Dynamics Business Central Techno-Functional Consultant

Business Central Techno-Functional Consultant — Contract

Location: South West London Contract Length: Circa 12 months IR35 Status: [TBC — to confirm] Rate: [TBC — competitive, dependent on experience] Start Date: [ASAP]

The Opportunity

We're recruiting on behalf of a client based in South West London who is undertaking a major transformation project: migrating their Microsoft Dynamics Business Central environment from an on-premise deployment (version 8 / NAV 2015) to Azure-based cloud Business Central (current release).

This isn't a routine version upgrade. The client's existing environment includes a significant volume of customisation built on the legacy on-premise architecture, meaning none of it lifts across directly - it all needs to be properly assessed, understood, and rebuilt for the cloud platform. We're looking for someone who can own that translation from both a functional and technical standpoint.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading the functional and configuration side of the migration from on-premise Business Central to Azure cloud
• Assessing the client's existing customisations and advising on what can be retained, rebuilt, or retired in the move to cloud
• Identifying and explaining the functional differences between the legacy on-premise version and the current cloud platform
• Advising on Business Central licensing models appropriate for the client's post-migration setup
• Working closely with the client's technical/infrastructure team, who are handling the underlying cloud and Azure setup
• Acting as the go-to Business Central product expert throughout the engagement - flagging quirks, gaps, and version-specific nuances before they become problems

What We're Looking For

• Deep, hands-on Business Central expertise - genuinely knows the product inside and out, not just at a surface configuration level
• Experience with both older, on-premise Business Central/NAV environments and current cloud Business Central, including a solid understanding of how functionality and customisation approaches differ between them
• Comfortable enough with the technical side of BC to assess and advise on customisations, even where a separate team is executing the technical build
• Strong working knowledge of Business Central licensing and licensing models
• Prior experience on an on-premise-to-cloud Business Central migration is highly desirable
• Available for a contract role of circa 12 months, based around South West London
