Role introduction

Solution Specialist - Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

Location: UK (Hybrid)
Practice: Advisory

About HSO

HSO is a Business Transformation Partner with deep industry expertise and global reach. As one of Microsoft's leading partners, we help organisations unlock the full value of Microsoft technology through business-led transformation, industry knowledge and exceptional delivery capability.

Our Advisory practice helps customers understand how technology can solve real business challenges, creating compelling visions for transformation and building confidence in investment decisions.

As demand for intelligent supply chain solutions continues to grow, we're looking for a Solution Specialist - Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management (SCM) to help customers understand the possibilities of Dynamics 365 and the wider Microsoft ecosystem.


The Role

As a Solution Specialist - Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, you'll play a key role in helping customers envision and realise modern supply chain transformation.

Your primary focus will be Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, supporting prospect and customer engagements through discovery, solution demonstrations, workshops and presales activities. You'll help organisations understand how Dynamics 365 can improve operational efficiency, inventory visibility, planning, procurement and warehouse operations through compelling, business-focused storytelling and solution demonstrations.

This role is ideally suited to someone who is confident across the common, everyday areas of Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management and enjoys engaging directly with customers.

You don't need to be an expert in every aspect of the wider Dynamics 365 estate from day one. More important is your curiosity, adaptability and willingness to continuously expand your expertise across adjacent Microsoft technologies and business applications.

Working within HSO's Advisory practice, you'll collaborate closely with Enterprise Architects, Sales teams and solution specialists to help shape opportunities, strengthen bids and demonstrate the value of Microsoft's business applications platform.


A Key Mission of the Role

One of the most important objectives of this role is to establish and grow a scalable demonstration capability for Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
