based professional services group.

This is a hands-on, build-focused role where you'll take pre-defined business use cases and turn them into working AI agents using Microsoft 365 and Copilot technologies.

You'll play a key role in accelerating internal AI adoption by delivering practical, high-impact solutions - quickly and efficiently.

What You'll Be Doing

• Build and deploy AI agents within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem (Copilot, SharePoint, Teams, etc.)
• Translate prioritised business use cases into working prototypes and production-ready solutions
• Run short requirements sessions with stakeholders to validate needs
• Rapidly iterate: prototype - feedback - refine - deliver
• Configure data sources, permissions, and agent behaviour within the M365 environment
• Work alongside senior AI builders, taking ownership of internal use case delivery
• Contribute to continuous improvement of internal AI tooling and processes

What This Role Is (and Isn't)

This role is:

• A hands-on builder role focused on delivery
• Fast-paced and practical, with quick turnaround cycles (days to weeks)
• Ideal for someone who enjoys experimenting and building with AI

This role is NOT:

• A training or adoption-focused position
• A heavy business analysis or strategy role
• A highly senior, niche AI specialist position

What We're Looking For

Key Qualities

• A builder mindset - someone who enjoys creating and experimenting
• Naturally curious about AI and uses it beyond just work
• Proactive and self-starting, with a bias toward action
• Strong problem-solving ability and logical thinking

Technical Skills

• Solid understanding of the Microsoft 365 ecosystem (Teams, SharePoint, Outlook, etc.)
• Experience or exposure to Microsoft Copilot or AI tools within M365
• Ability to configure agents, workflows, and data connections
• Understanding of what AI tools can and cannot realistically achieve

Example Use Case

You might be tasked with:

• Automating the creation of a monthly board pack (PowerPoint)
• Integrating multiple data sources into a structured format
• Building a dashboard to track input completion and progress
• Reducing manual effort through intelligent automation

Working Environment

• Collaborative team with dedicated AI capability
• Opportunity to learn directly from experienced AI builders
• Strong emphasis on in-person collaboration (approx. 3 days/week)
• Fast-growing area with real investment in AI

Why Join?

• Work on real-world AI applications, not just concepts
• Build and deploy solutions that have immediate business impact
• Grow your skills in Microsoft Copilot and AI technologies
• Join a team that values curiosity, initiative, and innovation

Summary

This role is perfect for someone early in their AI journey who:
Loves building with AI
Has strong Microsoft 365 foundations
Wants to turn ideas into real working solutions
