The opportunity

EY Tax is a market leader, renowned for delivering sustainable growth and empowering our people to shape their own careers. Our diverse, collaborative team advises on high-profile transactions, combining technical expertise, innovation and a genuine focus on continuous development. Join us to work on challenging, multi-country projects in a supportive, dynamic environment where your impact truly matters.

Our high-profile Indirect Tax Transformation team, based primarily within our London office in the UK, focuses on assisting clients with transformation programmes and the operational management of VAT. This includes helping clients react to and adjust their VAT management approach because of the global trend towards tax authority digitisation. They advise clients on a wide range of operational, systems and technology projects, including ERP system VAT optimisation, process, controls, and supply chain, whilst also working with innovative technologies including machine learning and robotics.

A key focus of this Indirect Tax Transformation team is Dynamics 365 ('D365') and we support clients with getting the most out of their D365 system from a tax perspective. We are a cross taxes multidisciplinary team, applying our range of experiences and skills, knowledge of best practice and practical hands-on experience throughout the D365 project lifecycle. This includes helping clients navigate a D365 implementation ensuring risks are managed and opportunities for tax are well understood and executed, optimise existing D365 set-up to better manage risk, drive efficiencies and reduce cash leakage, as well as implement future-proof solutions to manage taxes in a constantly changing tax and digital landscape.

This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated and ambitious Director-level individual to join EY's specialist Indirect Tax Transformation team, with a focus around tax D365 advisory work. This role will provide an opportunity to be part of the leadership team in a fast growth part of the UKI Tax practice. The successful candidate will have an opportunity to help steer and develop the Microsoft ERP Tax business, work with significant multinational clients and to engage with our UK and global EY network to grow the business, providing a great opportunity to build your own career.

Modern tax regulations are highly complex and dynamic, and our clients need our support with understanding what these mean for them in terms of technology, data and technology solutions, as well as data, controls, process and governance strategy. As an Indirect tax D365 professional at EY, you will use experience of Indirect tax global rules and requirements, and knowledge of D365 functionality, additional D365 tax applications and third-party solutions to help clients identify the right technology tools and manage their systems to deliver tax requirements effectively. The primary role would be to engage with clients and help to maximise the value that their D365 systems can deliver for tax, whether these systems are being implemented for the first time or clients are looking to extract more value from the existing D365 system.
