Microsoft Dynamics NAV CoE Lead

Svitla Systems Inc. is looking for a Microsoft Dynamics NAV CoE Lead and Consultant for a full-time position (40 hours per week) in Europe. Our client is a distributor of pet food. 

You'll stabilize, govern, and progressively sunset NAV while the organization migrates core ERP and customer capabilities to SAP and other strategic platforms, including Annex Cloud. The role is focused on business continuity during transition, migration enablement, and the eventual decommissioning of NAV. The successful consultant will ensure NAV supports transformation rather than slowing it down. 

Requirements:

• 8–10 years of experience in senior-level Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

• In-depth understanding of ERP migration, transition, and decommissioning programs.

• Strong knowledge of SAP ERP transformations, Annex Cloud or similar customer/loyalty platforms, and system coexistence/sunset strategies.

• Experience in troubleshooting and/or developing bidirectional integrations between SAP and NAV across retail data domains such as products, pricing, promotions, customers, and transactions.

• Experience with LS Retail + NAV integration environments and transition models where NAV’s role is gradually reduced in favor of SAP.

• Familiarity with Salesforce Commerce Cloud integration impacts and broader commerce/customer platform ecosystems involving Salesforce platforms and Annex Cloud.

• Ability to operate with strong architectural discipline and organizational authority.

Responsibilities:

• Act as the temporary owner of Microsoft Dynamics NAV, maintaining operational stability during the transition period.

• Maintain a living NAV inventory covering functional scope, customizations, integrations, and data domains, while classifying functionality as migrated, temporarily retained, or to be retired.

• Support migration activities to SAP and Annex Cloud, including data readiness, mapping, reconciliation, cutover support, and identification of NAV constraints that may block migration.

• Govern SAP–NAV–Annex Cloud coexistence by defining system-of-record boundaries and preventing duplication of capabilities across platforms.

• Act as gatekeeper for NAV change requests, allowing only business-critical, legally required, or migration-supporting changes, while reducing technical debt and retiring unused functionality.

• Oversee NAV’s role in integrations across POS, e-commerce, finance, and BI, and support progressive rerouting of integrations to SAP or other target systems.

• Align vendors and integrators, including SAP, Annex Cloud, middleware, and BI partners, to ensure all work supports the NAV sunset strategy.

• Define and execute NAV decommissioning criteria, including data retention, archiving, audit/compliance obligations, cutover, and post-shutdown validation.

• Troubleshoot and/or develop integrations across SAP, NAV, LS Retail POS, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and related connected systems. It includes triage of mapping, transformation, scheduling, authentication, and payload issues.

Success in this role looks like:

• NAV does not constrain SAP and Annex Cloud deployments.

• NAV scope and complexity decrease steadily over time.

• No strategic functionality remains trapped in NAV.

• NAV can be fully and safely decommissioned without operational disruption.

We offer

• US and EU projects based on advanced technologies.

• Competitive compensation based on skills and experience.

• Flexibility in workspace, either remote or our welcoming office.

• Bonuses for article writing, public talks, and other activities.

• Free tech webinars and meetups organized by Svitla.

• Regular corporate online activities.

• Awesome team, friendly and supportive community!
