Lead Enterprise Solutions Architect/ Dynamics 365, Azure

Careerwise is helping a large IT software company fill a lead-level role in London. The position centers on owning solution architecture across a global technology landscape with a focus on transforming and consolidating core enterprise systems around Microsoft Dynamics 365. This is a full-time, onsite opportunity that would suit someone who enjoys shaping major platform decisions and guiding ERP, CRM, CPQ and integration initiatives at scale.

The job is based in London and requires onsite work. It’s a fit for professionals who want to lead architecture across the enterprise, collaborate with engineering teams and external system integrators, and influence senior stakeholders on how best to realise business goals through technology.

If you like turning complex requirements into practical designs, mentoring engineers, and shaping a long-term path for core business systems, this could be a strong match.

Architecting the backbone of enterprise platforms

As the lead, you’ll own end-to-end solution architecture across the core enterprise stack, ERP, CRM, CPQ and the surrounding integration layer. You’ll define the target architecture and a transition roadmap for key business systems built around Microsoft Dynamics 365, and you’ll shape migration approaches and options to upgrade or consolidate where appropriate.

You’ll help steer the CRM and CPQ roadmap, including the move toward Dynamics 365 Sales and the integration of supporting business platforms. An important part of the role is devising an enterprise integration strategy and roadmap, assessing existing bespoke integrations and designing future approaches and platforms to meet security, resilience and scalability goals.

Choosing the right integration technologies and patterns will be a core responsibility, balancing business needs with security, cost and maintainability. You’ll translate business and non-functional requirements into concrete designs, clearly outlining options, risks and trade-offs for leadership and delivery teams.

You’ll collaborate with engineering teams and external system integrators to review designs, challenge proposed solutions and ensure alignment with enterprise standards. The role also requires ensuring solutions address security, resilience, performance, monitoring and operational readiness, while mentoring engineers and technical teams as needed.

Foundations for leading enterprise architecture

Required experience includes having led or contributed in a senior architecture capacity, shaping solution architecture at scale. You should have proven expertise spanning ERP, CRM, CPQ and the integrations that connect them, with strong hands-on Dynamics 365 experience, especially Finance & Operations (F&O).

A track record in guiding ERP transformations is essential, ideally including a migration from Microsoft Navision to Dynamics 365 F&O. Experience designing CRM and CPQ solutions is also important, preferably involving Dynamics 365 Sales and Oracle CPQ. A solid grasp of enterprise integration architecture, various platforms, patterns and approaches, and the ability to craft integration strategies and transition roadmaps, including evolving bespoke integrations, are key. Knowledge of Microsoft Azure, particularly Azure Integration Services, and the ability to assess different integration technologies round out the must-haves.

Tips to help you land this opportunity

Lead with the architecture scope. Put your title and the breadth of ERP, CRM, CPQ and integration work up front on your resume, and highlight any role where you guided an enterprise transformation or migration.

Show real results with Dynamics 365. Give concrete examples of projects involving Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, and any migrations from Navision to D365 F&O, including the business impact you drove and the challenges you overcame.

Demonstrate how you design and govern integrations. Include descriptions of target architectures, transition roadmaps and how you evolved bespoke integrations into standard patterns or platforms, with attention to security and resilience.

Prepare to discuss your approach to leadership in architecture. Be ready to talk about mentoring engineers, collaborating with system integrators, and how you ensure solutions align with enterprise standards while meeting performance and monitoring requirements.
