Description
At Cortland, we operate with a forward-thinking approach that challenges conventional norms and actively seeks insights beyond traditional industry boundaries. As a recognized leader in the multifamily sector, our focus on performance, innovation, and disciplined execution continues to drive strong growth and market leadership. We are committed to building a best-in-class organization by empowering top talent with the resources, autonomy, and support needed to deliver results and advance their careers in a high-performance environment. Role Overview
As the Senior Technical Lead for Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O, you will serve as the in-house platform expert and a critical member of the Enterprise Applications team. This role represents the senior technical voice for F&O at Cortland, with ownership across how the platform is configured, extended, integrated and operated on day-to-day basis, while working closely with the Director of Enterprise Applications and VP on architectural direction. Your deep knowledge and expertise will help shape how F&O participates in Cortland’s wider technology landscape and finance processes.
This position is designed for an influential, hands-on technical leader who goes beyond gathering requirements and workshop facilitation—someone who can critically evaluate business needs, challenge assumptions where needed, and translate them into pragmatic, high-quality F&O solutions. You will bring a strong point of view on platform capabilities, best practices, and trade-offs, ensuring decisions are both technically sound and aligned to long-term strategy.
Additionally, you will play a key role in cross-platform collaboration, working closely with the Enterprise Integration & Automation (EIA) team as integrations between F&O and other platforms are designed, executed and delivered. Acting as the F&O subject matter expert, you will help define data flows, integration patterns and solution decisions to ensure they align with the platform architecture and the operating model.
F&O Solution Design & Configuration
Lead the functional design for F&O, recommending how Cortland's finance processes should be configured within the platform, including financial dimensions, chart of accounts, workflows, approval hierarchies, and module-level setup. While a more junior team will carry out much of the routine configuration, you will guide the approach, review their work, and step in hands-on where complexity demands it.
Ensure that configuration decisions are well-reasoned, properly documented, and maintainable, not just technically correct but right for Cortland's operating model and long-term platform strategy.
Provide expert input on design questions raised by Product Managers, implementation partners, or finance stakeholders, giving clear, well-grounded recommendations.
Assess enhancement requests and change proposals against the existing F&O configuration to identify downstream impacts, risks, and the most effective approach to delivery.
Keep pace with Microsoft's F&O release cycle, understanding what is changing, what new capabilities are becoming available, and how they may be relevant to Cortland.
Apply judgment on where to extend F&O: in-platform via X++ extensions, externally via Power Platform, Business Events, or Azure Functions, or through Dataverse and integration. Avoid both over-customization in X++ and over-reliance on external orchestration.
Integration Partnership with EIA
Act as the F&O subject matter expert for all integration workstreams; this is one of the most critical aspects of the role.
Work closely with the Enterprise Integration & Automation team during integration design: providing detailed knowledge of F&O data structures, entities, APIs, and constraints so that integration decisions are grounded in reality.
Participate in field mapping sessions, review data flow designs, and
