D365 ERP Project Manager

Location: London – 3 days per week onsite

Contract: 6 months

Rate: £525–£550 per day, Outside IR35

The Opportunity

A retail organisation is moving from a legacy Microsoft Dynamics AX platform to Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management.

The requirements have already been established and an implementation partner is in place. They now need an experienced, hands-on Project Manager to represent the business, work closely with the SI and keep the programme moving in the right direction.

The Role

Acting as the link between the internal business teams and the implementation partner, you will provide day-to-day ownership of the project and ensure the solution is delivered smoothly.

This is not a role for someone who wants to manage entirely from a distance. You will need to get into the detail, resolve issues and take responsibility for driving progress.

Main Responsibilities

• Manage the delivery of the D365 Finance and Supply Chain implementation
• Act as the main point of contact between the business and the SI
• Maintain the project plan, milestones, dependencies and RAID log
• Track delivery against the agreed requirements, scope and budget
• Coordinate business stakeholders, technical teams and third parties
• Challenge the SI constructively and hold them accountable for delivery
• Identify risks, remove blockers and escalate issues where required
• Support testing, data migration, business readiness and go-live planning
• Provide clear progress reporting to senior stakeholders

Skills and Experience

• Previous experience managing a Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain implementation
• Experience working client-side alongside a systems integrator
• Proven ownership of complex ERP implementation projects
• Strong stakeholder and third-party supplier management skills
• Experience supporting testing, data migration and go-live activities
• Comfortable working at both programme level and in the delivery detail
• Pragmatic, proactive and willing to roll up your sleeves

Desirable

• Previous retail sector experience
• Experience migrating from Microsoft Dynamics AX to D365
• Understanding of finance and supply chain processes within a multi-site business
