Tax, Technology and Transformation - Transformation Manager 1

Location: Belfast

Date: Mar 7, 2025

Tax departments today face more challenges than ever before. Not only do they need to deliver their basic compliance and reporting commitments with reducing resources, aging systems and increased internal pressures, but they are also increasingly having to face the scrutiny of digital tax authorities who are becoming more invasive, demanding more data more frequently. For many tax functions, this situation is becoming unsustainable, and change is needed urgently.

The EY Tax Technology and Transformation Consulting team (“EY TTT Consulting”) specialise in helping clients navigate these challenges, bringing together the most advanced technology platforms and tools with deep expertise in technology, tax & finance and consulting. Through our consulting practice, our product development capabilities and our market-leading platforms, we are leading the way in the market, and we are on a growth trajectory that will make us the biggest partner in this space over the next few years.

Due to the nature of the changing Tax landscape, we are growing rapidly and need to scale our team with ambitious colleagues who can bring fresh thinking, new approaches and different perspectives to help build a practice that will solve the problems of the future – specifically by supporting our Pillar 2 and CbCR offerings.
