About the Role
AIM is seeking a commercially minded Dynamics 365 Functional Consultant who can connect business needs with technology, lead compelling customer conversations, and turn opportunities into clearly defined projects.
This role combines business discovery, functional solution design, project scoping, presales, demonstrations, and marketing support. You will work closely with our sales, delivery, and marketing teams to help customers understand the value of Dynamics 365 and establish a practical path to implementation.
The ideal candidate brings experience across ERP and CRM, with deep hands-on expertise in at least one core Dynamics 365 area and the ability to shape solutions across interconnected business processes.
