Why This Role Matters

As an ERP Implementation Consultant, you will own the D365 BC implementation process, ensuring Finexus' financial, operational, and compliance requirements are fully met. You act as the bridge between internal stakeholders and the external vendor, making critical decisions, validating configurations, and ensuring every system change is accurate, compliant, and aligned with business objectives. Your work directly impacts operational efficiency, reporting reliability, and the organization's ability to scale confidently.

About the Role

This is a strategic, hands-on, and highly accountable role. You will define, validate, and optimize ERP configurations, lead cross-functional discussions, and challenge vendor and internal assumptions where necessary. While execution is part of your remit, your primary value lies in thinking critically, making informed decisions, and owning the end-to-end process. You will also mentor stakeholders, facilitate adoption, and ensure the system delivers measurable business outcomes.
