Full time
Own end-to-end program delivery for multi-workstream finance/tax initiatives (e.g., compliance transformations, ERP/ERP-tax engine integrations, statutory reporting upgrades) with clear scope, timelines, and success metrics. Partner with Finance, Tax, and IT leaders to translate regulatory and accounting requirements (IFRS/US GAAP, direct/indirect tax, e-invoicing, transfer pricing) into executable roadmaps, managing dependencies, risks, and change impacts. Lead governance & controls : run steering committees, track budget/ROI, ensure auditability, and maintain strong internal controls (SOX-ready documentation, policies, and testing evidence). Drive execution excellence : manage vendors and cross-functional teams, implement agile/iterative delivery where suitable, oversee UAT/data readiness, and ensure high-quality cutovers and business adoption. Report and communicate program health to executives with clear dashboards, escalate issues early, and champion continuous improvement across processes, data, and tooling (e.g., SAP/Oracle, tax engines like Vertex/ONESOURCE, Power BI).
