The opportunity – Project Delivery Senior (SAP US National Tax)
Finance and tax transformation, in conjunction with replatforming of ERP in SAP’s next generation S/4HANA landscape, make up one of the biggest opportunities for our clients to improve and ‘future proof’ the tax function, and represent an area that has seen significant growth and investment – which you will see reflected in your career. It is no exaggeration to say that you will be working on highly publicized projects. This is your opportunity to operate at the dynamic intersection of major technological and tax/regulatory change.

You will help our clients leverage SAP technology and related third-party applications to realize enterprise value by improving their tax function (supporting and automating internal and external operations).
Skills and attributes for success

- Be comfortable coordinating cross‑functional teams, managing priorities, and operating as an escalation point during high‑pressure periods.
- Apply a data‑driven approach to planning, prioritization, and reporting (e.g., workload forecasting, delivery sequencing, KPI tracking)
- Contribute to process standardization and continuous improvement, reducing reliance on manual tracking through lightweight automation and better tooling.
- Produce executive‑ready communications (status updates, decision summaries, RAID logs) tailored to different stakeholder audiences
To qualify for the role, you must have
- A bachelor's degree in Information Systems or a master's degree in Accounting, Tax Technology, Management Information.

- Approved technical certification, CPA license or membership to state Bar or progress to attaining those mentioned
- A strong interest in technology and its use in business processes, especially in the context of U.S. taxes.
- Proven experience using delivery tools such as Jira / Azure DevOps (or similar) to manage work intake, prioritize, and report progress
- Excellent communication and business writing skills, with the ability to create concise, leadership‑ready materials.
- A demonstrated ability to successfully contribute to the collection and documentation of requirements for large enterprise programs. (fit and gap processes)
Ideally, you'll also have
- Exposure to ERP / SAP programs (enough to understand delivery phases and stakeholder needs), without requiring deep functional configuration expertise
