About The Position

The Senior Associate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Technical Consultant / Developer designs, builds, tests, deploys, and supports technical solutions for Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management. The role translates functional and business requirements into maintainable technical components, including extensions, integrations, data migration assets, reports, workflow automation, and AI-enabled features.

The Senior Associate owns assigned technical scope and documentation through completion, determines how to use available resources, guides junior team members, and makes fact-based recommendations to project and practice leadership. The role focuses on secure, maintainable, testable Dynamics 365 solutions that meet documented acceptance criteria and use extension-first design practices. It owns a defined technical work package from clarification and design through build, testing, defect resolution, deployment support, and knowledge transfer. The consultant communicates technical scope, dependencies, options, risks, and trade-offs to functional consultants, client technical teams, and engagement leadership, while maintaining delivery documentation and escalating issues when needed. The position collaborates with clients and project teams on development and extensibility, integrations, data and reporting, Power Platform and AI solutions, DevOps and lifecycle management, and delivery. Work may include X++ development; Azure and Microsoft platform services; quality and release processes; cutover, hypercare, troubleshooting, and transition to support teams; and client-facing demonstrations, training, and knowledge transfer. Living locations are flexible across the United States or Canada.
