As organisations look to leverage the advantage IT offers, we will work with you to develop the consultancy and analytical skills that you will need in today’s environment. Working on projects that cross borders and sectors, the experiences you gain here will be more valuable than anywhere else. So whenever you join, however long you stay, the exceptional EY experience lasts a lifetime.

The opportunity

This is a rapidly growing area, so you will have plenty of opportunity to spread your wings and develop your skillset to keep up with the ever-growing demands of the digital landscape. Most of your time will be spent embedded with our clients’ team and we’ll look to you to provide our clients with a unique business and technical perspective on how they must continue to innovate and remain competitive in this ever-changing industry.

Microsoft Dynamics and Power Platform Consultants participate in enterprise solution implementations, including all project phases such as discovery, definition, build, test and deploy. After our sales team wins a project, you'll become an integral part of the delivery team to ensure the solutions built for our clients meet their needs to help drive their success.

Your key responsibilities

You will focus on the evaluation, design, customization and optimization of Power Platform-based solutions. You will team with various EY groups with digital capabilities to pursue and deliver digital engagements and deliver solutions that will bring our client’s digital vision and strategy to life.

You'll work with the client to define their requirements and then you'll design and participate in the system architecture process. Once that's complete, you'll implement most of their customizations yourself using Microsoft’s web-based customization tools. You won't need to program any custom code or configure the client's network; you will have a team to support those needs if they arise, but you will need to understand how those related technologies work. The other responsibilities include:

• Designing the solution architecture for Microsoft Dynamics and Power Platform solutions customized to meet the identified customer business needs
• Utilizing knowledge of Microsoft solutions to accurately estimate the effort required to deploy a customized solution
• Leading client discussions to review possible solutions to the business requirements presented
• Coordinating across multidisciplinary teams and collaborating with functional analysts, architects, and developers, communicating what is required
• Monitoring the progress and quality of the project

Skills and attributes for success

• Strong teaming and communications
• Strong drive to excel professionally, and to guide and motivate others
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Dedicated, resourceful and able to work under pressure

To qualify for the role, you must have

• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science/Information Technology/Business Systems or any other relevant discipline
• Minimum of 5 years in system design or information system capacity (solution architectural experience is preferred)
• Minimum of 1 year experience (or 5+ projects) implementing Microsoft Dynamics and/or Power Platform technologies and have hands-on experience with configuration and customizations
• Familiar with relational database concepts

Preferred skills

• Microsoft certifications a plus, but not required
• Prior consulting experience highly preferred

What we look for

Highly motivated individuals with excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to prioritize shifting workloads in a rapidly changing industry. An effective communicator, you will be a confident leader equipped with strong people management skills and a genuine passion to make things happen in a dynamic organization. If you are ready to take on a wide range of responsibilities, and are committed to seeking out new ways to make a difference, this role is for you.
