£500 - £600 Per Day

Yolk Recruitment are currently hiring for a Copilot Implementation Lead to support a client who have invested in Microsoft Copilot.

Now they need someone to actually make it work. IT and Security are solid, the business is excited (and a little confused), and you're the person who can turn Copilot from a shiny new toy into something people actually use.

The Role:

You'll own the rollout from pilot to full adoption.

You'll work with IT, Security, Legal, and business teams to get data ready, run pilots, fix hiccups, and make sure users don't hate it. You'll also be the go-to person for Microsoft and any external partners.

What You'll Do:

Lead pilot phases and rollout across Teams, SharePoint, One Drive, and M365

Work with IT, Security, Legal, and Change to make sure everything is compliant

Sort out messy data, permissions, and collaboration spaces

Drive adoption with training, comms, and practical guidance people will actually follow

Report progress, risks, wins, and facepalm moments to stakeholders

Be the main contact for Microsoft and partners

Who You Are:

You've done M365 rollouts or pilots before, ideally with Copilot or similar AI tools

You can talk to tech, business, and security folks without sounding like a robot

You can take messy info and make it understandable for humans

Pragmatic, hands-on, and not scared of a bit of chaos

Bonus Points If:

You've worked in regulated sectors (utilities, finance, healthcare, public sector)

You know your way around AI governance, privacy, or compliance frameworks

You've successfully rolled out adoption programs before
