A greenfield D365 Finance & Operations implementation, with the architecture still to be defined. You'll be the technical authority on the programme: owning the solution blueprint from the first Architecture Design Session, holding the line on "configure, don't customise,"\ and representing the architecture through Microsoft FastTrack governance. Scope spans Finance, Procurement, Asset Management and Project Operations, with integration into Salesforce, Power Platform and Azure.
What you'll do
- Lead Architecture Design Sessions and produce the solution blueprint, following Success by Design
- Own the configuration-vs-customisation calls, and the functional architecture across the modules in scope
- Define the environment strategy, ALM approach and DevOps release pipeline
- Own the integration architecture across Salesforce, Power Platform, Azure and third-party billing and asset systems
- Set the data migration, volume and performance strategy for a net-new go-live, and the security model to segregation‑of-duties standards
- Define the testing strategy, support cutover planning, and act as technical authority at FastTrack touchpoints
What we're looking for
- 10+ years across D365 F&O, including end-to-end greenfield implementations (strong upgrade backgrounds also considered)
- Hands-on Success by Design experience: ADS, Solution Blueprint and FastTrack governance
- A firm grasp of the F&O extensibility model, extension packages, events, chain of command — and the judgement to push back on customisation
- Strong functional depth in Finance (GL, AP/AR, Fixed Assets, Cost Accounting), Procurement, Asset Management (EAM) and Project Operations, plus UK localisation (VAT, MTD)
- Integration design with Data Entities, OData, custom services and Business Events, plus DMF and Dual-write
- The F&O security framework and segregation‑of-duties design
- Working knowledge of Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse) and core Azure services for extending F&O
- Experience leading consultants through a full lifecycle, and owning architecture artefacts end-to-end
Nice to have:
Salesforce or D365 CE/Field Service integration, F&O CI/CD, Power BI and ER reporting design.
Please note this role does fall inside IR35 and requires the flexibility to come to site one day per week to Central London.
