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 names in the Microsoft ecosystem, this is a rare opportunity to join at the ground floor of a high-growth D365 initiative.

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

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

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

Early joiners will be positioned for rapid progression into 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 Should You Join?

• 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 strategy.
• Direct Access to Execs: 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, focusing on 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 in Management Consultancy / Big 4 environments.
