D365 F&O Project/Programme Manager | Contract | Outside IR35 | £600/day
Sussex – hybrid, averaging ~3 days per week on-site
£600/day
12–18 month programme
November start
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 programme will be heavily supported by an implementation partner, so a major part of the role will be providing strong client-side leadership, governance and challenge — holding the partner to account while ensuring the business retains ownership of the programme.
Responsibilities
- 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 organisation
- Working 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
Requirements
- 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.
