  • Support the senior team on managing engagement risk and quality: apply firm policies and procedures, maintain appropriate documentation, and ensure compliance with internal quality standards and external regulatory expectations
  • Support with new e-invoicing opportunities, along with supporting on proposals and bids
  • Strengthen the wider practice — help the team in refining delivery methodology and support in building reusable accelerators and tools

Key skills and experience

Essential

  • Experience delivering tax technology or e-invoicing implementation projects in a consulting, professional services, or in-house tax technology environment
  • Knowledge of e-invoicing and e-reporting regimes and the ability to speak credibly about how mandates differ across jurisdictions
  • Hands-on experience with supporting the implementation/integration of at least one e-invoicing or tax compliance/or similar platform
  • Proven ability to problem solve, support with managing budget and risk/quality on projects
  • Strong stakeholder management both internal and external
  • Ability to work well with as part of a team, but also able to work independently
  • Understanding of engagement risk, quality standards and regulatory expectations in a professional services environment

Additional advantageous experience

  • Professional tax or accounting qualification (e.g. CTA, ACA, ACCA) or equivalent
  • ERP experience (Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP S/4HANA) specifically for tax or e-invoicing purposes
  • Experience with global rollout programmes spanning multiple countries and jurisdictions
