Director, Project Management Platforms

About the role

Project Ignite is a large-scale enterprise transformation program uniting 20+ operating companies onto a single Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations and Project Operations platform. We are building a deployment factory designed to roll out several entities per year across a tiered portfolio - and the Director, Project Management Platforms sits at the heart of that engine. We are seeking an accomplished and strategic leader to own the D365 Project Operations workstream end-to-end: designing the core template, leading a team of Business Systems Analysts through agile delivery, and scaling the model across a complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise. This role sits at the intersection of four distinct stakeholder groups - Sales, Project Management, Field Service, and Accounting - requiring a leader who can navigate competing priorities, drive standardization across a decentralized portfolio, and build durable internal D365 capability that outlasts the PwC System Integrator engagement. Ideal candidates bring deep D365 Project Operations expertise, a player-coach leadership style, and the credibility to be a trusted advisor to business leaders who measure success in very different ways. Essential Duties and Responsibilities: Platform Transformation & Strategic Leadership - Lead the end-to-end design and deployment of the D365 Project Operations core template for Project Ignite - spanning the full project lifecycle from opportunity and contract through resource deployment, time and expense, project billing, and revenue recognition - balancing standardization with the flexibility required to serve 20+ operating companies - Own the Project Operations template integrity across the program - governing configuration standards, fit/gap documentation, and deviation management to ensure every entity deployment inherits a proven, repeatable foundation rather than a bespoke build - Serve as a strategic advisor to Sales, Project Management, Field Service, and Finance leadership - managing competing priorities across all four groups, facilitating design decisions that serve the enterprise standard, and developing clear roadmaps for subsequent functionality releases beyond the initial deployment - Support integration of acquired businesses into the deployment factory model - assessing entity complexity, slotting acquisitions into the appropriate deployment tier, and driving operational harmonization to the standard Project Operations template Team Leadership & Delivery Management - Own and develop a team of Business Systems Analysts focused on D365 Project Operations deployment across all entity tiers; this team is the primary business-facing interface for requirements gathering, change management, UAT coordination, cutover readiness, hypercare, and ongoing system support across Sales, Project Management, Field Service, and Accounting functions - Partner with the F&O BSA Director and Technical Delivery leadership on matrixed resourcing within the deployment factory - coordinating wave planning, entity readiness, and BSA allocation across Tier 1 common-stack, Tier 2 mid-complexity, and Tier 3 lightweight deployments to sustain 8-10 entity rollouts per year - Lead knowledge transfer from PwC to internal BSA team members, ensuring each deployment cycle builds internal D365 Project Operations capability rather than deepening SI dependency; mentor and develop BSAs into autonomous deployment practitioners who can execute the playbook independently Stakeholder Engagement & Change Management - Lead executive-level stakeholder engagement across Sales, Project Management, Field Service, and Finance - aligning four groups with distinct success metrics around a shared platform standard, and driving adoption through targeted change management and training strategies tailored to each audience Other Duties - Regular, consistent and necessary to meet the needs of the business - Assists the leadership team and other team members with various research projects and/or special projects - Performs other duties and responsibilities as assigned - Must conduct self in an ethical, legal, and responsible manner at all times - Must adhere to the policies, principles, and guidance within the Employee Handbook and Code of Conduct Education/Experience: - Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Computer Sc
