The Role
We’re looking for an experienced D365 F&O Functional Consultant with strong Supply Chain expertise to support a major integration and transformation programme. This is a senior, hands-on role focused on understanding the current D365 landscape, shaping future-state design, and producing clear functional outputs that enable confident delivery across planning, execution, and integration workstreams. If you’re someone who thrives on cutting through complexity, aligning stakeholders, and turning business requirements into robust functional solutions, this role is for you.
What You'll Do
Rapidly understand the current D365 F&O configuration, identifying standard vs customised functionality across core SCM modules.
Map as-is processes and design the to-be state across planning and execution, highlighting dependencies, impacts, and edge cases.
Lead the creation of gap analyses, process flows, and impact logs that inform design decisions and integration sequencing.
Produce high‑quality functional specifications, field mappings, event/transaction designs, and test considerations consumable by integration and build teams.
Define what changes belong inside D365 and what should sit with planning systems, TMS/4PL providers, or external platforms.
Recommend practical, phased sequencing options that avoid unnecessary customisation and support scalable operating models.
Facilitate workshops and communicate design decisions to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
Essential Skills
D365 F&O Functional Expertise (SCM): 7–10+ years across Procurement & Sourcing, Inventory Management, Order Management, WMS, and Master Planning, with enough Finance understanding to follow execution postings.
Integration of Planning & Execution: Proven experience integrating D365 with TMS/4PL systems and supply planning tools (Kinaxis, OMP, SAP IBP, Anaplan, Blue Yonder, ToolsGroup; Maestro/UP highly desirable).
Design-for-Delivery Approach: Strong track record producing clear functional specs, event/transaction designs, mapping documents, and test considerations.
Gap Analysis & SoW Preparation: Comfortable building as‑is/to‑be flows, gap logs, estimation inputs, and SoW content for ERP partners.
Stakeholder Management: Confident working with BAs, PMs, architects, vendors, with the ability to challenge constructively.
Nice to Have
Practical exposure to D365 DMF, Dual-write, Dataverse, or event-driven integration patterns.
Knowledge of 4PL operating models, carrier management, freight settlement, transport execution signalling, and exception management.
