- Interpret country-specific e-invoicing mandates globally, including data and process impact/requirements and translating them into practical delivery actions for clients as part of projects
- Support and coach Senior Associates and Associates on projects through review, delegation and day‑to‑day guidance
- Own engagement risk and quality: apply firm policies and procedures, maintain appropriate documentation, and ensure compliance with internal quality standards and external regulatory expectations
- Drive business development: support in identifying and shaping new e-invoicing opportunities, along with supporting on proposals and bids
- Strengthen the wider practice — refine delivery methodology and support in building reusable accelerators and tools

- Experience delivering tax technology or e-invoicing implementation projects in a consulting, professional services, or in-house tax technology environment
- Deep working knowledge of e-invoicing and e-reporting regimes in at least one major region (EU, Middle East, Latin America or Asia‑Pacific), and the ability to speak credibly about how mandates differ across jurisdictions
- Hands‑on experience implementing/integrating at least one e-invoicing or tax compliance platform
- Proven ability to lead complex, multi‑stakeholder technology engagements, managing budget, risk and quality without close supervision
- Strong stakeholder management
- People leadership experience: managing, coaching and developing team members across engagements
- Sound understanding of engagement risk, quality standards and regulatory expectations in a professional services environment
Additional advantageous experience
