Tax Technology and Transformation - Assistant Manager

Assistant Manager
Tax Technology & Transformation (TTT)
EY MENA

The TTT Assistant Manager is an execution-focused, client-facing role responsible for delivering day-to-day work products across Corporate Tax, Indirect Tax, Accounting Compliance & Reporting, eInvoicing, and AI-enabled tax use cases. The role works closely with client Tax/Finance/Technology stakeholders to translate requirements into practical solutions—building data pipelines, reconciliations, dashboards, test packs, and implementation documentation that enable measurable compliance and reporting outcomes.

The Assistant Manager operates as a key “engine room” contributor on engagements—owning discrete modules/tasks end-to-end (under Manager/Senior Manager direction) and ensuring delivery is accurate, well-documented, and client-ready.

• Expected outcomes from the role (measurable “what success looks like”)
• Tax & compliance delivery outcomes (Corporate Tax / Accounting Compliance & Reporting)
• Produces accurate, traceable outputs that support tax and accounting compliance reporting (datasets, reconciliations, exception logs, reporting packs) with minimal rework.
• Demonstrates consistent delivery hygiene: clear documentation, repeatable logic, and evidence-ready outputs.
• Indirect Tax & eInvoicing outcomes
• Supports indirect tax reporting improvements through data readiness activities, validations, and exception handling routines.
• Where in scope, supports eInvoicing delivery by preparing/validating data, assisting with requirements and testing, and validating reporting outputs (including data-driven VAT reporting frameworks).
• Analytics outcomes (tools-driven execution)
• Builds and maintains repeatable analytics workflows using tools such as Alteryx, produces dashboards using Tableau, and performs validations using SQL to support reconciliations and reporting confidence.
• AI outcomes (practical support + validation)
• Supports AI/GenAI-enabled use cases by preparing structured inputs, documenting requirements, validating outputs against acceptance criteria, and supporting user adoption activities.
• Client experience outcomes
• Earns client trust through responsiveness, clarity, and structured execution; contributes to workshops with well-prepared materials, crisp analysis, and clear next steps.
• Expected behaviours (how the role operates)
• Client collaboration and co-creation (mandatory)
• Partners with client users to clarify requirements, validate scenarios, and iterate quickly on solutions and outputs.
• Ownership and accountability
• Owns assigned deliverables end-to-end (data prep, dashboard build, test packs, documentation) and drives closure through disciplined follow-up and dependency management.
• Quality and precision
• Demonstrates strong attention to detail; proactively checks data quality, logic integrity, and documentation completeness before submitting outputs.
• Learning agility
• Learns new client systems, datasets, and reporting requirements quickly; applies feedback to improve execution quality.
• Professional integrity & secure delivery (mandatory)
• Handles client data securely and maintains confidentiality; follows engagement documentation and quality standards.
• Mobility (mandatory)
• Willingness to travel across MENA (and occasionally beyond) based on engagement needs.
• Technical competencies
• Tax and compliance functional capability (execution depth)
• Working understanding of tax and compliance process flows and the data required to produce reporting outputs across Corporate Tax, Indirect Tax, and accounting-related compliance reporting.
• Data, analytics & validation (tools capability — required)
• Hands-on capability in SQL (extract/validate data, joins/aggregations, reconciliation support).
• Hands-on proficiency in Alteryx for data preparation/workflows and Tableau for dashboarding/insights (or equivalent tools used on engagements).
• Ability to execute data quality checks, reconciliations, and exception monitoring rules; ability to explain results clearly to client stakeholders.
• eInvoicing & digital indirect tax reporting (preferred but valuable)
• Understanding of eInvoicing implementation components (data fields, process impacts, integration touchpoints) and ability to support VAT…
