Lead Solution Architect - Dynamics 365 & Power Platform

12 Month Fixed Term | Wellington | Senior Technical Leadership

We are looking for an experienced Dynamics 365 & Power Platform Solution Architect to take technical ownership of a complex enterprise Microsoft platform environment.

This is a senior role combining solution architecture, technical leadership and people leadership. You’ll be responsible for the end-to-end design and evolution of Dynamics 365 and Power Platform solutions, ensuring they are scalable, secure, well integrated and aligned with long-term business needs.

The role
Working across business and technology teams, you’ll translate complex requirements into practical solution designs and provide technical direction throughout the development lifecycle.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Leading the end-to-end architecture and evolution of Dynamics 365 and Power Platform solutions
• Designing solution architectures, data models, workflows, integrations and customisations
• Leading integration between Dynamics 365 and other enterprise platforms
• Providing architecture reviews, design assurance and technical guidance
• Resolving complex technical and solution design challenges
• Establishing and promoting architecture standards and best practice
• Identifying opportunities to improve platform performance, functionality and maintainability
• Providing leadership and direction to technical team members

The position also has four direct reports, making this a great opportunity for someone who enjoys developing people while remaining closely involved in technology and architecture.

What we're looking for
You’ll bring strong experience designing and delivering enterprise-scale Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform solutions within complex environments.

Ideally, you'll have experience across:

• Dynamics 365 and Power Platform solution architecture
• Power Apps, Power Automate and associated Microsoft technologies
• Enterprise integration, APIs, middleware and/or cloud integration
• Data modelling, security, performance and scalability
• Microsoft Azure services
• Technical leadership and architecture governance
• DevOps, source control and CI/CD practices
• Translating business requirements into robust technical solutions
• Working with a broad mix of technical and non-technical stakeholders

Experience within government, financial services, health and safety or another regulated environment would be advantageous.

Why consider this opportunity? This isn't simply a role maintaining an existing Dynamics environment. You'll have the opportunity to act as a technical authority for the platform, influence its future direction and establish standards that shape how solutions are delivered across the organisation.

If you're an experienced Dynamics 365 Solution Architect, Technical Architect or senior D365 Technical Lead looking for broader ownership and leadership responsibility, we'd be keen to hear from you.
