YOUR ROLE

• Platform operations & administration
  • Day-to-day administration of D365 F&O including security, role management, licensing and environment health
  • Help coordinate the two Microsoft release-wave upgrades each year — scheduling, regression testing with the business, and validation before cutover
  • Monitor environment health
  • Maintain documentation of configurations, integrations and standard operating procedures
• Functional configuration & support
  • Configure and support core modules — finance, procurement, inventory and warehouse, production control and project management
  • Run and triage the support ticket queue
  • Master data governance — helping the business maintain and monitor master data according to established standards
• Project execution
  • Deliver enhancement work from requirements through go-live
  • Gather and document requirements, then confirm them back with the business
  • Work alongside our F&O developer
• Reporting & business intelligence
  • Maintain and extend our existing Power BI reports built on D365 F&O data
  • Build straightforward new reports and dashboards in response to business requests
  • Investigate and resolve reporting discrepancies, working back to the underlying ERP data
• Users & communication
  • Run user training and onboarding as new capabilities go live
  • Provide clear, timely status updates to the program lead and stakeholders
  • Translate business needs into platform terms, and platform behavior into business language

Qualifications and Experience: 

• 3+ years hands-on with D365 F&O in a functional analyst, administrator or support role
• Platform administration experience — security and role management, licensing, environment health, patching and release waves
• Functional configuration and support experience across core modules
• Master data requirements — parts, BOMs, customer, vendor and accounting masters
• A track record of delivering work to deadlines, time estimates, user buy-in and adoption.
• Ticket-queue discipline — efficiently run and triage a support load
• Data Management – understanding of ERP data structure and data entities
• Basic to intermediate Power BI — creates, maintains and extends reports
• Clear user-facing communication — requirements gathering, training and status updates

Preferably with:

• Manufacturing or engineer-to-order industry background
• Light X++ or similar exposure — enough to converse with a developer, not to develop
• Data integration and interface familiarity, particularly ERP-to-BI
• Exposure to CM2, ISO 9001 or other structured quality assurance protocol
• Familiar with Excel Add-ins and VBA
• Familiar with Power Automate

What success looks like – YEAR ONE

• Master data is maintained to standard and trusted by the business
• Users come to you first with D365 questions, and get consistent answers
