Job description

As an ERP Solution Architect within VAT’s Design Authority framework, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring that all Dynamics 365 ERP solutions are robust, consistent, and aligned with architectural and strategic principles. Acting as the bridge between business consulting, technical development, and enterprise architecture, you will validate detailed solution designs, guide project teams, and safeguard system integrity across a growing and complex ERP landscape.

This is a hands‑on architecture role, focusing on delivery excellence, solution validation, and ensuring that every design entering implementation meets VAT’s standards for quality, scalability, and maintainability.

Your responsibilities include, but not limited to:

Design Authority Responsibilities

• Validate solution designs and ensure architectural consistency across modules and projects.
• Conduct detailed design reviews for GAPs, FDDs, and technical specifications before Design Authority approval.
• Identify integration and performance risks early in the design phase and guide mitigation strategies.
• Support the Design Authority in ensuring end‑to‑end solution coherence, especially across Finance, SCM, and Sales.
• Work closely with the Domain Architect ERP to ensure alignment with VAT’s ERP domain architecture and roadmap.
• Adherence to Microsoft’s D365 best practices and upgrade paths.
• System‑critical modifications are designed and implemented with risk awareness.
• Data migration and interface designs follow architectural standards.
• Collaborate with Lead Consultants and Developers to ensure designs are feasible, efficient, and maintainable.

Solution Delivery Responsibilities

• Provide hands‑on architecture support to delivery teams during all project phases (Blueprint, Build, Test, Deploy).
• Define and communicate solution patterns and reusable components to increase delivery efficiency.
• Oversee the technical integrity of ERP solutions and their alignment with the target architecture.
• Support complex problem‑solving, performance optimization, and integration design.
• Ensure compliance with VAT’s ERP governance, documentation, and security standards.
• Act as the quality gate for designs entering the Design Authority approval process.

You must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.

• Minimum 5-8 years of experience in Microsoft D365 ERP solution design and implementation, with deep knowledge across multiple modules (Finance, Supply Chain Management (SCM), and Manufacturing (a full‑spectrum or mixed‑module background)).
• Proven experience as a Solution Architect or Senior Consultant in large‑scale international ERP programs.
• Strong understanding of D365 data models, integrations (Data Management Framework, Dual Write, APIs), and reporting.
• Experience in solution governance, design validation, and architecture documentation.
• Familiarity with Azure integration services, Power Platform, and lifecycle management tools (LCS).
• Excellent problem‑solving skills, and strong delivery orientation.
• Ability to collaborate across functional and technical teams, ensuring alignment between design, build, and deployment.
• Excellent communication skills and fluency in English (both written and verbal).
