Software Engineering Lead (MS Dynamics & CRM) (m/f/d)

(unlimited, full-time) Join our team at our location in Verl, Baden-Baden or Berlin – flexible working conditions available

Are you ready to lead the transformation of a mission‑critical Microsoft Dynamics platform that has grown large and complex over time? We are looking for an experienced Software Engineering Lead (m/f/d) to guide our senior, highly skilled Dynamics & Power Platform team in taking our CRM landscape to the next level. This is more than a leadership role — it’s an opportunity to streamline, optimise, and re‑architect a platform that underpins Sales, Marketing, and Operations, making it leaner, more accessible to other systems, and ready for future innovation. You’ll be working with a team that is highly knowledgeable, creative, and solution‑oriented — colleagues who think beyond the obvious and bring ideas from across disciplines. 

Key Responsibilities

Platform transformation & optimisation

• Lead the strategic evolution and rationalisation of a large, complex Dynamics 365 platform, ensuring it becomes more efficient, maintainable, and accessible for integration with other systems.
• Identify opportunities to retire or simplify processes, while modernising architecture and functionality.

Team leadership & empowerment

• Lead, mentor, and inspire a team of ~8 senior Dynamics engineers — fostering autonomy, creativity, and proactive solution finding.
• Encourage the team to think beyond stakeholder requests, initiating proposals that enhance business processes and deliver measurable impact.

Technical strategy & delivery

• Own technical strategy and roadmaps for Dynamics 365 (Sales & Marketing) and Power Platform solutions, balancing new features, modernisation, and operational stability.
• Oversee architecture, configuration, data model governance, and integrations with other business systems and Azure services.
• Ensure system performance, scalability, and reliable change/release management.

Innovation & AI enablement

• Drive adoption of Power Platform capabilities (Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, Power BI).
• Embed AI / Copilot functionality into production workflows to improve efficiency and user experience.
• Maintain close collaboration with Microsoft to adopt new features early and follow best practices.

Stakeholder partnership

• Act as the primary technical sparring partner for Sales, Marketing, and Operations stakeholders.
• Translate business needs into robust, scalable CRM solutions — with a focus on proactive engagement, not just reactive delivery.
• Ensure transparency on progress, risks, and priorities through clear communication and reporting.

Engineering excellence

• Implement and enforce development, testing, CI/CD, and DevOps standards to improve delivery speed and quality.
• Promote best practices across development, deployment, and documentation.

Required Skills & Experience

• 7+ years working with Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM, with hands‑on experience in Sales & Marketing modules.
• Proven expertise in Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, Power BI).
• Strong understanding of system architecture, API integrations and Azure deployment patterns.
• Practical experience integrating AI or Copilot features in Dynamics/Power Platform environments.
• Track record of leading engineering teams or large CRM projects, with excellent stakeholder management skills.
• Agile mindset, familiar with DevOps and CI/CD practices.
• Microsoft Dynamics / Power Platform certifications are a plus.
• Fluent English; German is a plus.
• Willingness to travel within Germany and internationally.
• Self‑starter with a high drive to deliver in a fast‑moving, international environment.
