You will identify priorities, assign tasks, and make the best use of available resources and skill levels within the team, contributing to the project's success. You will build relationships with counterparts in other disciplines across the project, including within the client team, and contribute to the successful management of dependencies between disciplines.

Putting people first & developing others – You’ll manage and coach a number of staff, focusing on performance management and career development, supporting a culture of wellbeing and inclusion, and ensuring team members are managing their workload and stress levels effectively. We want to create a happy, professional, and effective team who enjoy working together and with our clients, with opportunity to grow and develop.

• Expertise in Microsoft Dynamics and Power Platform Products: Proficiency in several of the following products: Sales, Customer Service, Customer Insights, Field Service, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Copilot Studio, and Power BI.
• Familiarity with Related Technologies: Understand the use and benefits of combining related Microsoft products, such as Exchange, SharePoint and Teams, with Dynamics 365 CE and Power Platform, and be able to configure integrations to those products.
• End-to-End Implementation Experience: Experience, especially in larger/more complex projects, of multiple Dynamics 365 CE or Power Platform end-to-end implementations, including requirements analysis, design, configuration, testing, training, data migration, cutover, and reporting.
• Solution Design Influence: Ability to create and influence solution designs with a configuration-first approach, only using customisation where essential to minimise implementation and maintenance risks and costs.
• Demonstration of Out-of-the-Box Functionality: Able to demonstrate out-of-the-box functionality to business and technical stakeholders, illustrating how the product supports core business processes.
• Workflow Design and Implementation: Proficiency in designing and building classic and Power Automate workflows to automate complex tasks.
• Pre-sales support: Experience responding to ITTs, RFPs and RFQs. Able to provide pre-sales support to envision solutions and contribute to supporting sales by defining an approach and fully resourced plan.
• Stakeholder Engagement and Communication: Experience working with stakeholders at all levels in an organisation, including senior and challenging stakeholders, understanding their pain points, eliciting, reviewing, and prioritising requirements using various methods. Also, interviewing stakeholders, shadowing users, delivering discovery workshops, business process mapping, and identifying business benefits. Excellent and effective influencing and communication skills.
  
  

Additional Desirable

• Lead by example through sharing knowledge from previous experiences and providing implementation plans that mitigate risks to deliver a positive outcome.
• Remain calm and professional in high-pressure environments and feel comfortable calling out concerns and seeking advice when needed.
• Be approachable, open to provide guidance, and actively support junior colleagues, helping them to manage their workload effectively, to cope with challenging situations, and to support each other, especially when working remotely or in a client-facing situation.
• Help set clear expectations of standards of behaviour, and speed and quality of delivery that reflect the levels of professionalism and service we expect to provide to our customers, and how we treat each other, encouraging personal growth, achievement and satisfaction.
