About the Role
Our client, a UK-based manufacturing organisation in the process industry, is undergoing a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O) transformation. We're looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead this implementation end-to-end — owning delivery, stakeholder alignment, and risk/issue management across functional and technical workstreams.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end delivery plan for the D365 F&O implementation — scope, schedule, budget, resourcing, and RAID management.
- Act as the primary liaison between client business stakeholders (Finance, Supply Chain, Production/Plant Operations) and the implementation partner/technical team.
- Drive governance: steering committee reporting, milestone tracking, change control, and go-live readiness assessments.
- Manage cross-functional dependencies across Finance, Manufacturing Execution, Procurement, and Supply Chain modules within F&O.
- Lead cutover planning, UAT coordination, data migration checkpoints, and hypercare transition post go-live.
- Proactively identify and mitigate risks specific to manufacturing/process industry environments (e.g., shop floor integration, batch/process manufacturing, quality management, regulatory compliance).
- Manage vendor/SI performance, resourcing, and commercial trade-offs where applicable.
- Provide clear, concise status reporting to senior client stakeholders and executive sponsors.
