Summary:Project Ignite is a large-scale enterprise transformation program uniting 20+ operating companies onto a single Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations and Project Operations platform. We are building a deployment factory designed to roll out several entities per year across a tiered portfolio — and the Director, Project Management Platforms sits at the heart of that engine. We are seeking an accomplished and strategic leader to own the D365 Project Operations workstream end-to-end: designing the core template, leading a team of Business Systems Analysts through agile delivery, and scaling the model across a complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise.

This role sits at the intersection of four distinct stakeholder groups — Sales, Project Management, Field Service, and Accounting — requiring a leader who can navigate competing priorities, drive standardization across a decentralized portfolio, and build durable internal D365 capability that outlasts the PwC System Integrator engagement. Ideal candidates bring deep D365 Project Operations expertise, a player-coach leadership style, and the credibility to be a trusted advisor to business leaders who measure success in very different ways.

Lead knowledge transfer from PwC to internal BSA team members, ensuring each deployment cycle builds internal D365 Project Operations capability rather than deepening SI dependency; mentor and develop BSAs into autonomous deployment practitioners who can execute the playbook independently Stakeholder Engagement & Change ManagementLead executive-level stakeholder engagement across Sales, Project Management, Field Service, and Finance — aligning four groups with distinct success metrics around a shared platform standard, and driving adoption through targeted change management and training strategies tailored to each audience Other Duties
