About the Role
We are seeking an Associate Director focused on leading e-invoicing projects within our Digital Tax Consulting team. This client-facing role involves end-to-end project delivery, from solution design to go-live, and offers opportunities to support other transformation areas like VAT solutions and ERP programs.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end delivery of e-invoicing projects, managing scope, budget, risk and quality across the full project lifecycle
- Support, develop and help maintain alliances with third party technology providers
- 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
- Act as a senior point of contact on engagements, building and holding relationships with Tax, Finance and IT stakeholders
- Lead and coach project teams, developing Managers, Senior Associates and Associates 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: identify and shape new e-invoicing opportunities, lead proposals and bids, and contribute to thought leadership that builds the firm's market position
- Strengthen the wider practice — refine delivery methodology, build reusable accelerators and tools, and support recruitment and capability building within the team
Requirements
- Experience delivering tax technology or e-invoicing implementation projects in a consulting, professional services, or in-house tax technology environment, at a level where you have owned delivery rather than supported it
- 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
- A track record of business development – proposal writing, client relationship building, and converting engagement work into follow-on opportunities
- People leadership experience: managing, coaching and developing team members across multiple concurrent engagements
- Sound understanding of engagement risk, quality standards and regulatory expectations in a professional services environment
- Professional tax or accounting qualification (e.g. CTA, ACA, ACCA) or equivalent
- ERP experience (Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP S/4HANA) specifically for tax or e-invoicing purposes
- Experience leading global rollout programmes spanning multiple countries and jurisdictions
- Broader indirect tax technology exposure – VAT compliance solutions, Tax engines etc.
- Familiarity with data analytics or automation tools (Alteryx, Power BI, SQL, Python) to support e-invoicing data validation and reporting
