We are looking for a D365 Finance & Operations Consultant
Automotive Manufacturing | Stamping & Welding
We are supporting an automotive supplier serving Toyota that is in the middle of a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations implementation. The organization manufactures stamped and welded components and is entering User Acceptance Testing (UAT). They need an experienced D365 F&O consultant to work directly with the business, helping users understand how to operate the system, validate transactions, and establish practical day-to-day processes.
This role is heavily hands-on and user-facing, focused on training, process definition, and bridging the gap between system design and how the plant actually runs.
Key Responsibilities
- Support UAT execution by working with accounting, supply chain, production, and inventory users to validate real-world scenarios
- Train end users on how to properly execute transactions in D365 F&O, not just test scripts
- Translate manufacturing workflows (stamping, welding, WIP, inventory movements) into usable D365 processes
- Identify process gaps or system misunderstandings and help define clear, repeatable procedures
- Assist users in understanding root causes when transactions fail or results do not align with expectations
- Create and document standard operating procedures (SOPs) and user guidance tailored to plant operations
- Act as a liaison between business users and the implementation partner, clarifying requirements and needed adjustments
- Provide go-live readiness support and stabilization assistance as needed
Required Experience
- Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations
- Background supporting manufacturing environments, ideally automotive or Tier-1/Tier-2 suppliers
- Solid understanding of:
- Production and inventory transactions
- Shop-floor manufacturing processes
- Costing, WIP, and material movements
- Experience supporting or leading UAT for ERP implementations
- Ability to train non-technical users and explain system behavior in practical terms
- Comfortable working onsite in a plant environment during critical project phases
Preferred Experience
- Automotive stamping, welding, or metal fabrication experience
- Toyota or OEM supplier environment familiarity
- Prior involvement in ERP go-lives or post-implementation stabilization
- Experience creating user documentation and process maps
