Overview
This is a Senior Solution Engineer dedicated to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365 F&O), complemented by the Power Platform stack — Power Apps, Power Automate Desktop (PAD), and Copilot Studio: You will work with Japan-headquartered multinationals stationed in the Americas region (Mainly the USA) evaluating D365 F&O for their overseas entities — global subsidiaries, regional shared service centers, and multi-country transformations. Alongside Microsoft account teams and SI/ISV partners, you will demonstrate how agentic AI, low-code, and RPA extend a modern ERP, and influence customer architecture choices in Microsoft's favor.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical win for D365 F&O opportunities across Japan Global Accounts — from first executive briefing to signed deal.
- Lead customer envisioning sessions, solution demos, POCs, and Proof-of-Value engagements; translate business problems into compelling "art of the possible" stories.
- Partner with account executives on account planning, qualification, RFP/RFI responses, pricing strategy, and competitive positioning against SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Fusion, Workday, and regional ERPs.
- Deliver executive briefings to CFOs, COOs, CIOs at Japan HQ and overseas entity leadership — in Japanese and English.
- Handoff qualified, technically-validated opportunities to SI partners for implementation; you do not lead the delivery.
D365 F&O — AI Agent ERP Storytelling
- Demonstrate how AI agents reimagine finance and supply chain including but not limited to AP/AR automation, intelligent bank reconciliation, GL anomaly detection, predictive inventory, autonomous procurement, supplier risk monitoring.
- Articulate global ERP value for Japanese multinationals — multi-entity, multi-currency, multi-language, localization, global consolidation, intercompany — at the vision and capability level.
- Leverage Microsoft portfolio such as D365 F&O + Fabric + Copilot story as one integrated platform.
Power Platform Pre-Sales (Power Apps, PAD, Copilot Studio)
- Demo Power Apps as the natural extension of D365 F&O for tailored user experiences and mobile frontline scenarios.
- Demo Power Automate Desktop (PAD) as the bridge between D365 F&O and legacy/local systems used in overseas entities — positioning RPA as a migration and coexistence accelerator.
- Demo Copilot Studio agents that sit on top of D365 F&O to transform user productivity — conversational finance assistants, supplier onboarding agents, multi-agent orchestration.
- Communicate Power Platform governance and licensing at the architectural level (not hands-on ALM delivery).
Competitive & Ecosystem Influence
- Stay ahead of the D365 F&O roadmap, competitive landscape, and agentic AI trends in ERP.
- Partner closely with SI partners and ISVs — enable their pre-sales teams, co-present at customer meetings, and drive joint pipeline.
- Provide structured feedback to Microsoft product groups from customer engagements.
- Represent Microsoft at industry events, executive roundtables, and customer advisory boards.
