Job Description

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)
