Business Central Techno-Functional Consultant / AL Developer

Role Overview:

We are looking for a commercially minded, hands-on Business Central Technical/Functional Consultant / AL Developer to help improve and simplify the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central layer of One Retail Group. Based from our Bengaluru office, you will work with teams across the UK, China and other markets, supporting systems that sit at the heart of our finance, stock and operational processes.

This is not a narrow support role or traditional ERP admin position. Business Central is a core system for the business, and we need someone who understands both the technical build and the impact that accurate, reliable systems have on day-to-day performance.

You will work across Business Central improvements covering finance, inventory, reporting, integrations and operational workflows. The role involves maintaining and improving existing customisations as well as building new solutions where they are genuinely needed.

We need someone who can understand a business problem, shape the right Business Central solution, build it safely, test it properly, explain it clearly and support it after release. Over time, you will also help us build stronger internal ownership of our Business Central environment.

Key Responsibilities:

Business Central Development:

• Build and maintain Business Central extensions, custom pages, reports, APIs and integrations.

• Develop confidently in AL and work with Business Central extension architecture.

• Improve existing customisations without defaulting to unnecessary rewrites.

• Use modern development tools, including AI-assisted workflows where appropriate, without compromising reliability, auditability or business accuracy.

• Build solutions that are reliable, supportable and safe for live business use.

Systems Improvement and Support:

• Investigate Business Central issues, identify root causes and implement reliable fixes.

• Work carefully on systems that support finance, stock and operational processes.

• Make sure changes preserve the correct business meaning, not just the technical output.

• Test changes properly before release and support UAT where needed.

Finance, Stock and Process Understanding:

• Work with finance, operations and technical stakeholders to understand real-world problems.

• Translate business requirements into practical Business Central solutions.

• Know when an issue is technical, functional, accounting-related or process-related.

• Protect accuracy, auditability and operational continuity.

Integrations, Reporting and Data:

• Support data flowing into and out of Business Central from ecommerce, marketplace, warehouse, reporting and operational systems.

• Help maintain safe integration points into Business Central.

• Understand duplicate prevention, exception handling and data validation.

• Support reporting and analytics requirements using Business Central data.

• Experience with Microsoft Fabric, data lakehouse concepts, Power BI or similar reporting environments would be beneficial.

Future Ownership:

• Help create clearer internal knowledge around Business Central customisations and business logic.

• Support practical standards for development, testing, documentation and release control.

• Lead by example as a hands-on builder and problem solver.

Ideal Candidate:

• 5+ years’ experience working with ERP or business-critical finance/operations systems, including 3+ years hands-on with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and AL development.

• Has built or maintained Business Central extensions, pages, reports, APIs or integrations.

• Understands finance, inventory, sales, purchasing, reporting or operational processes.

• Has debugged real Business Central issues in a live or business-critical environment.

• Comfortable working on systems where accuracy and reliability matter.

• Able to improve existing customisations, not just build new ones.

• Practical, commercially aware and able to explain issues clearly in plain English.

• Comfortable working with finance, operations and technical stakeholders.

• Careful with testing, audit trail and production change control.

• Experience with Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, data lakehouse architecture or reporting data models would be a strong advantage.

• Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools responsibly to speed up analysis, debugging and documentation, while still owning the quality and accuracy of the final work.

• Takes ownership, spots risks and cares about building systems the business can rely on.
