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

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.
