Project Manager – Dynamics 365 F&O Implementation (Manufacturing)

Location: Noida / Hybrid

Engagement Type: Permanent

Start: Immediate / As per client mobilisation timeline

About the Role

Our client, a UK-based manufacturing organisation in the process industry, is undergoing a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O) transformation. We‘re looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead this implementation end-to-end — owning delivery, stakeholder alignment, and risk/issue management across functional and technical workstreams.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end delivery plan for the D365 F&O implementation — scope, schedule, budget, resourcing, and RAID management.
• Act as the primary liaison between client business stakeholders (Finance, Supply Chain, Production/Plant Operations) and the implementation partner/technical team.
• Drive governance: steering committee reporting, milestone tracking, change control, and go-live readiness assessments.
• Manage cross-functional dependencies across Finance, Manufacturing Execution, Procurement, and Supply Chain modules within F&O.
• Lead cutover planning, UAT coordination, data migration checkpoints, and hypercare transition post go-live.
• Proactively identify and mitigate risks specific to manufacturing/process industry environments (e.g., shop floor integration, batch/process manufacturing, quality management, regulatory compliance).
• Manage vendor/SI performance, resourcing, and commercial trade-offs where applicable.
• Provide clear, concise status reporting to senior client stakeholders and executive sponsors.

Must-Have Qualifications

• 10+ years of overall Project Management experience, with a demonstrable track record of managing at least one full-cycle Dynamics 365 F&O (or AX) implementation as PM (not just functional/BA role).
• Prior experience delivering ERP programmes within manufacturing , with process industry background strongly preferred (chemicals, food & beverage, pharma, materials, etc.).
• Strong command of ERP project methodologies (Microsoft Sure Step / Agile / hybrid) and standard PM frameworks (PRINCE2, PMP, or equivalent).
• Excellent stakeholder management skills — proven ability to manage senior client sponsors, cross-functional teams, and third-party SI/vendor relationships simultaneously.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting to C-suite/steering committees.
