Become a part of the largest and most strategic IT and business programme in DFDS

With the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365FO), DFDS is embarking on a digital transformation journey across Finance. Replacing all current ERP solutions with D365FO across more than 30 markets and 70 entities is a paramount aspect of our ambition towards becoming a greener and more digitized operator.

To achieve our goals for the coming years, we are extending our team with an experienced Solution Architect to join the Atlas Programme, our ERP transformation Programme in DFDS. The Solution Architect will lead the design and implementation of scalable, robust, and effective solutions, particularly in the integrations area, ensuring alignment with operational business processes and organizational goals.

The Atlas Programme consists of 8 workstreams working in a multinational, inclusive and diverse team.

We expect you to:

• Lead the design of integration solutions between D365FO and line of business systems
• Guide and support technical teams in implementing integrations, ensuring that solutions are robust, scalable, and maintainable across different systems
• Act as a technical advisor, providing guidance to internal and overseas development teams on integration patterns within the D365FO ecosystem to ensure alignment with the overall ERP strategy and target system architecture
• Provide input and guidance to improvement project teams, ensuring that proposed solutions align with the D365FO architecture and contribute to enhancing system efficiency and performance
• Work closely with other architects within the Atlas Programme or T&I (our Technology & Innovation division) to ensure standards are kept
