Dynamics 365 FinOps Functional Lead

Candidate Description

With more than two decades in enterprise resource planning and over nine years dedicated to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, this professional blends deep functional expertise with broad industry exposure spanning government, financial services, utilities, retail and telecommunications. They are highly skilled in full-lifecycle ERP delivery covering procurement and sourcing, core finance, inventory, warehousing and product information management while driving business-led transformation and process optimisation for organisations such as a Major Retailer, a Water Management Company, a Financial Institution and a Technology Company. Analytical by nature, they excel at fit-gap analysis, documentation and stakeholder engagement, ensuring every solution aligns tightly with organisational goals.

Their technical acumen is demonstrated through hands-on configuration of D365/AX modules, data migration strategy execution, Azure DevOps-driven work management and third-party integration design. Adept at SDLC and PRINCE2 methodologies, they have orchestrated smooth migrations from legacy platforms, stabilised complex customised environments and reduced post-go-live defects by instituting robust testing and training regimes. Significant achievements include leading the multi-country migration of a Major Retailer's subsidiary ledgers to D365 F&O, delivering Peoplesoft upgrades for local government councils, and elevating SLA compliance at a Government Agency to 99 %.

Complementing their technical skill set, they provide leadership as a functional lead and project manager, mentoring cross-cultural teams and fostering collaborative delivery environments. Their adaptability is evidenced by successful engagements across consulting firms, public sector agencies and blue-chip enterprises, consistently meeting stringent timelines and budgets. Combining strategic insight, hands-on configuration and strong communication, this individual offers employers a reliable partner for complex ERP transformations and ongoing optimisation initiatives.
