Benefits

Additional Information

At Cortland, we operate with a forward-thinking approach that challenges conventional norms and actively seeks insights beyond traditional industry boundaries. As a recognized leader in the multifamily sector, our focus on performance, innovation, and disciplined execution continues to drive strong growth and market leadership. We are committed to building a best-in-class organization by empowering top talent with the resources, autonomy, and support needed to deliver results and advance their careers in a high-performance environment. Role Overview As the Senior Technical Lead for Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O, you will serve as the in-house platform expert and a critical member of the Enterprise Applications team. This role represents the senior technical voice for F&O at Cortland, with ownership across how the platform is configured, extended, integrated and operated on day-to-day basis, while working closely with the Director of Enterprise Applications and VP on architectural direction. Your deep knowledge and expertise will help shape how F&O participates in Cortland's wider technology landscape and finance processes. This position is designed for an influential, hands-on technical leader who goes beyond gathering requirements and workshop facilitation-someone who can critically evaluate business needs, challenge assumptions where needed, and translate them into pragmatic, high-quality F&O solutions. You will bring a strong point of view on platform capabilities, best practices, and trade-offs, ensuring decisions are both technically sound and aligned to long-term strategy. Additionally, you will play a key role in cross-platform collaboration, working closely with the Enterprise Integration & Automation (EIA) team as integrations between F&O and other platforms are designed, executed and delivered. Acting as the F&O subject matter expert, you will help define data flows, integration patterns and solution decisions to ensure they align with the platform architecture and the operating model. F&O Solution Design & Configuration Lead the functional design for F&O, recommending how Cortland's finance processes should be configured within the platform, including financial dimensions, chart of accounts, workflows, approval hierarchies, and module-level setup. While a more junior team will carry out much of the routine configuration, you will guide the approach, review their work, and step in hands-on where complexity demands it. Ensure that configuration decisions are well-reasoned, properly documented, and maintainable, not just technically correct but right for Cortland's operating model and long-term platform strategy. Provide expert input on design questions raised by Product Managers, implementation partners, or finance stakeholders, giving clear, well-grounded recommendations. Assess enhancement requests and change proposals against the existing F&O configuration to identify downstream impacts, risks, and the most effective approach to delivery. Keep pace with Microsoft's F&O release cycle, understanding what is changing, what new capabilities are becoming available, and how they may be relevant to Cortland. Apply judgment on where to extend F&O: in-platform via X++ extensions, externally via Power Platform, Business Events, or Azure Functions, or through Dataverse and integration. Avoid both over-customization in X++ and over-reliance on external orchestration. Integration Partnership with EIA Act as the F&O subject matter expert for all integration workstreams; this is one of the most critical aspects of the role. Work closely with the Enterprise Integration & Automation team during integration design: providing detailed knowledge of F&O data structures, entities, APIs, and constraints so that integration decisions are grounded in reality. Participate in field mapping sessions, review data flow designs, and validate that what is being built will work correctly within F&O's data model and processing logic. Flag integration design decisions that could cause problems downstream (whether that is data quality issues, process failures, or configuration conflicts) and help the EIA team navigate them. Act as a bridge between how F&O works and how the broader technology ecosystem needs to interact with it, ensuring integrations with Coupa, Adaptive Planning, and other connected systems are designed soundly. Platform Ownership Own the ongoing health of the F&O environment (change management, security model, workflow integrity, and configuration coherence), running a structured process for how changes get made, reviewed, and released. On a small team this is a hands-on responsibility. Support resolution of complex F&O issues, bringing platform expertise to diagnose root causes and recommend solutions. Maintain accurate, up-to-date documentation of the F&O configuration, ensuring the EA team has a reliable record of how the system is set up and why decisions were made. Act as the go-to subject
