EY’s UK Financial Services Tax Technology and Transformation (TTT) business is a rapidly growing team of technology, data science, business transformation and tax professionals that help financial services organisations to redefine their tax operations and functions, driving transformation for the digital age.
Based primarily within our London office in the UK but with strong connectivity across EMEIA, the TTT teams focus on assisting clients with tax technology and transformation programmes to deliver both efficiency and effectiveness in the rapidly changing compliance environment.
We work with a variety of organisations across the FS sector and across all geographies. The business has been growing rapidly year on year and in order to seize the opportunities available in the market, the team requires new talent.
A key focus of our Tax Transformation team is working with our 3rd party tax technology alliance partners in supporting clients currently assessing indirect tax technology options on the market to meet their indirect tax obligations e.g. tax determination, e-invoicing and compliance.
The opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated and ambitious individual to join EY’s specialist Tax Technology and Transformation team, with a focus around driving and managing our alliance relationships to grow our implementation business. We expect this area of the business to scale quickly given the legislative changes driving “get it right first time” tax determination and compliance.
Successful candidates will have an opportunity to lead and manage work with significant multinational clients and to engage with our global EY network, providing a great opportunity to build and expand your corporate network.
Modern tax regulations are highly complex and dynamic. As a tax professional at EY, you'll use experience working with EY’s own indirect tax technology solutions, solutions provided by third party partners and common ERP systems to help clients manage their indirect tax obligations. The primary role would be to engage with alliance partners and help explain and expand the role EY can play in delivering effective and efficient compliance with these obligations.

- Exploration, development, and go-to-market planning with new 3rd party alliance partners that have no established business with EY or have under-represented potential.
