The opportunity
EY’s Platform Solutions and Intelligence (PSI) team's design and implement technology solutions that helps companies managing the ever-increasing requirements for disclosing information to the public, authorities, and other stakeholders. This may be in the area of taxation, ESG or management reporting, and our clients are some of Europe’s largest multinationals across all industries.
We are therefore seeking talents across all our locations to support our cross-competency teams. You will be an important piece to bridge the gap between finance and IT. As an Indirect Tax Technology Manager you work at the intersection between indirect taxation (e.g., VAT) and modern SAP technology and solutions.

You will be working in an interdisciplinary and dynamic environment, side-by-side with IT developers and architects, subject matter experts and the client’s own project teams.
With ever-increasing regulations or reporting requirements business departments must gather, organize, and analyze more data than ever before. The data must be collected from a variety of systems and departments throughout an organization, and to succeed companies therefore require changes to both processes and systems. This is what we deliver in PSI – end-to-end solutions to complex business challenges. Typical use cases are specialized management reporting, sustainability reporting and various tax reporting cases such as Global minimum taxation (BEPS), transfer pricing, tax accounting and Indirect Tax reporting and Real-Time-Reporting.
PSI is a part of EDGE, an above-market center of excellence, with a primary focus on cross-border delivery of specialist and innovative service offerings. PSI is based in 8 different countries in Europe and India and is the definition of an international team, working together and building the best suitable project teams regardless of location of our people and the client.
