Dynamics 365 Contact Center & Customer Service Architect
Shape Customer and Colleague Service Experiences with KPMG UK
KPMG’s Microsoft Business Solutions practice is one of the most experienced and fastest‑growing Microsoft transformation teams in the UK. We work with organisations to modernise customer service and contact centre operations using Dynamics 365 Contact Center, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Power Platform, and Copilot‑enabled experiences.
Our focus is on designing service models that work in practice — across voice and digital channels, agent and supervisor experiences, and end‑to‑end customer journeys. We value clarity, empathy for users, and functional designs that are grounded in real operational needs.
The Role
As a Functional Architect specialising in Dynamics 365 Contact Center and Customer Service, you will be responsible for owning the functional design of modern contact centre and service solutions.
You will work closely with clients, product owners and delivery teams to understand service operations, customer journeys and business outcomes, and translate them into clear, implementable functional designs using standard Dynamics 365 capabilities wherever possible.
This is a hands‑on delivery role. You will lead functional workshops, shape solution configuration, guide functional consultants, and support delivery through build, test and go‑live. You will partner closely with Technical Architects to ensure functional designs are feasible, scalable and aligned to the overall solution architecture.
Key Responsibilities
Functional Solution Design
- Own the functional design of Dynamics 365 Contact Center and Customer Service solutions, covering cases, interactions, queues, routing, knowledge, and service processes.
- Translate business requirements into clear functional designs, user stories and configuration approaches.
- Drive a “configure first” mindset, minimising unnecessary customisation.
Contact Center & Omnichannel Design
- Design end‑to‑end service journeys across voice, chat, email, messaging and social channels.
- Define queue models, skills, routing rules and work distribution, aligned to operational goals.
- Shape agent and supervisor experiences, including productivity tools, dashboards and insights.
Client & Stakeholder Engagement
- Lead functional workshops with service leaders, operations teams and frontline users.
- Act as a trusted functional advisor, helping clients understand product capabilities, constraints and trade‑offs.
- Clearly articulate functional options and recommend practical solutions.
Configuration & Delivery Support
- Guide and review configuration across Customer Service Hub, Contact Center capabilities and Power Platform.
- Support functional testing, UAT preparation and defect triage.
- Remain actively involved through go‑live and early‑life support.
Adoption, Quality & Governance
- Design with adoption in mind, considering usability, role clarity and operational readiness.
- Ensure functional designs support reporting, quality management and continuous improvement.
- Maintain clear and usable functional documentation.
Collaboration with Technical Architecture
- Work closely with Technical Architects to align functional requirements with technical design.
- Highlight non‑functional considerations early, including performance, scalability and security.
- Support integration and data design discussions from a functional perspective.
Presales & Early Shaping
- Contribute to proposals, demos and early solution shaping for contact centre and service transformations.
- Support estimations and scope definition by clearly articulating functional complexity and dependencies.
