Lead Technical Architect for D365 ERP

Introduction

Our clients run their finance, supply chain and operations on Microsoft Dynamics 365. When those programmes are large, complex and business-critical, they need a technical leader who understands the platform all the way down to the code, and who can then walk into a boardroom and explain, in plain language, what is happening, what it means for the business and what should happen next. That is exactly the person we are looking for.

Come join us

As Lead Technical Architect in our global ERP Centre of Excellence, you will be Avanade's senior technical authority for Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management. You will shape solutions on our most demanding programmes, step in where clients and teams need the strongest technical judgement, and set the technical direction of the practice at a time when AI is changing both what we build and how we build it. You will also lead our global Platform Community of Practice and be our technical bridge to Microsoft and Accenture.

How you will work

This role supports both solutioning (presales) and delivery. When a strategic programme needs it, you may be assigned to a single project as its lead technical architect for a longer period. However, our preferred way of working is different: your greatest impact comes from working across our whole portfolio as the senior expert our own project teams can rely on. In practice, that means:

• Acting as the go-to technical expert for our project teams across all regions, available for design reviews, second opinions and advice on the hardest technical questions.
• Running technical quality assurance on in-flight programmes, with health checks and reviews at key moments so that risks are spotted and addressed early.
• Stepping in for short, focused engagements to help solve complex problems, from performance and integration issues to data migration and upgrade challenges.
• Leading recovery activities when a programme is in trouble: stabilising the solution, restoring client confidence and handing back a healthy project.
• Overseeing the work of the technical architects on our projects, reviewing their key decisions, coaching them and keeping standards consistent across the practice.
• Shaping the technical solution, estimates and risk position on major pursuits, and leading technical workshops and demonstrations, so that what we sell is what we can deliver.

What you'll do

Own the technical architecture of complex programmes

• Act as design authority for large, multi-country Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management implementations, upgrades and recovery situations, from solution shaping through go-live and hypercare.
• Make, document and defend the key architecture decisions: what stays standard, what is extended, what is integrated, and where AI or low-code is the better answer.
• Guide extension development in X++ and the wider Microsoft toolset, set coding and review standards, and get hands-on in the code when a problem demands it.
• Design data migration approaches that are reliable, repeatable and fully reconcilable, using the Data Management Framework, data entities and supporting Azure services.
• Lead security architecture, including role-based security, segregation of duties...
