Job Description:
Role Overview:
We are seeking an exceptional Technical Team Lead to join our Microsoft Biz Apps, AI Transformation practice, who is passionate about technology, self-driven learning, and building high-performing teams. This role is foundational to our India-based delivery model and has potential to evolve into a Practice or Domain Lead position.
You will build and lead our next wave of talent— techno-functional consultants who don’t just execute, but shape solutions, handle ambiguity, and engage clients directly. You’ll scale a team that can lead end-to-end delivery from India across Microsoft Business Applications (primarily D365 Finance & Operations and Customer Engagement), the Power Platform, and Azure—with working fluency in AI/automation where it accelerates outcomes. Think capability builder first, individual contributor second: you’ll set standards, hire and grow talent, and partner with US-based Client Leads/Architects to expand the scope and complexity of India-led work.
This isn’t a traditional management role. We are looking for a hands-on, tech-forward leader —someone who leads by example in continuously evolving their technical capabilities and inspires others to do the same. Think capability builder first, individual contributor second: you’ll set standards, hire and grow talent, and partner with US-based Client Leads/Architects to expand the scope and complexity of India-led work in the areas of techno-functional client delivery, AI, automation, and modern business applications. This role is foundational to our India-based delivery model and has potential to evolve into a Practice or Domain Lead position.
Key Responsibilities:
Capability & Delivery Leadership:
Own delivery outcomes for India-led/pod-based teams across D365 integrations/extensions (primarily FnO and CE), Power Platform, CoPilot, pro code tooling and adjacent Azure services.
Model technical excellence through continuous, self-driven learning—especially across Microsoft’s evolving platforms.
Lead the team in adopting analytics, automation, and scalable application architectures.
Push boundaries on the type and complexity of work India-based teams can lead and deliver.
Convert half-baked requirements into clear plans; keep teams moving with sound assumptions and tight feedback loops.
Raise the ceiling on what’s delivered from India: push for techno-functional ownership, client workshops, and co-leading engagements
Build & Elevate Talent:
Identify and grow raw talent with strong problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills.
Hire for learning agility, problem solving, and communication—not just tool keywords.
Develop capability leaders who multiply expertise across the team (cross-training, resiliency, repeatable assets).
Establish clear development paths, training plans, and ongoing feedback mechanisms to elevate team performance.
Foster a culture of accountability, excellence, and constructive feedback; set crisp quality bars and “definition of done.”
Client-Centric Thinking:
Promote a business-outcome mindset—ensuring teams focus on solving real client problems, not just executing tasks.
Collaborate with global team members to refine Crowe’s delivery approach, tools, and methodologies.
Expand the types of engagements India-based teams can lead or co-lead, especially in innovation and transformation efforts.
AI Transformation for Clients (External):
Lead solutioning & tool selection on Microsoft (Copilot for D365/Power Platform, Azure OpenAI/ML, Cognitive Search/Fabric, etc.) and integrate with Biz Apps.
Define repeatable patterns (RAG/grounding, function calling, evaluation/telemetry) with security, compliance, and cost controls; take POCs to production.
Co-lead client workshops and delivery; set acceptance criteria tied to business outcomes and enable client teams with playbooks.
AI Enablement for Delivery Excellence (Internal):
Champion ChatGPT Enterprise: build internal GPTs/workflows for solutioning, estimates, test/data generation, code/documentation, and knowledge retrieval.
Operationalize AI in the SDLC and maintain a governed prompt/asset library
Measure and scale adoption (hours saved, cycle time, defect leakage, proposal throughput); run training/champions program and optimize usage/cost.
Qualifications:
Mandatory
10+ years in the Microsoft stack with deep delivery leadership in D365 Biz Apps (FO/AX and CRM/CE) plus hands-on experience across Power Platform and Azure (Logic Apps, Functions, Service Bus, ADO, etc.).
Strong architecture/solutioning skills (extensions, integrations, data migration, performance, security/compliance).
Proven track record of continuous learning and adapting to rapidly evolving technologies.
Proven record leading offshore/nearshore teams to own complex workstreams, not just execute tasks; direct client-facing experience is a must
Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to coach and influence at all levels.
Preferred
Experience building capability pods/CoEs; track record of hiring, coaching, and succession planning.
Practical exposure to Copilot for D365/Power Platform or Azure OpenAI in enterprise scenarios.
Manufacturing Industry/domain depth
Certifications: MB-300/MB-500, PL-200/PL-400, AZ-204/AZ-305 (or equivalent experience)
