We're supporting a well-established UK business as they kick off a major Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance implementation, and are looking for an experienced D365 Finance Programme/Project Manager to lead the programme from the client side.

This is a genuine business transformation rather than simply a technology implementation. The organisation has a traditional finance environment and recognises that change management and business adoption will be critical to successfully landing D365.

The role will include:

• Leading the D365 Finance implementation from the client side
• Owning programme governance, Steering Committee engagement and senior stakeholder management
• Managing and challenging the implementation partner against scope, milestones, quality and outcomes
• Driving business readiness, change and adoption across Finance and the wider organisationWorking closely with senior Finance and Technology stakeholders
• Coordinating activity across multiple trading entities and a geographically distributed business
• Ensuring the programme remains focused on business outcomes rather than simply technical delivery

We're looking for someone with:

• Strong experience leading D365 Finance / D365 F&O implementations
• Proven client-side ERP programme or project leadership experience
• Experience managing and challenging major Microsoft implementation partners/SIs
• Strong Finance process understanding across areas such as AP, AR, GL, purchasing and invoicing
• Excellent senior stakeholder and Steering Committee management skills
• A strong track record of business change and adoption
• The confidence to provide structure, challenge and direction in an organisation going through significant change

The business is based in Sussex, and while there is flexibility, this isn't a remote programme. We're looking for someone comfortable being on-site around 3 days per week on average, with additional presence when the programme requires it.
