Job Description

The D365 Solution Architect plays a key role in shaping how we use Microsoft Dynamics 365 across Finance & Operations, Supply Chain, WMS and Azure. They’re responsible for the end‑to‑end design of our solutions, making sure everything hangs together — from functionality and integrations through to data, security and long‑term supportability. This role keeps us aligned with Microsoft’s roadmap, sets clear architectural standards and cuts out unnecessary complexity. The focus is on building solutions that are scalable, reliable and ready for One Version — not just today, but for the long term.

Job Responsibility

  • Set the direction, define clear design standards and make sure solutions are simple, scalable and aligned to Microsoft’s roadmap — with minimal customisation and full One Version readiness

  • Ensure integrations are robust, data flows are reliable and the platform can handle high‑volume, business‑critical workloads
  • Provide architectural oversight across environments, releases, data migration and cutover, making sure the platform is resilient, secure and operationally ready
  • Working closely with delivery teams, enterprise architecture, Microsoft and vendors, you guide decisions, challenge complexity and help build a D365 platform that’s cost‑effective, secure and built to support how AO runs — especially at peak

Requirements

  • Extensive experience architecting D365 F&O, Supply Chain and/or WMS
  • Strong knowledge of Microsoft extensibility framework, integration patterns and data architecture
  • Deep understanding of D365 internals, data entities, dual‑write/CDS/Dataverse and APIs
  • Strong familiarity with Azure services (Logic Apps, API Management, Service Bus, Event Grid, Function Apps)
  • Experience assessing ISVs, AppSource solutions and custom extensions
  • Experience in multi‑vendor, multi‑workstream ERP transformations
  • Strong skills in solution governance, impact assessments and quality gates
  • Experience supporting release readiness, regression strategy and One Version compliance
  • Ability to produce high‑quality architectural documentation and solution diagrams
  • Awareness of DevOps pipelines, environment strategy and testing automation needs
  • Understanding of RBAC, identity patterns, compliance and operational security
  • Experience designing observable, traceable and monitorable enterprise solutions
  • Awareness of cloud cost optimisation and operational SLAs
  • Excellent communicator with strong stakeholder influence
  • Ability to simplify complex architectural decisions
  • Structured, analytical and proactive approach
  • Highly collaborative, working across teams to maintain platform and programme alignment
