Role Summary and Impact

Versatile and highly analytical Finance Process Designer with expertise in cross-functional finance areas to join our D365 Programme Implementation Team. This role is crucial for integrating diverse financial processes and ensuring seamless data flow across D365 F&O or D365 Business Central.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Requirements Gathering: Lead discovery sessions with diverse stakeholders (finance, operations, IT) to gather, analyze, and document complex 'As-Is' and 'To-Be' requirements for cross-functional finance processes (e.g., cost accounting, project accounting, treasury integration, intercompany frameworks, master data management for finance, financial security roles, advanced reporting/analytics).
  • Process Design & Integration: Design and re-engineer integrated finance processes to optimize D365 F&O/BC functionalities and ensure seamless data flow and integration across various finance modules and with other business areas
  • System Configuration: Translate complex business requirements into functional specifications and perform configuration across various D365 F&O/BC modules that impact multiple finance areas, such as Cost Accounting, Project Management & Accounting, advanced General Ledger setups, and financial security roles.
  • RAID Management: Proactively identify, document, and manage Risks, Assumptions, Issues, and Dependencies (RAIDs) related to integrated finance processes, escalating as necessary to D365 Global Process Owners.
  • Task & Deliverable Management: Manage assigned tasks and deliverables within the overall D365 project plan, often involving coordination across multiple functional and technical teams.
  • Data Migration Support: Collaborate with data teams on master data design and migration strategies for finance-related entities (e.g., financial dimensions, projects, cost objects) to ensure consistency and integrity across the D365 landscape.
  • Testing Leadership: Develop comprehensive User Acceptance Testing (UAT) scripts and scenarios for end-to-end, cross-functional finance processes, lead UAT sessions, and manage defect resolution cycles, with a strong focus on integration points and data integrity.
  • Training & Documentation: Create detailed training materials and deliver effective training sessions, emphasizing the interconnectedness of processes and data flow for integrated finance functions.
  • Go-Live & Post-Go-Live Support: Provide hands-on support during go-live and hypercare phases, focusing on critical integration points and complex financial workflows.
  • Global Alignment: Work closely with D365 Global Process Owners to ensure cross-functional designs and configurations adhere to global design principles and solution architecture, facilitating consistency across markets.

Skills and Experience

  • Experience in finance process design, business analysis, or functional consulting, with a proven track of working on complex, integrated finance solutions.
  • Demonstrable experience with at least one full lifecycle implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O or D365 Business Central, with exposure to modules like Cost Accounting, Project Management & Accounting, and advanced General Ledger setups.
  • Strong understanding of integration points between various finance modules and with non-finance modules
  • Experience with financial master data management and data governance principles.
  • Proficiency in documenting complex business processes, functional specifications, and integration test plans.
  • Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to bridge gaps between technical and business teams.
  • Ability to manage complexity and ambiguity, and to drive consensus among diverse stakeholders.
