• Contribute to internal IP development, delivery standards, templates, and accelerators
• Stay up to date with the LS Central roadmap and new feature releases
• Lead functional QA and solution assurance across assigned projects

What will you bring?

• 5+ years’ experience delivering LS Retail / LS Central solutions (preferably in both on‑prem and SaaS environments)
• Strong knowledge of D365 Business Central, particularly in retail, POS, and back‑office operations
• Deep understanding of retail business processes, including promotions, inventory, pricing, loyalty, and store operations
• Proven experience leading or mentoring functional consultants and supporting delivery teams
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills – able to manage workshops, demos, and client relationships confidently
• Experience across full project lifecycles including scoping, gap‑fit analysis, UAT, training, and post‑go‑live
• Strong documentation and solution design skills
• Microsoft certifications such as MB‑800 and any LS Retail‑specific accreditations are highly desirable
• Previous experience in international/multi‑country retail rollouts is a plus
• Ability to travel as needed to support key clients and project delivery
