• Support client demonstrations, proposals, solution scoping and the commercial development of repeatable technology‑enabled offerings.
• Build relationships across Tax and the wider firm to identify opportunities where data, automation or AI can improve delivery, quality, control or client experience.
• Help transition successful prototypes into controlled, documented and supportable solutions, including reusable components, standards, templates and ways of working.
• Deliver demonstrations, training and practical coaching to support adoption by colleagues, client teams and wider business users.
• Maintain a transparent opportunity pipeline and help prioritise initiatives based on business value, feasibility, risk, delivery effort and available support, while tracking the benefits achieved by implemented solutions.
• Work with RSM UK specialists and Irish stakeholders on architecture, governance, security, deployment and future capability development.

• Business, financial, workforce and operational data analytics.
• Automated reporting, dashboards and management information.
• Data cleansing, transformation, reconciliation and quality‑assurance processes.
• Workflow automation and technology‑enabled service delivery.

• Development of repeatable and scalable digital solutions that improve client delivery, internal efficiency, quality and control.
