Project Ignite is a large-scale enterprise transformation program uniting 20 operating companies onto a single Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations and Project Operations platform. We are building a deployment factory designed to roll out several entities per year across a tiered portfolio—and the Director, Project Management Platforms sits at the heart of that engine. We are seeking an accomplished and strategic leader to own the D365 Project Operations workstream end‑to‑end: designing the core template, leading a team of Business Systems Analysts through agile delivery, and scaling the model across a complex, multi‑stakeholder enterprise.

This role sits at the intersection of four distinct stakeholder groups—Sales, Project Management, Field Service, and Accounting—requiring a leader who can navigate competing priorities, drive standardization across a decentralized portfolio, and build durable internal D365 capability that outlasts the PwC System Integrator engagement.

• Serve as a strategic advisor to Sales, Project Management, Field Service, and Finance leadership.
• Support integration of acquired businesses into the deployment factory model.

• Own and develop a team of Business Systems Analysts focused on D365 Project Operations deployment.
• Partner with the F&O BSA Director and Technical Delivery leadership on matrixed resourcing within the deployment factory.
• Lead knowledge transfer from PwC to internal BSA team members, ensuring each deployment cycle builds internal D365 Project Operations capability.

• Lead executive-level stakeholder engagement across Sales, Project Management, Field Service, and Finance, aligning groups with distinct success metrics around a shared platform standard.

• Regular, consistent and necessary to meet the needs of the business.
• Assists the leadership team and other team members with various research projects and/or special projects.
• Performs other duties and responsibilities as assigned.
• Must conduct self in an ethical, legal, and responsible manner at all times.
• Must adhere to the policies, principles, and guidance within the Employee Handbook and Code of Conduct.

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Computer Science or a related field (MBA or Master's preferred).
• 10 years of experience in ERP transformation, D365 implementation, project management platform delivery, or enterprise technology consulting;
  Big 4, Microsoft SI, or D365 partner experience strongly preferred.
• Deep hands‑on expertise with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Project Operations, with direct experience leading or governing at least two full‑cycle implementations.
• Proven experience working across Sales, Project Management, Field Service, and Finance stakeholder groups simultaneously.
• Experience managing or governing a System Integrator relationship in a client-side leadership capacity.
• Highly effective communicator with executive presence and strong facilitation skills.

  Lean Six Sigma or agile delivery credentials also valued.
• Must be proficient in the Microsoft Office Suite, including Outlook, Excel,…
