Solutions Architect

Solution Architect – Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O (Finance & Operations)

with AI-Driven Finance & Supply Chain Solutions

Role Overview

We are seeking a Solution Architect who can take business requirements and rapidly convert them into working solutions across the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O) ecosystem, extended by the underlying data and AI layer. This is a fast-moving, hands-on role: the person will not just design architecture on paper, but actively build, configure, and ship ERP solutions across finance and supply chain processes.

Equally important: this person must stay ahead of the Microsoft ecosystem on their own initiative — new F&O releases, AI capabilities (Copilot for Finance, Azure AI), and platform shifts — and proactively bring relevant innovations into Starlink and StarCent without being asked. We are not looking for someone who waits for direction; were looking for someone who arrives with the direction already scoped out.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate business requirements directly into working solutions using Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (Finance, Supply Chain Management modules) — with a bias toward speed of solutioning, not just design documentation.
• Own end-to-end delivery of F&O configurations, extensions, and integrations that extend or fill gaps in standard finance and supply chain processes.
• Architect how F&O and business data flows into Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Factory/Synapse, and how AI services (Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Copilot for Finance) can be layered on top to unlock new use cases — forecasting, anomaly detection, intelligent reporting, and process automation.
• Continuously track the Microsoft F&O product roadmap and emerging AI capabilities — Copilot for Finance, Azure AI, Power Platform updates relevant to F&O — and proactively propose where these should be adopted internally, without waiting for a business ask.
• Bring industry best practices into the organization unprompted; act as the internal expert who raises the bar rather than one who waits to be pushed.
• Partner with Finance, Supply Chain, Product, Engineering, and Business stakeholders to ensure solutions are grounded in real business outcomes, not just technical elegance.
• Provide architectural guidance and hands-on support to implementation teams — this role builds, not just advises.
• Evaluate emerging Microsoft F&O and AI technologies and lead their adoption where theres a clear business case.

Required Qualifications & Experience (Must-Haves)

• 5+ years hands-on Solution Architecture experience within the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O) ecosystem.

Deep, hands-on expertise in:

• Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (Finance and/or Supply Chain Management modules)
• X++ development and F&O extensions / customizations
• Lifecycle Services (LCS) and standard F&O implementation/deployment lifecycle
• Data Management Framework / data entities for data migration and integration
• Demonstrated track record of converting business requirements into deployed F&O solutions quickly — not just architecture diagrams.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills; able to work directly with finance and supply chain business teams to scope requirements without heavy translation layers.

Highly Valued (Good-to-Have — a candidate strong across all three is exceptional)

• Microsoft Fabric — understanding how F&O/business data lands, gets modeled, and becomes usable.
• Azure Data Factory / Synapse — data integration and pipeline experience.
• Azure AI Foundry / Azure OpenAI Service / Copilot for Finance — experience designing solutions that call into AI services from within finance and supply chain workflows.

A candidate who combines strong F&O delivery skills with genuine Fabric + AI services experience is the ideal profile — this combination is rare and should be weighted heavily in evaluation.

Ideal Candidate

A self-directed technologist who treats staying current on the Microsoft F&O and AI ecosystem as part of the job description, not an extracurricular. Someone who has already been the person in their last organization who said we should be using this before anyone asked — and who can prove it with a specific example, not just a claim. Combines strong hands-on F&O solutioning with genuine curiosity about where Microsofts AI and platform investments are heading next, and the judgment to know which of those are actually worth bringing into Starlink and StarCent.
