Microsoft Dynamics Business Central Functional Consultant

Candidate Description

Combining Microsoft Dynamics consulting with substantial commercial and operational leadership experience, the candidate brings a business-first approach to ERP delivery. They work as a Microsoft Dynamics Business Central Functional Consultant at a Cloud Services Provider, collaborating with customers, partners and specialist consultants. Their platform background includes Dynamics AX, Dynamics NAV, Microsoft 365 and Power Platform. Functional coverage includes finance, order to cash, supply chain and payroll, supplemented by hands-on experience in procurement, warehousing, logistics, budgeting and reporting. Their career spans Microsoft partner organisations, cloud services, retail, media and real estate, alongside manufacturing and FMCG domain knowledge. Strong analytical judgement, clear communication and customer focus underpin their approach to business technology.

ERP continuity and practical process improvement are central strengths developed through their leadership at a Manufacturing Company. They helped implement a new ERP system and led the ERP platform for 12 years, extending legacy software and coordinating contractors and vendors. They proposed changes to warehouse picking and packing that reduced errors and improved customer satisfaction. Their contribution to five major catalogues supported sales growth, while their remit expanded into business intelligence, reporting, budgets and operational strategy. Subsequent roles at a Cloud Provider and a Technology Company broadened their exposure to Microsoft Dynamics cloud delivery, partner ecosystems and software business development. Their combined skill set also includes Power Apps, Power Automate, Agile, SureStep and Waterfall methodologies.

An adaptable consultant and business leader, they connect technology decisions with the operational realities of the organisations they support. At a Manufacturing Company, their responsibilities extended from CTO duties into an unofficial COO remit through close collaboration with the managing director. Earlier success at a Computer Retailer included Apple's MVP award in 2002 and coaching sales colleagues across new premises. Founding an Independent Consultancy further developed their advisory approach to digital requirements, security and as-a-service solutions. They bring a collaborative working style shaped by experience across consulting, technology sales, business operations and customer service. This combination positions them to support Business Central engagements with commercial awareness, practical delivery experience and a strong commitment to customer outcomes.
