- Design integration patterns across applications (APIs, event-driven, ETL/ELT, data virtualization)
Data Integration & Interoperability
- Lead architecture for cross-system data flows (e.g., order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, manufacturing execution)
- Standardize data exchange, synchronization, and lineage across platforms
- Partner with application teams to reduce point-to-point integrations and data silos
Data Platform & Analytics Enablement
- Align operational data architecture with enterprise data platform (warehouse / lake house)
- Enable high-quality, trusted data for reporting, analytics, and AI/ML use cases
- Define patterns for real-time and batch data processing
Master Data & Governance
- Define and support Master Data Management (MDM) strategy across domains
- Establish data governance, quality, and stewardship models
- Ensure compliance with data security, privacy, and regulatory requirements
Leadership & Collaboration

- Influence architecture decisions across IT and business domains
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to architects and engineers
Qualifications
Required
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)

- Strong experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 (ERP and CRM), including understanding of underlying data models (Finance & Operations, Sales, Customer Service, etc.)
- Proven track record designing data architectures and integrations around D365, including data extraction, synchronization, and extension patterns
- Deep expertise in data modeling (transactional and analytical), particularly across finance, customer, product, and order domains

- Hands-on experience with Azure data ecosystem (e.g., Azure Data Factory, Synapse, Fabric, Data Lake)
- Strong understanding of data lifecycle management, data quality, and governance practices
- Ability to influence across business and IT stakeholders without direct authority
Preferred
- Experience integrating D365 with MES, PLM, or other enterprise/manufacturing systems

- Experience with event-driven architectures (e.g., Azure Event Grid, Service Bus)
- Knowledge of master data management (MDM) solutions and implementation
- Experience supporting analytics and reporting layers (Power BI, Fabric, or similar) on top of D365 data
- Background in manufacturing, supply chain, or industrial environments
