We are seeking a highly experienced Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations Consultant to deliver a full end-to-end D365 F&O implementation. This role requires deep functional expertise, strong solution architecture capability, hands‑on configuration experience, and the confidence to work directly with senior stakeholders, finance leaders, and technical teams. The consultant will be responsible for shaping the solution, leading design decisions, configuring the platform, overseeing integrations and data migration, managing testing and cutover, and supporting post‑go‑live stabilisation.

Permanent candidates who want long‑term platform ownership and evolution, and Experienced contractors who specialise in ERP implementations and can drive delivery at pace.
