Greenfield Transformation
Our client, a global leader embarking on an ambitious multi-year transformation programme, is seeking a Principal Dynamics 365 CE Architect to own the architecture of their strategic, global CRM solution.
This is a rare greenfield opportunity: building on a newly established Dynamics 365 Customer Service platform, you'll hold end-to-end accountability for the technical design of the CRM as it scales into the enterprise-wide system of engagement. You'll set the technical direction, own the key design decisions, and lead a high-performing D365 development team within an Agile, product-based delivery model, all while staying genuinely hands-on with Dynamics 365 CE and the Power Platform.
The role:
- Own the D365 CE architecture end-to-end — from vision through to delivered design, defining the target architecture, design principles and standards that govern how the CRM is built and extended
- Act as design authority for the platform, making key design decisions and reviewing/approving solution designs to protect architectural integrity
- Stay hands-on in D365 CE and Power Platform — prototyping and proving out designs, not just drawing diagrams
- Make deliberate low-code vs pro-code decisions — Power Apps, Power Automate and Business Process Flows where configuration wins; plugins, custom APIs, JavaScript and Azure services where code is the right answer
- Design robust integrations between Dynamics 365 CE and the wider enterprise estate (Azure, SAP, Microsoft 365, third-party SaaS), selecting the right patterns across Azure Integration Services, Logic Apps, APIs and Dataverse
- Design for non-functionals — resiliency, scalability, performance, availability, disaster recovery, and security/governance by design
- Lead and mentor the CRM development team — setting technical standards, running design and code reviews, and growing the team's architectural thinking
- Shape the roadmap — assessing new Dynamics 365 and Power Platform releases and translating them into architectural direction alongside the Product Owner
