Job description

Our client an FMCG business, currently going through a significant period of transformation. This ten-month fixed-term role sits within the tax workstream of that program.

The business is migrating from SAP to Microsoft Dynamics 365 across the United States and Canada, and this role is the specialist support for indirect tax through that process. In practice, that means helping ensure tax is designed into the system from the start rather than retrofitted: gathering and documenting requirements across the source-to-pay, order-to-cash and record-to-report workstreams, supporting the configuration of indirect tax determination (US sales and use tax, and Canadian GST, HST and PST), assisting with tax sensitization of master data, and helping set up the compliance and reporting environment. The role also covers testing and UAC, cutover support and post go-live stabilization, working alongside external implementation consultants and the Group tax and finance transformation teams.

The right person will bring eight to twelve years of indirect tax experience in a corporate, shared services or professional services environment, with solid working knowledge of US sales and use tax and Canadian indirect taxes. Exposure to Dynamics 365 and a tax engine such as Avalara or Vertex is helpful, as is any prior involvement in a systems or tax technology implementation. A tax or accounting qualification (CPA, CA, CMI or equivalent) is an advantage.

The role is hybrid with three days a week in the office, and offers a base salary of $125,000 to $145,000 with a performance bonus.
