Goaco is seeking an experienced Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Insights & Journeys consultant (outside IR35) to support a public-sector client with the migration and consolidation of its marketing, event delegate management and webinar capabilities.
The consultant will act as a trusted technical adviser and work collaboratively with the client’s internal teams to design, configure, migrate and transition services into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Insights & Journeys within an existing Dynamics 365 CRM environment.

The migration is expected to cover:
- ClickDimensions
- Spotler Communicator
- Eventbrite
- GoToWebinar
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Insights & Journeys
The successful consultant will provide hands-on implementation expertise while enabling the client’s internal team to understand, operate and support the resulting solution.
Key responsibilities

- Define and implement the approach for migrating relevant data, templates, lists, preferences and operational processes from the incumbent platforms.
- Design or configure event registration, delegate management and webinar-related capabilities and integrations.
- Support data mapping, cleansing, migration, reconciliation and validation.
- Ensure the implementation complies with UK GDPR, consent, subscription and communications-preference requirements.
- Identify technical dependencies, delivery risks and decisions that could affect the January 2027 cutover.
- Work iteratively with client product, technical, operational and marketing stakeholders.
- Produce proportionate technical documentation, configuration records, support guidance and knowledge-transfer materials.
- Support testing, defect resolution, deployment, cutover planning and early-life support.
- Provide technical coaching and knowledge transfer to the client’s internal teams.
- Work in accordance with the Government Service Manual and an iterative agile delivery approach.
