About the role

They know how these systems model leases, assets, and contracts, and can look at a workflow and quickly identify where technology can eliminate friction or manual effort.
Responsibilities
- Serve as subject matter expert on equipment leasing operations, deal flow, and back-office processes — drawing on direct experience with Dynamics CRM which holds the origination to booking process. Knowing one of the following platforms is a plus: LeasePlus, Odessa, Solifi, or a comparable lessor platform.
- Identify opportunities to improve workflows across origination, quoting, credit, booking, contract management, and asset lifecycle using a strong understanding of how lessor systems model these processes.
- Engage directly with business stakeholders across originations, operations, and finance to understand pain points and translate them into actionable system improvements.
- Stay current on leasing platform capabilities and evaluate how new features or configurations can serve the business.
- Administer Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales as the primary CRM supporting our origination-to-booking process.
- Maintain and extend custom HTML web resources and Jscript-driven form logic that power purpose-built UIs within Dynamics 365.
- Support Power Automate flows and basic Power Apps configurations that extend CRM functionality for business users.
- Maintain system hygiene, user access, security model, and documentation for the CRM environment.
- Solution Design & Development Partnership:
- Participate in architectural and design decisions — weighing build-vs-buy trade-offs, evaluating data model options, and recommending solutions that fit the complexity of our business.
- Use AI tools (such as Claude) to accelerate requirements gathering, draft process documentation, and prototype lightweight solutions or configuration logic.
- Produce clear, well-structured requirements packages and technical handoff materials for the development team when changes exceed configuration scope.
- Partner with the development team on more complex CRM enhancements, back-office integrations, and automation initiatives — providing business and systems context so developers can work efficiently.
- Ownt user acceptance testing (UAT) for system changes, validating that solutions behave correctly in the context of real leasing workflows.
- Maintain documentation for system changes, configurations, and process improvements.

- Dynamics 365 administration. 3+ years working with Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE / Sales in an administrative, configuration, or functional capacity, with the ability to make configuration changes independently — entities, workflows, business process flows, security roles, views, and forms.
- Lessor organization experience. Experience working in or directly supporting a lessor organization — or a financial services background.
- Communication. Strong communication skills; able to engage credibly with business stakeholders and technical developers alike.
- AI tool comfort. Comfortable using AI tools (Claude or equivalent) to accelerate requirements gathering, documentation, and prototyping.
- Custom UI development. Experience building or maintaining custom HTML web resources and JScript-driven form logic within Dynamics 365.

- Integration tooling. Experience with KingswaySoft or similar Dynamics 365 integration tooling, and working knowledge of FetchXML and Microsoft SQL for data queries and ETL troubleshooting.
- Reporting. Experience with SSRS report development and Power BI for operational visibility would be a plus.
- Administrative tooling. Familiarity with XrmToolBox for CRM administration tasks.
- Custom solution familiarity. Familiarity with custom entities and workflows specific to lease origination, debt placement, remarketing, and asset disposition is a strong plus.
