D365 Finance & Operations Functional Consultant

Christchurch | 18-Month Fixed Term | ERP Transformation

At Sime Motors, we’re driving a major digital evolution across our enterprise platforms. With over 22 automotive brands and 1,000+ people across New Zealand, our mission is simple: deliver smarter systems that power real-world performance.

We’re now looking for a D365 Finance & Operations Functional Consultant to join our Digital Technology Team in Christchurch and play a key role in our Drive:365 Programme — migrating our legacy DMS into Microsoft D365 Finance & Operations.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role where you’ll take ownership of Finance-led functional design and delivery across D365 F&O.

You’ll work closely with stakeholders to ensure the platform is configured, optimised, and delivering measurable business value — from fit-gap and design through to go-live and stabilisation.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead fit-gap analysis and functional design
• Configure and optimise D365 modules, workflows, and controls
• Translate business requirements into scalable, standard (“vanilla”) solutions
• Support data migration, testing, cutover, and hypercare activities
• Provide hands-on functional support, including issue resolution and root cause analysis
• Partner with implementation vendors and internal teams to ensure successful delivery
• Drive process standardisation, data quality, and governance improvements
• Contribute to the Drive:365 roadmap, shaping how the business operates in the future

What We’re Looking For

Essential

• At least 3 years’ experience as a D365 Functional Consultant
• Strong Finance and/or Supply Chain expertise
• The ability to confidently lead conversations with business stakeholders
• Experience working in ERP transformation or implementation environments

Highly Desirable

• Experience with Autoline or other DMS platforms
• Understanding of data migration, integrations, and reconciliation processes
• Experience working with implementation partners or vendors

Key Strengths

• Excellent communication skills — able to engage teams and senior stakeholders
• Strong analytical thinking and structured problem-solving
• Ability to balance best practice vs practical business needs
• A proactive, ownership-driven mindset

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a large-scale transformation (Drive:365) with real impact
• Work in a modern Christchurch office (Waterloo Business Park)
• Join a team that values clarity, collaboration, and delivery
• Opportunity to own outcomes, not just tasks
• Play a key role in shaping our future-state platform

Working Details

• Full-time, 40 hours per week (Monday to Friday)
• Christchurch-based
