ERP Tax Senior Consultant / Manager

(D365 Finance & Operations / Workday)
Senior-Lead level

The Role

We are supporting a client who is expanding their ERP and tax technology transformation capability and is seeking consultants with experience in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations or Workday.

This role sits at the intersection of ERP delivery, finance and tax, supporting tax and finance teams to ensure systems, processes and data effectively meet tax and compliance requirements. This is not a tax advisory role - strong tax awareness is required, but you will not be expected to be a tax specialist.

You will work on ERP implementations, upgrades and transformation programmes, often within complex, multinational environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Support D365 F&O or Workday implementations and transformation projects
• Work closely with tax and finance teams to understand requirements and translate them into system and process design
• Support indirect tax and compliance processes (e.g. VAT/GST, reporting, controls)
• Assist with global operating model, governance and process improvements
• Ensure accurate data flows and reporting to support tax compliance
• Collaborate with ERP, tax, finance and technology stakeholders across programmes
• Contribute to testing, deployment and post-go-live support

Required Experience

• Experience working with D365 Finance & Operations or Workday in an implementation or transformation capacity
• Exposure to tax or finance requirements within ERP environments
• Understanding of indirect tax concepts (VAT/GST/SUT) at a practical, systems level
• Experience translating business or tax requirements into ERP solutions
• Background in consulting, systems implementation, or in-house transformation
• Comfortable working in multi-entity or multinational environments

Nice to Have

• Experience with tax technology or compliance processes
• Exposure to large-scale ERP programmes
• Experience working alongside tax teams, shared service centres or managed services
• Familiarity with data, reporting or controls frameworks

Who This Role Suits

• ERP consultants who want to broaden into tax-enabled transformation
• Finance systems professionals with tax exposure
• Consultants who enjoy working at the intersection of technology, process and regulation
• Candidates looking to move away from pure technical or pure tax roles

Why Apply

• Work on large, high-impact transformation programmes
• Gain exposure to tax technology and global compliance
• Flexible working arrangements
• Clear progression for senior and lead-level consultants
• Opportunity to develop a specialist niche combining ERP and tax
