Microsoft D365 Finance Architect

Hybrid (UK / European Travel)

We’re partnered with a leading international Microsoft consultancy that’s launching a new Microsoft Practice across Europe. Backed by a £5m+ project pipeline and led by respected Microsoft experts, this is a unique opportunity to join at the start of a high-growth D365 initiative.

We’re hiring D365 Finance Architects to define the blueprint for success—technically, strategically, and culturally.

You’ll go beyond traditional consulting—playing a key role in designing enterprise-scale D365 Finance solutions aligned with business goals. You’ll lead solution architecture across complex, multi-country projects, and develop best practices, delivery methodologies, and reusable frameworks to improve quality.

Beyond technical leadership, you’ll mentor consultants and shape the practice’s capabilities. Working with senior stakeholders across Europe, you’ll drive digital transformation and ensure technology aligns with business strategies. This is more than delivery—it’s an opportunity to shape the future of a new consulting division.

Early joiners will have opportunities for rapid progression to Director and Partner roles, with a clear path to influence strategic decisions, lead regional growth, and build specialist teams. You’ll be part of a leadership succession plan that rewards impact, innovation, and initiative.

Why Join Us?

• Strategic Influence: Help shape the direction of a new D365 practice from day one.
• Leadership Pathway: Fast-track to Director or Partner roles within 12–24 months.
• Elite Team: Work alongside Microsoft MVPs and industry veterans.
• Innovation-Driven: Engage in advisory work, contribute to IP, methodology, and go-to-market strategies.
• Access to Executives: Collaborate with VP, MD, and C-level leaders in an open, transparent culture.

What We’re Looking For

• Deep expertise in Microsoft D365 F&SCM – Finance, especially architecture and solution design.
• Proven experience leading end-to-end enterprise implementations.
• Strong knowledge of core Finance modules (GL, AP, AR, PL) and their integration points.
• Ability to translate business requirements into scalable, future-proof solutions.
• Experience working in Management Consultancy / Big 4 environments.
