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

Required experience

• 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

Desirable experience

• 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

Clearance

• Active SC Clearance required
• Enhanced SC or previously held enhanced SC highly desirable
• DV Clearance beneficial

Additional information

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.
