The opportunity

We are mid-way through implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 and we need an owner for it on the Finance side — through go-live and, critically, after it. Reporting directly to the CFO, this role is accountable for making D365 the backbone of how Finance operates: configured correctly, adopted fully, continuously improved, and extended to each acquired business as we grow.

This is a hybrid of finance process knowledge, systems depth and project leadership. You will lead the finance workstream of the implementation, own the platform afterward, bring each acquisition onto it, and keep us current on what the platform — and the AI tooling emerging around it — can do. You will work closely with IT, which owns the infrastructure and data connections, and with our Director of Data Analytics on reporting.

The role grows with the footprint: more modules, more entities, more automation.

What you'll do Dynamics 365 implementation and ownership
• Lead the finance and accounting workstream of the D365 implementation: requirements, design decisions, configuration, testing, data migration validation, cutover and training, working alongside IT and our implementation partner.
• After go-live, own the platform for Finance: enhancements, release management, security roles, the support model and issue resolution.
• Drive adoption — the system only pays off if close, consolidation, AP, AR and inventory processes actually run in it.

Module expansion and staying best in class
• Evaluate, recommend and integrate additional modules and ISV solutions as the business matures: fixed assets, expense, close management, consolidation, planning.
• Stay current on the Microsoft roadmap and partner ecosystem; bring forward what is worth adopting and what is not.

Reporting and data partnership
• Ensure finance reports and the data behind them are right at go-live: define what Finance needs, validate outputs, and own the reporting requirements from the Finance side.
• Partner with the Director of Data Analytics on the finance reporting layer and with IT on integrations and data connections;
Finance defines, IT and Analytics build.
• Own master data standards for Finance across entities and brands: chart of accounts, dimensions, vendors, customers and items.

AI and workflow automation
• Identify and pilot AI-enabled workflow improvements across Finance:
Copilot and agent-based tools, invoice and document processing, reconciliation automation, Power Platform and RPA.
• Scale what works into standard process; retire what does not.

Acquisition onboarding
• Build and run a repeatable playbook for bringing acquired companies onto D365 — chart-of-accounts mapping, data conversion, training and cutover — as we grow.
• Partner with the Accounting Manager and corporate development on integration timelines and sequencing.

Vendor and partner management
• Manage the implementation partner, ISV vendors and finance-side licensing; hold them to scope, timeline and service levels.
