Development Director

Fractional Microsoft Dynamics Development Director Service

Hire a Microsoft Dynamics Development Director on a Part Time, Fractional basis to coordinate ERP delivery, align teams and improve execution.

The problem isn't ideas. It's execution.

Microsoft Dynamics delivery challenges rarely stem from a single build or extension. They arise when multiple teams, partners and workstreams lose alignment, priorities compete and no one owns delivery at a senior, end-to-end level.

The Fractional Microsoft Dynamics Development Director Service from Cogent2 provides senior, part time leadership for organisations running Microsoft Dynamics Business Central or Dynamics 365 where delivery spans custom development, extensions, integrations and optimisation. This role operates above individual teams, focusing on alignment, delivery governance and ensuring Dynamics investment delivers operational and commercial value.

It is designed for businesses with scale or complexity, where Heads of Development or Tech Leads exist but lack a single senior owner to coordinate priorities, manage risk and maintain delivery momentum.

Cogent2’s Fractional Microsoft Dynamics Development Directors work inside the organisation, partnering closely with finance, operations and technology leadership. Alongside senior oversight, you gain access to a joined-up technical and integration team that can execute, refine and stabilise delivery where required.

When to hire a Fractional Microsoft Dynamics Development Director

This service is particularly well suited to organisations that:

Run Microsoft Dynamics as their core ERP across multiple functions
Have parallel Dynamics development, integration and optimisation workstreams
Experience delivery conflicts, delays or unclear prioritisation
Rely on partners without strong internal delivery ownership
Need senior Dynamics delivery leadership on a part time basis
