Global Trade Senior Advisor

Global Trade Senior Advisor

The opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated and ambitious individual to join EY’s Global Trade team, with a focus around global SAP advisory from a Customs and Trade perspective. The role will play a critical part in SAP implementation projects. The successful individual will be involved in a fast growth part of the UKI Tax practice, working with significant multinational clients, alongside EY’s Indirect Tax Transformation teams, Tax Technology, and Tech Consulting teams, and collaborating with our global EY network including Tax and non-Tax SMEs. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to build and expand their corporate network.

Customs and Trade is a highly dynamic area with complex technical challenges for businesses around the world. Our clients need our support with understanding what these mean for them in terms of technology, data and technology solutions, as well as data, controls, process and governance strategy. As a Trade SAP professional at EY, you'll use experience and knowledge of SAP functionality, additional SAP tax and/or trade applications and third-party solutions to help clients identify the right technology tools and manage their systems to deliver tax and/or trade requirements effectively on their international business. The primary role would be to engage with clients and help to maximise the value that their SAP systems can deliver from a Customs and Trade perspective, whether these systems are being implemented for the first time or clients are looking to extract more value from the existing SAP system.

In turn, we'll help you achieve your potential by giving you business advisory experience and professional development. Our senior tax, trade, and solution professionals will support you throughout your career, helping you to grow and become a leader in tax, trade, or even supply chain.

• Proven high quality delivery and attention to detail.
• Experience working as a team and leading project teams or workstreams, particularly internationally.
