ROLE OBJECTIVE / THE TEAM

The Dynamics 365 Business Central Platform Owner will be the dedicated owner and primary administrator of our D365 Business Central (BC) environment. This is a critical hybrid role, combining deep functional/technical administration with the strategic ownership of a Product Owner. You will be responsible for maturing and optimising our BC platform, ensuring it is secure, compliant and efficiently supports the finance function's growth. The right person will have a massive impact by implementing robust system governance, managing the development roadmap, and ensuring that our transactional, reporting, and tax functions fully leverage the system. We are looking for someone eager to grow their knowledge by being involved in wider finance‑related Tech projects, ensuring the finance function evolves with technology at its core.

• Own the Business Central Environment: Serve as the internal System Owner for all BC environments (Dev, Test, Prod), managing system integrity, lifecycle, and health.
• System Governance (ITGC & DevOps): Implement and enforce IT General Controls (ITGC), conform and adopt to enterprise wide change management processes and best‑practice DevOps/Deployment processes to ensure compliant, secure, and controlled releases of configurations and code.
• Configuration & Customisation: Own and execute system configuration changes. Perform minor development/customisation where required (e.g., AL code changes, Power Platform integrations) or closely manage third‑party developers performing this work.
• Security & User Management: Design, implement, and manage the BC security model, user roles, and permissions to meet finance and compliance requirements.
• Third‑Party Management: Manage external consultants and implementation partners, holding them accountable for scope, quality, technical standards, and delivery processes.

Strategy & Product Management

• Product Ownership & Backlog Management: Act as the Product Owner for the BC platform. Own, prioritise, and manage the system backlog, defining and translating business needs into detailed user stories and requirements.
• System Roadmap: Stay up to date with Dynamics 365 Business Central advancements and recommend strategic enhancements to the finance team based on business value.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (Finance, IT, external partners) to gather requirements, manage expectations, and ensure integrated solutions.

Functional & Project Support

• Onboarding and Training: Lead basic setup and training for new users and handle complex user issues.
• New Entity Setup: Set‑up new branch entities, liaise with external consultants on tax and regulatory implications, and manage the associated data migration.
• Strategic Initiatives: Assist in assessing and implementing bolt‑ons, integrations (e.g., with CE/Power Platform), and explore the use of AI to drive automation and efficiency within the finance function.

REQUIRED SKILLS / WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR FROM YOU

• Strong BC Technical & Functional Expertise: Expertise in Dynamics 365 Business Central, including functional configuration, finance modules, and understanding of the technical architecture (environments, extensions, integrations).
• System Governance & DevOps: Proven experience managing IT General Controls (ITGC) and familiarity with robust DevOps/ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) processes for D365 BC deployments.
• Administration/Ownership Focus: Strong experience in system administration, security management, data integrity, and environment ownership.
• Product Management Mindset: Experience owning a backlog, writing detailed user stories, and prioritising work based on business value.
• Financial Expertise: Strong knowledge of financial processes, accounting principles, and experience with multi‑company, multi‑currency, intercompany, and financial reporting within BC.
• Problem Solving: Analytical, structured, and methodical approach with exemplary problem‑solving abilities, particularly in troubleshooting complex BC issues.
• Communication & Management: Must possess strong relationship‑building expertise to engage effectively with business stakeholders, finance teams, and technical resources (especially third‑party consultants).
