Job Description We are looking for an Applications Specialist with strong expertise in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations to join our global IT team. Depending on your background and experience, this role could be filled at a specialist or senior specialist level. You will be a key contributor to Permobil's ongoing D365 ERP rollout program — bridging functional finance processes with technical system capabilities, supporting our live environments, and helping shape how we scale the platform across regions.
The ideal candidate has a genuine accounting background — you understand finance from the inside, having worked in or closely with accounting teams before stepping into a systems-focused role over the past few years. You are comfortable sitting between the business and the platform, translating what finance teams actually need into D365 solutions that work.
Key Responsibilities:
• Act as a subject matter expert for D365 F&O Finance modules (GL, AR, AP, FA, budgeting, cash & bank management)
• Support and maintain live D365 environments — managing incidents, change requests, and root cause analysis
• Contribute to ERP rollout programs: fit-gap workshops, configuration, testing, cutover, and hypercare
• Collaborate with finance business stakeholders to translate requirements into system solutions
• Support data migration and integration activities related to finance processes
• Create and maintain functional documentation, process guides, and training materials
• Serve as a bridge between the business and technical/developer teams
• Provide mentorship and knowledge transfer within the IT team on D365 Finance topics
