#LI-Hybrid

Job Overview :

We are seeking a Finance Transformation leader to lead the finance workstream of our Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365 F&O) implementation while maintaining continuity of our current finance operations. This is a critical role at the intersection of finance, technology, and business operations — responsible for bridging our legacy Great Plains environment and proprietary contracting platform with our future-state ERP architecture.

The right candidate is a hands-on manager who can hold both current-state and future-state simultaneously: ensuring our high-volume transaction processing, contract accounting, claims payments, and commissions operations run without disruption — while actively driving the D365 build to a successful go-live.

Job Responsibilities:

• Own the finance workstream within our active D365 F&O implementation, focused on partnering and collaboration across technology teams including ISVs and contractors to drive design, build, UAT, and cutover.
• Represent finance in all system design decisions and defining when key directional decisions should be reviewed and ratified by Finance leadership — ensuring alignment with system integrator recommendations and ensuring the configurations reflect our operational realities.
• Manage the integration between D365 and our proprietary contracting platform, overseeing data migration strategy, mapping, and validation.
• Maintain implementation risk register; elevate blockers to finance and technology leadership with clear options and recommendations.
• Ensure uninterrupted operation of all finance processes during the migration period — including contract processing, cancellations, claims payments, commissions payouts, and accounting.
• Serve as the primary finance owner for Great Plains until cutover is complete and D365, managing any parallel-run period and ensuring data integrity across systems, including ERP master and metadata management.
• Oversee the integration layer that connects our contracting system and Great Plains, coordinating with IT on any changes or stabilization required during migration.
• Document current-state finance processes and design future-state workflows within D365, identifying opportunities to automate, standardize, and improve.
• Define and own the chart of accounts, financial reporting structure, and period-close process within D365 F&O.
• Post go-live, lead the stabilization and continuous improvement of finance operations on the new platform.
• Act as the primary liaison between Finance, IT, and external implementation partners — translating between business requirements and system capabilities.
• Manage and develop finance operations staff, building capability on D365 ahead of go-live through training and change management activities.
• Report implementation status, risks, and milestones to executive leadership on a regular cadence

The above statements are intended only to describe the general nature of the job and should not be construed as an all-inclusive list of position responsibilities.

Job Requirements:

• 5–8 years of progressive finance experience, with at least 2 years in a management or team lead capacity.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience with Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations and having participated in or led a full-cycle implementation.
• Strong understanding of ERP integration patterns; ability to engage credibly with IT and SI teams on data architecture, middleware, and API connectivity.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) or equivalent mid-market ERP, with experience managing a parallel-run or cutover…
