**JOB SUMMARY**

The Power Platform has been utilized at Marriott for over nine years without a formal governance structure, allowing all users to freely explore and deploy solutions as needed.

With the platform reaching a higher level of maturity, it has become necessary to establish and enforce comprehensive governance protocols.

To this end, a dedicated team has been assembled, and relevant Epics and Stories have been identified to guide the definition and implementation of platform governance.

The integration of AI technologies within the organization has further underscored the critical need for effective Power Platform governance, particularly since Microsoft AI product development oversight is managed through these governance tools.

As a result, there is a recognized urgency to allocate additional resources to accelerate the rollout and ongoing management of Marriott’s governance framework.
