Tax Technology and Transformation - Senior Consultant - Dubai, UAE

Senior Consultant   Tax Technology & Transformation (TTT) EY MENA

Purpose

The TTT Senior Consultant is an execution-focused, client-facing role responsible for delivering key work products on tax transformation and tax technology engagements across Corporate Tax, Indirect Tax, and Accounting Compliance & Reporting. The role works closely with client Tax/Finance/Technology stakeholders to translate requirements into practical solutions—building data preparation workflows, reconciliations, dashboards, testing artifacts, and implementation documentation that enable measurable compliance and reporting outcomes. The Senior Consultant operates as a core delivery contributor, independently owning assigned components end-to-end (under Manager/Senior Manager direction) and ensuring outputs are accurate, repeatable, and client-ready.
