This is a delivery leadership role at the work-package level, not an architect or people-manager role. The Senior Associate receives an assigned scope, determines how to use available resources, owns technical tasks and documentation through completion, provides guidance to junior team members, and makes fact-based recommendations to project and practice leadership.
What Success Looks Like
• Produces secure, maintainable, testable Dynamics 365 solutions that meet documented acceptance criteria and follow extension-first design practices.
• Owns a defined technical work package from clarification and design through build, test, defect resolution, deployment support, and knowledge transfer.
• Explains technical scope, dependencies, options, risks, and trade-offs clearly to functional consultants, client technical teams, and engagement leadership.
• Anticipates issues, maintains accurate RAID and delivery documentation, and escalates early when architecture, scope, quality, security, or timeline decisions are required.
• Improves team capability by conducting code walkthroughs, sharing reusable patterns, and coaching Analysts, Senior Analysts, and Associates.
