Business Analyst Consultant

Description

The Port of Tacoma is seeking a senior, hands-on Power Platform contractor to analyze business needs, design solutions, develop and configure production-ready capabilities, and support the governed delivery of Microsoft Power Platform solutions. The primary focus is development and solution delivery using Power Apps, Power Automate, Microsoft Dataverse, Power Pages, Power Platform administration/governance capabilities, and Microsoft Copilot Studio. This is not primarily a Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement administration or service-operations role. Experience with Dynamics 365 applications, especially Dynamics 365 Sales and Dynamics 365 Customer Insights - Journeys, is a desirable secondary qualification because selected Power Platform solutions may integrate with, extend, or share Dataverse data with those products. Primary Scope of Work Lead business analysis in a customer environment by facilitating discovery sessions, documenting current and future-state processes, eliciting and validating functional and nonfunctional requirements, defining user stories and acceptance criteria, identifying dependencies and risks, and translating business needs into implementable designs across enterprise applications and platforms, including but not limited to the Power Platform. Design, configure, develop, test, deploy, and support enterprise Power Platform solutions using model-driven apps, canvas apps, Power Automate cloud flows, Dataverse tables and security, Power Pages, connectors, solution packaging, environment variables, connection references, and other appropriate platform capabilities. Design and deliver Copilot Studio solutions that are suitable for production use. Demonstrated experience delivering Copilot Studio solutions into a production environment is required; experimentation, demonstrations, prototypes, training exercises, or sandbox-only pilots do not satisfy this requirement. Apply governed application lifecycle management practices, including managed solutions, source control where applicable, environment strategy, deployment pipelines, release planning, testing, rollback planning, documentation, and promotion across development, test, and production environments. Support Power Platform governance and operational readiness, including Managed Environments, data loss prevention policies, security roles, access design, connector review, monitoring, support handoff, standards, reusable components, and knowledge transfer. Develop and improve reusable solution patterns for portals, workflow automation, forms, templates, notifications, integrations, and other shared business capabilities. Partner directly with Port business customers, product owners, Enterprise Applications staff, security, infrastructure, records, vendors, and other stakeholders throughout discovery, design, delivery, adoption, and support transition.

Strong application lifecycle management experience for Power Platform, including development, test, and production environments; managed solutions; source control where applicable; pipelines or automated deployment; release management; dependency management; and production support transition.
