MS Dynamics SME/Expert (Financial & SCM)
Remote with travel for first 1-2 weeks.
Duration - through thanksgiving + extensions.
Looking for an immediate backfill—candidates should be available to travel (billed to client) first 1-2 weeks and should have experience with MS Dynamics (finance and SCM) implementations and expertise leading ERP & Dynamics specific training for users.
Why this position is open:
- They delayed the start of the implementation.
- Had several projects running in parallel- don’t overload internal resources
- Looking for someone to work with client and complete prework prior to implementation
- Need MS Dynamics experience to help show/tell what’s available in the system, start navigating the process changes
Current:
- Did a lot of the prework initially to collect the asset status but the part missing now is the Dynamics expertise
- What they’re going to do and translate into that system
- Processes today are heavily driven by the current ERP
- Huge change to handle
Overall, talking internally, change management has been a huge concern for a lot of people. Getting a head start now on familiarity with the tool.
