Job description

Global Trade Senior Advisor

The opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated and ambitious individual to join EY's Global Trade team, focusing on global SAP advisory from a Customs and Trade perspective. The role involves critical participation in SAP implementation projects. The successful candidate will work within a rapidly expanding part of the UKI Tax practice, collaborating with multinational clients, EY's Indirect Tax Transformation teams, Tax Technology, Tech Consulting teams, and our global EY network, including Tax and non-Tax SMEs. This is a great chance to build and expand your corporate network.

Customs and Trade is a highly dynamic area with complex technical challenges for global businesses. Clients require support in understanding these challenges in terms of technology, data, controls, processes, and governance strategies. As a Trade SAP professional at EY, you will leverage your experience with SAP functionalities, SAP tax and trade applications, and third-party solutions to help clients select appropriate technology tools and manage their systems to meet tax and trade requirements effectively, whether implementing new systems or optimizing existing ones.

We aim to help you realize your potential by providing business advisory experience and professional development. Our senior professionals in tax, trade, and solutions will support your growth into a leader in tax, trade, or supply chain management.

Core skills and attributes for success

• Business consulting experience is mandatory.
• Experience with SAP implementation, especially related to Trade and Customs (not limited to SAP GTS).
• Good understanding of SAP ECC/S4 HANA processes related to Sales, Procurement, and Logistics.
• Hands-on experience with SAP GTS is strongly preferred, but basic understanding suffices if hands-on experience is lacking.
• Experience with SAP EWM and TMS is also preferred.
• Ability to work consultatively with clients, translating business objectives into SAP solutions.
• Proven track record of high-quality delivery and attention to detail.
• Experience leading international project teams or workstreams.
• Strong interpersonal, communication, and teamwork skills, both verbal and written.
• Demonstrated ability to coach, collaborate, focus on customer needs, and deliver quality service.
