Copilot/LLM Prompt Engineer - SC/DV Cleared
Hybrid Working | Secure Government Environment
SC or DV Clearance required
We are supporting a secure government organisation building out its AI and Copilot capability and are looking for a Prompt Engineer with experience across Microsoft Copilot, LLM prompting and low-code/no-code agent delivery.
This is a hands-on role focused on designing, testing and governing prompts and AI agent workflows within Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio and approved AI platforms. The environment is highly regulated and requires a strong focus on AI safety, assurance and controlled implementation rather than experimentation.
The organisation is open to both:
- experienced AI/Prompt Engineering specialists,
- or more junior technical profiles with demonstrable experience working with prompting, M365 Copilot, AI agents or workflow automation.
The team is particularly interested in candidates who can combine:
- prompt engineering capability,
- practical delivery,
- stakeholder engagement,
- and the ability to help non-technical users adopt and safely use AI tooling.
This role will work closely with delivery, product and operational teams to translate business requirements into safe, effective prompt-based solutions that can be managed and owned internally over time.
Key responsibilities- Design, develop and maintain prompts for M365 Copilot and approved LLM platforms
- Build and support low-code/no-code AI agents using Copilot Studio and related tooling
- Create reusable prompt libraries and approved prompt patterns
- Conduct structured prompt testing, regression testing and assurance validation
- Ensure prompts align to AI safety, governance and organisational policy requirements
- Support users in refining requirements and translating them into prompt-driven solutions
- Work closely with delivery and operational teams within Agile environments
- Support skills transfer and internal capability development across AI and prompting practices
- Document testing outcomes, assurance evidence and governance controls
- Experience working with Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Studio or enterprise LLM tooling
- Hands-on prompt engineering capability
- Understanding of AI safety and model behaviour risks
- Experience designing reusable prompts, templates or agent workflows
- Experience with low-code/no-code automation or AI agents
- Strong stakeholder engagement and requirement gathering skills
- Experience operating within regulated, secure or controlled environments
- Understanding of testing and validation approaches for prompts and AI outputs
- M365 Agents/Agent frameworks
- Azure OpenAI/AI Studio
- AI governance or assurance experience
- Prompt libraries/reusable AI workflows
- Agile delivery environments
- Government or public sector experience
- Python, Power Platform or automation exposure
- Experience supporting adoption and user enablement
- Active SC Clearance required
- Enhanced SC or previously held enhanced SC highly desirable
- DV Clearance beneficial
The organisation is actively building long-term AI capability and is particularly interested in individuals who can contribute to knowledge transfer and help establish sustainable internal AI practices over time.
Enhanced SC-cleared candidates with genuine hands-on Copilot and prompt engineering capability are extremely difficult to secure in the current market, so interview slots are likely to move quickly for suitable profiles.
