D365 F&O Solution Architect

D365 F&O Solution Architect - Contract (Europe/Hybrid)

I'm working with a client delivering a greenfield D365 Finance global template programme across Europe.

They're looking to bring in a Senior Solution Architect to lead the discovery and design phase, setting the global template and architectural direction.

The role

This is a finance-led Solution Architect role focused on shaping the solution and setting direction - not hands-on technical delivery.

You will be responsible for

• Leading design discussions with CFO / senior finance stakeholders
• Defining the global template, architecture, and design principles (OTB-first)
• Setting COA, dimensions, intercompany and multi-entity structures
• Establishing design governance and decision frameworks
• Supporting a multi-entity, multi-country rollout across Europe
• Working closely with functional consultants and programme leadership

What they're looking for

• Proven experience as a D365 F&O Solution Architect - this is not a role for a Consultant with hybrid architecture skills
• Track record delivering multi-entity, multi-country ERP programmes
• Experience leading discovery phases and defining global templates
• Ability to engage, challenge, and influence CFO-level stakeholders
• Strong bias toward standardisation over customisation

The programme

• Greenfield D365 Finance implementation
• Global template across 20+ entities in Europe
• High-visibility programme with senior stakeholder engagement
• Initial discovery phase with longer-term delivery roadmap

Contract

Initial 3-6 months

Location: Europe (hybrid - travel for workshops)

Rate: Negotiable (outside IR35)
