Position summary

Huron Canada is looking for a Finance Lead to bring deep finance business acumen to Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management implementations for manufacturing and automotive clients. This is a Lead role, not a Solution Architect role: the primary mandate is to understand a client's financial operations, close process, cost accounting, and financial reporting, deeply enough to shape business process design and hold finance stakeholders through it, working side by side with the solution architecture and technical teams who own the underlying system build. The Lead directs how AI-enabled tools, including Copilot and Dynamics 365 AI-driven forecasting and automation capabilities, are used in workshops, requirements capture, and testing to increase the speed and quality of the implementation. This is an on-site role based in the Toronto,



Ontario area and requires Canadian citizenship.
