Power Platform / D365 Technical Lead

As a Power Platform / D365 Technical Lead, you will act as the technical authority across project delivery, leading the design and implementation of scalable, secure and maintainable Microsoft business application solutions. You will combine hands-on technical capability with leadership responsibility, shaping solutions, guiding development teams and interfacing directly with customers to ensure high-quality outcomes.  This role is not purely architectural or managerial. You are expected to remain close to the technical detail, actively contributing to complex solution design, integration architecture and troubleshooting, while setting the standard for engineering quality across the team.  Given the pace of change across the Microsoft ecosystem, you will also play a critical role in continuously evolving how solutions are designed and delivered. This includes staying current with Microsoft’s platform evolution, including Copilot, Power Platform enhancements and the shift towards AI-driven and agentic business solutions. You will be expected to assess emerging capabilities, guide their pragmatic adoption in customer solutions and ensure that delivery approaches remain aligned to modern, future-fit patterns.  You will work closely with architects, product owners and stakeholders to translate business requirements into robust, supportable solutions, while balancing best practice with delivery pragmatism. The role requires strong integration expertise, technical leadership across distributed teams and the ability to build confidence with customers through clear, credible technical guidance.  • Lead solution design, build and delivery across varying Power Platform and D365 (CE) projects  • Own technical quality, standards and deliverables  • Design and build integrations using APIs, connectors and Azure services  • Work directly with customers to refine requirements  • Guide ALM, DevOps and deployment approaches  • Mentor developers and lead distributed teams  Essential skills  • 7+ years Power Platform/D365 delivery  • Strong leadership skills & communication skills  • Strong Model Driven App, Canvas App, Custom Pages, Power Pages, Power Automate, Dataverse  • Experience of implementing D365 CE modules such as Sales, Customer Service, Contact Centre, Customer Insights  • Front end development experience using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Liquid Template  • Strong server-side development experience C#/.Net  • Strong experience using Plugins, Custom Workflow Activities, Custom APIs  • Integration experience with REST APIs/custom connectors  • Azure Integration Knowledge - Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Service Bus  • ALM and CI/CD experience  • Azure DevOps + Agile Practices  • Comprehensive understanding of Non-Functional Requirements  • Strong customer-facing skills  • Relevant MS Certifications   Why Version 1?    At Version 1, we believe in providing our employees with a comprehensive benefits package that prioritises their wellbeing, professional growth, and financial stability.   • Share in our success with our Quarterly Performance-Related Profit Share Scheme, where employees collectively benefit from a share of our company's profits   • Strong Career Progression & mentorship coaching through our Strength in Balance & Leadership schemes with a dedicated quarterly Pathways Career Development programme   • Flexible/remote working, Version 1 is tremendously understanding of life events and people’s individual circumstances and offer flexibility to help achieve a healthy work life balance   • Financial Wellbeing initiatives including; Pension, Private Healthcare Cover, Life Assurance, Financial advice and an Employee Discount scheme   • Employee Wellbeing schemes including Gym Discounts, Bike to Work, Fitne
