Global Growth – Global BD Agent Suite:
Build the intelligence and behaviour of the Global BD agents on Azure. That means retrieval, prompting, tool use, grounded and cited generation, and structured outputs for document-heavy pitch workflows: multi-hundred-page RFP packs, Excel DTT grids, POAPs, proofing of Word and PowerPoint files, and case studies. Every agent is built on the shared backbone so its components can be reused by the rest of the suite.

Mandatory focus:
Azure AI Search retrieval tuning (vector, hybrid, semantic ranker, chunking); Azure OpenAI; tool/function calling with structured outputs in Foundry Agent Service or Semantic Kernel; source-cited generation with confidence and gap flags; RAG and agent evaluation.

Key Responsibilities:
• Build agent logic for the MVP pitching cluster and later agents: RFP interrogation, first-draft RFP responses, POAP starter, proofing suggestions and DTT grid pre-population.
• Design retrieval on Azure AI Search: chunking strategy, embeddings, hybrid and semantic ranking, metadata filters and ACL-aware filtering,



tuned against a measured evaluation set.
• Implement grounded generation in which every output separates retrieved fact from generated narrative, cites sources and flags missing, stale or contradictory information instead of filling gaps.
• Implement tool / function calling and structured outputs (JSON schemas) so agents can read templates, fill grids, call live CRM or document tools and hand work to the next agent.
• Handle document-heavy I/O by parsing multi-document PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint inputs and producing editable Word, Excel and PowerPoint outputs and tracked-change style suggestions.
• Build reusable components such as template interpreter, glossary and style checker, citation formatter and prompt templates that other agents can share.
• Own evaluation by building golden datasets with BD SMEs and measuring groundedness, relevance, citation accuracy and task completion; iterate prompts and r
