ACCOUNTABILITIES

Own the technical delivery of the Dynamics 365 industry business processes. You will turn those processes into working, supportable F&O configuration and code and support their roll out globally across legal entities, regions, and go-live waves.

Own Power Platform programs end to end. Design and build across Dataverse, model-driven and canvas apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, and custom connectors. Build reusable assets that compound shared component libraries, PCF controls, custom connectors, and solution patterns other developers and partners inherit rather than reinvent.

Work across F&O, Project Operations (Integrated with ERP deployment), and Sales-including where the seams between them leak: project actuals, integration journals, and revenue recognition. Also understand the licensing and entitlement consequences of design choices before they reach procurement, not after.

Design, build, and operate production AI agents using Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry, and Dataverse-native AI capabilities.

Act as the senior technical partner to the Global Architecture team, validating solution designs, identifying implementation risks, mentoring XTG engineers toward expert-class capability in F&O and Power Platform and leading complex technical initiatives from design through production deployment.
