Requirements

• 4+ years of hands-on experience with Dynamics 365 F&O in a consulting role, plus 5+ years in related roles, or equivalent industry experience.
• Expertise across multiple D365 modules.
• Strong presentation, demonstration, and training skills.

• Experience in a consulting or end-user role with D365FO/AX.
• Business requirements analysis skills.
• Certification in at least one key D365FO area (e.g., Manufacturing, Distribution, Trade).

• Willingness to travel for on-site support.
• Experience with Retail, Rental, or Advanced Warehouse functionalities.
• Knowledge of business process mapping and documentation.
• Experience as a Senior Consultant in at least one implementation project.
