Job Description:

Microsoft D365 Finance Architect

Hybrid (UK / European Travel)

We’re partnered with a leading international Microsoft consultancy that’s launching a brand-new Microsoft Practice across Europe. Backed by a £5m+ project pipeline and led by some of the most 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 now 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 that align with strategic business objectives. You’ll lead solution architecture across complex, multi-country implementations, while also defining best practices, delivery methodologies, and reusable frameworks that elevate the quality of delivery.

Beyond technical leadership, you’ll mentor consultants and help shape the functional capability of the practice. Working closely 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 a unique opportunity to architect the future of a new consulting division.

Early joiners will be positioned for rapid progression into Director and Partner-level roles, with a clear path to influence strategic decisions, lead regional growth, and build out 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-level roles within 12–24 months.
• Elite Team: Work alongside Microsoft MVPs and industry veterans.
• Innovation-Driven: Engage in advisory work, not just delivery—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, with a focus 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 working in Management Consultancy / Big 4 environments.
