As the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Enterprise Practice Director, you will lead the strategic direction, operational performance, growth, and profitability of an enterprise consulting practice spanning Customer Engagement (CE) and Finance & Operations (F&O) across North America. You will drive a fundamental transformation toward an AI-first business model, embedding Microsoft Copilot, Azure AI, and intelligent automation into client solutions and service delivery.
