Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance Functional Implementation Senior Architect
About the role
Crowe’s Consulting Manufacturing & Distribution practice is expanding, and we are seeking an experienced Microsoft Dynamics 365 Senior Implementation Architect to help shape the future of our D365 practice. This role offers the opportunity to lead solution architecture, influence major transformation initiatives, and work directly with finance and operations leaders across manufacturing and distribution organizations. If you want meaningful impact, autonomy, and a clear path to practice leadership, this is a strategic career opportunity—not just another consulting role.
What It Means To Be a Consultant: At Crowe Consulting is a dynamic business focused on solving problems for our clients and serving our core markets through innovative solutions. As technology and AI continue to reshape the consulting landscape, we are looking for individuals who are curious, adaptable, and eager to learn. At Crowe, consultants are expected to build both technical and transferable skills, think critically, and use technology to solve real business problems. In this role, you will continuously learn, collaborate across teams, and explore how tools, including emerging AI capabilities, can improve efficiency, insights, and client outcomes. As you grow, you’ll also begin to take ownership of client relationships, contribute to account strategy, and support the delivery of high-impact work. Developing a sense of account leadership, including understanding client needs, ensuring delivery excellence, and building trusted partnerships, is part of what sets successful consultants apart. Success in this role comes from a growth mindset, strong communication skills, advanced critical thinking, and the ability to navigate new challenges with confidence.
