About us
Christian Aid exists to create a world where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. We are a global movement of people, churches and local organisations who passionately champion dignity, equality and justice worldwide. We are the changemakers, the peacemakers, the mighty of heart.
We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, and recognise the value this brings in forming strong, creative and high performing teams. We welcome applications from all sections of the community, and from those with experience from outside of the voluntary sector. And no, you don’t have to be Christian to work here – we encourage people of all faiths and none to apply. We just ask that everyone lives out our values of dignity, equality, justice and love. We value a good work-life balance, so we’re open to part-time and flexible working. We also offer hybrid working for our office-based colleagues.
About the role
In this role, you’ll be a senior, hands‑on contributor to the design and delivery of solutions, with a particular focus on our Microsoft Dynamics platform, helping ensure it delivers meaningful outcomes across the organisation. You’ll act as a technical authority within the ICT team, owning complex development work, influencing technical direction, and upholding high standards of quality, security, and maintainability.
Working closely with colleagues across ICT and CRM, you'll solve complex technical challenges, champion best practice, and ensure the delivery of high-quality features that align with organisational goals. You'll build strong, open relationships with internal stakeholders and external suppliers, protect the team's focus, and introduce new technologies where they can add long-term value. As a senior practitioner in the Dynamics ecosystem, you'll provide trusted advice on platform capabilities, integration opportunities, and strategic enhancements that help the organisation get the most from its CRM systems.
About you
You’ll bring substantial hands‑on experience designing and delivering solutions using Microsoft Dynamics and the Power Platform, supported by a relevant professional qualification. You have strong expertise in Dynamics customisation and extension, data modelling, integrations and APIs, and SQL Server, alongside solid experience with modern software engineering practices such as source control, automated testing, code review, and CI/CD.
You’re comfortable taking ownership of complex work in resource‑constrained environments, improving quality and reliability, and working directly with users to translate real needs into effective solutions. You understand the long‑term impact of technical decisions and are able to balance pragmatism with sound design.
Ideally, you’ll also bring Microsoft certifications, experience working in a not‑for‑profit or mission‑driven context, and familiarity with Azure or similar cloud platforms.
Above all, you’re a collaborative and credible senior developer who communicates clearly, works effectively with suppliers and non‑technical colleagues, and influences technical decisions through expertise and judgment. You value learning and contribute positively to a culture of continuous improvement.
Please see the role profile for a detailed breakdown of the skills, knowledge and experience required for this role.
