At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence.

We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go.

Join EY and help to build a better working world.

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 Innovation Hive team within our Tax Technology & Transformation team specialise in helping clients navigate these challenges by bringing the most advanced technology platforms and tools to clients to address their challenges.

The opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and ambitious Manager to join our team. We need a candidate who can bring fresh thinking, new approaches and different perspectives. By joining The Innovation Hive’s Sales & Growth Team, you’ll build your experience in transforming the way EY delivers services to clients, as well as advising clients directly on how to manage the strategic as well as practical, everyday issues of operating and improving the performance of their tax departments using technology.

It is an exciting opportunity to work with a diverse, multi-skilled and inclusive team while developing your own career in a fast-growing environment.
