Enterprise Architect Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM & Power Platform

Our Story Bearing Point  is an independent management and technology consultancy with European roots and a global reach. We combine industry insight, business transformation and technology delivery to help clients address complex strategic and operational challenges.

Our Microsoft practice supports organisations moving to and scaling Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Azure, Microsoft 365 and AI-enabled capabilities. The Enterprise Architect plays a central role in ensuring those investments form part of a coherent, secure and sustainable enterprise landscape.

This role offers the opportunity to shape enterprise transformation at a senior level while working in a collaborative, entrepreneurial consulting environment. You will combine the reach of an established international consultancy with the influence and visibility of a growing Microsoft practice.

The Opportunity We are seeking an experienced Technical Enterprise Architect to provide architectural leadership across complex transformation programmes involving Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM, Power Platform and wider enterprise application landscapes.

The successful candidate will define target architectures, guide strategic technology choices, establish governance, and ensure that business applications, data, integration, security and cloud services operate as a coherent whole. Awareness of non-Microsoft platforms is important because recommendations must reflect client outcomes and the existing estate rather than default to a single vendor.

Role Summary The Enterprise Architect will provide the architectural backbone for major programmes, aligning business strategy with application, data, integration, security and infrastructure decisions. The role is the senior bridge between programme sponsors, business stakeholders, internal technology functions, delivery teams and systems integration partners.

The architect will own the overarching blueprint and roadmap, lead design authority, manage architectural risk and technical debt, and assure that solution choices remain scalable, supportable and aligned with long-term enterprise objectives.
