Consultant/Analytic D365 (Finance and Procurement)

Description

In this high-visibility position, you will represent the Finance, Accounting, and Procurement business streams during a large-scale, global ERP transformation. Operating under the functional direction of the Finance & Administration Director, you will act as the crucial link between local Polish business operations, global central project teams, and Microsoft representatives.

This is a business-centric analytical role—not a developer or technical configurator position. Your primary mission is to translate local Polish accounting, tax, and purchasing mandates into clear functional requirements, ensuring the core global solution aligns with local operational realities.

Key Responsibilities

Market & Operational Readiness

• Evaluate current-state (AS-IS) financial and purchasing workflows to pinpoint local divergences from the global standard.
• Map supporting software applications, analyzing data flows and interface touchpoints across system boundaries.
• Formalize local operational requirements and perform comprehensive gap analyses against the central template.
• Facilitate the sunsetting of legacy local applications as central enterprise solutions are introduced.
• Build deep domain expertise across Finance, Procurement, Dealer Management Systems (DMS), and Order-to-Delivery (O2D) pathways.

Global Blueprinting & Target State Design

• Serve as the primary local business delegate during global Blueprint workshops.
• Assess the operational impact of proposed core templates on local workflows, legacy applications, and system integrations.
• Validate that central solution designs satisfy local statutory, tax, and financial reporting standards.
• Maintain clear documentation of business decisions, operational assumptions, and localized functional needs.
• Partner with global architecture teams, Microsoft specialists, and subject matter experts to resolve Fit/Gap findings.

Solution Implementation & Business Validation

• Coordinate day-to-day alignment between internal business leads, central delivery units, and Microsoft implementation partners.
• Review incoming system configurations and deliverables strictly through a business-process lens.
• Oversee end-to-end testing phases, including functional, integration, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
• Help triage, prioritize, and manage defect resolutions and change requests.
• Ensure organizational readiness leading up to the system Go-Live.

Go-Live Support & Hypercare Stabilization

• Provide hands-on guidance to Key Users and Process Owners during system deployment.
• Monitor end-to-end process performance to ensure post-launch stability.
• Analyze user feedback and collaborate with central support and Microsoft teams to resolve hypercare incidents.
• Identify continuous improvement opportunities to optimize post-implementation workflows.

Candidate Profile & Requirements

• ERP Domain Knowledge: Extensive, practical experience with MS Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365 F&O) is required.
