What's in it for you?

By joining AQA, a leading independent education charity, you actually make a difference in the lives of millions of learners. There are lots of company benefits, including private medical insurance, a fantastic pension (up to 11.5% employer contributions), a 35 hour working week, 25 days annual leave with additional office closure in December and bank holidays on top, the opportunity to join lots of network groups (LGBTQ+, neurodiversity, disAbility, empowering women, wellbeing, ethnic minority and more) an extensive online learning platform, days for volunteering and more.

This role offers you the chance to:

o Design, build and deliver solutions using Dynamics 365, Power Platform and Copilot Studio

o Own a portfolio of change and managing delivery from concept through to release and support

o Work closely with stakeholders to translate business needs into effective, scalable solutions

o Act as technical authority for your solutions, resolving issues and guiding best practice

o Champion system adoption, governance, data quality and continuous improvement

What you'll bring

o Have experience delivering solutions using Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Power Platform

o Knowledge of Canvas Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse and Copilot Studio

o Are confident engaging and influencing a wide range of stakeholders

o A pragmatic, delivery‑focused mindset with a passion for improving processes
