It is no exaggeration to say that you will be working on highly publicized projects. This is your opportunity to operate at the dynamic intersection of major technological and tax/regulatory change.

Your Key Responsibilities

As a Senior Manager in our SAP Tax Integration competency, you will play a critical role in delivering high-quality tax technology services to multinational clients. You will:

• Be responsible for managing multiple projects simultaneously while developing and mentoring the next generation of tax professionals in our practice.
