The programme manages deep integration with the wider ecosystem including POS, WMS, EDI, middleware, retail, and enterprise systems.\nThe D365 Ecosystem Technical Architect plays a critical role within the Solution Architecture team in ensuring technical integrity and scalability excellence across this landscape.\nYour role @ Chanel\nAs the D365 Ecosystem Architect, you act as the technical solution authority across a complex enterprise environment. You bring solution clarity by driving alignment across various teams with different priorities, ways of working to achieve solution standardisation. You sit at the intersection of business strategy, solution design, and delivery execution, shaping how D365 integrates and evolves globally. You work closely with integration architects, solution architects, developers, engineering/product teams and cross functional teams. This role demands structured thinking, clear communication, and the ability to simplify complexity within a fast-paced transformation.\nThe impact you can create at Chanel\n1. End-to-End Technical Solution Architecture Ownership\nCoordinate end-to-end architecture across parallel workstreams/programmes-aligning scope boundaries, ownership, dependencies, and sequencing-to prevent divergence/duplicated solutions and avoid solution gaps in end-to-end processes.\nCreate and own the End 2 End multi system technical architecture blueprint for D365 that connects with Power Platform, Azure services, Fabric, key Tier-1 systems and any regional applications.\nEnsure cohesive, scalable, and secure end-to-end technical solutions across regions.\nShape and evolve the long-term architecture roadmap.\n2. Technical Leadership & Delivery Oversight\nAssess end-to-end solution impact of changes and ensure they are reflected in architecture decisions, technical specifications, and delivery plans across teams.\nEnforce architectural standards, extensibility models, and event-driven patterns.\nReview and approve specifications, customisations, and integrations that impact end to end process flows across multiple systems.\nFacilitate cross-system design alignment with solution owners (POS, WMS, EDI, middleware, data platform, identity/security), ensuring decisions are understood, documented, and governable.\nSupport environment and build strategy by working closely with the Product Team Technical Manager.\n3. Quality Assurance & Development Governance\nEnsure development follows Microsoft-recommended patterns (extensions, event-driven design) and solution architecture guardrails.\n4. Integration & Data Architecture Support\nSupport integration architects to enforce integration patterns, API design, messaging, and middleware.\nOversee data migration standards and contribute to data governance strategy.\nCollaborate with Fabric and data teams on reporting requirements, lineage, quality, and master data.\n5. Continuous Improvement & Innovation\nStay abreast of Microsoft’s D365 and Power Platform roadmap(Aligning with internal Chanel Power Platform Roadmap).\nRecommend enhancements and optimisation opportunities and contribute to the solution roadmap.\n6. Solution Risk & Governance\nMaintain the End-to-End solution risk register and mitigation plans.\nEnsure consistent architectural guardrails across global teams and partners.\nUphold non-functional requirements (performance, resilience, security).\n7. Typical Deliverables\nCore solution architecture artefacts for the D365 ecosystem (target-state views, integration maps, NFRs, infrastructure/infosec and Azure service considerations).\nConfirm the end-to-end scope of technical specifications (internal and partner) across D365, integrations, Power Platform, and Tier-1 systems, working with stakeholders and system owners to align responsibilities, interfaces, and delivery expectations.\nEnd to End solution risk register and mitigation plans\nContributions to solution roadmap and multi-instance strategy\nYou are energized by\nWorking within a complex landscapeglobal systems, Multiple ERP (D365,SAP,AX), Multiple POS (Oracle, Cegid, Dynamics, TTPOS), WMS (D365,Manhattan), BI systems.\nSolving integration and data challenges across a high-volume, multi-region landscape. \nBringing clarity and translating complex needs into simple, actionable technical designs. \nChampioning standardisation, guiding teams on when to extend vs. use out-of-the-box capabilities. \nCollaborating with architects, infrastructure teams, product owners, developers, and enterprise teams to drive aligned outcomes. \nEnforcing architectural guardrails that keep the global solution consistent and resilient and elevating technical capability across partners. \nWorking in a fast-paced transformation where architectural decisions have real business impact. Turning complex problems into well-structured solutions and clear documentation. \nKeeping ahead of Microsoft’s roadmap and identifying opportunities to innovate and optimise. \nWhat you will bring\nExperience\n10 years in ERP as a Solution/Technical Architect or Technical/Functional Lead - preferrable in D365 F&O or AX 2012 but not mandatory.\nProven experience owning end-to-end solution scope across a complex, high-integration, enterprise-scale multi-system ecosystem, aligning parallel workstreams on scope boundaries, system ownership, dependencies, and sequencing across teams and divisions.\nExperience with modernisation initiatives: cloud migration, modularisation, API-driven architecture.\nCross-Functional Soft Skills\nStrong stakeholder management across divisions and regions: builds trust, listens actively, and adapts communication style to different audiences.\nFacilitation and alignment: leads workshops to converge on scope, ownership boundaries, and architectural decisions across parallel workstreams.\nInfluence without authority: able to challenge constructively, navigate differing priorities, and gain commitment to standardisation and global guardrails.\nConflict resolution and negotiation: mediates trade-offs (time/cost/risk/complexity) and drives timely decisions when teams disagree.\nComfortable operating in ambiguity: creates clarity from incomplete information and maintains momentum in a fast-paced programme environment.\nCommunication: produces clear decision papers, options, and recommendations that enable fast, informed governance.\nCoaching and collaboration mindset: elevates architecture quality across internal teams and partners through feedback, guidance, and pragmatic guardrails.\nSkilled at documenting architecture artefacts for business and technical audiences.\nArchitecture Skills\nApplication architecture: DDD, modular monoliths, microservices, API gateways.\nNon-functional architecture: scalability, resilience, observability, DR, SLAs.\nTechnical architecture: reference models, interim and target-state design, roadmaps.\nDevOps : manage architecture deliverables, decisions, and cross-system dependencies as Azure DevOps work items and keep backlogs visible and current across the teams.\n(useful, not mandatory)\nEnterprise frameworks: TOGAF/Zachman/ArchiMate\nIntegration architecture: APIs, events, microservices, messaging, security boundaries.\nData architecture familiarity: Fabric, data governance, modelling, quality & lineage.\nSecurity-by-design: IAM, encryption, threat modelling, compliance.\nCloud architecture familiarity: Azure, identity, security, cost optimisation.\nWhat Chanel can offer you\nChanel provides an inclusive environment that encourages personal growth and collective progress.
