• Partner across Procurement, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Commercial, Master Data, Security, Integration, Data, Testing, and Release teams to deliver end-to-end outcomes.
• Produce clear functional designs, process flows, configuration records, test scenarios, training materials, and deployment documentation.
• Plan and support unit testing, system and integration testing, user acceptance testing, cutover, hypercare, and defect resolution.
• Provide expert functional support, perform root-cause analysis, and help prioritise the continuous-improvement backlog.
• Engage stakeholders confidently, communicate design decisions clearly, and support user training and adoption.

What will your bring:

• Strong end-to-end knowledge of D365 Finance, including General Ledger, financial dimensions, posting profiles, AP, AR, Cash and Bank, Fixed Assets, and Project Accounting.
• Experience with multi-entity financial design, intercompany accounting and reconciliation, foreign currency, settlements, and local versus group reporting requirements.
• Working knowledge of inventory accounting, product costing, landed cost and freight accruals, and Finance integration with Procurement, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Commercial processes.
• Experience with payment formats and banking integrations, inbound and outbound payments, bank reconciliation, credit control, prepayments, and other complex payment scenarios.
• Knowledge of tax configuration, D365 localisation capabilities, the D365 tax engine, and tax ISVs such as Avalara.
• Exposure to Finance ISVs and adjacent capabilities such as BlackLine, invoice capture/OCR, workflow approvals, and three-way matching.
• Ability to define functional specifications for reports, interfaces, conversions, extensions, and workflows, and to collaborate effectively with technical teams.
• Practical experience with Azure DevOps and Microsoft Dynamics 365 lifecycle and deployment tooling; Power BI knowledge is an advantage.

Experience and background

• At least 5 years of relevant experience implementing and supporting Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance or earlier Dynamics AX versions, with multiple implementation or rollout cycles.
