This Consultant role within National Tax - Global Compliance & Reporting (GCR) in Pune offers a unique opportunity to work across diverse industries. You'll be part of a globally coordinated team of tax professionals dedicated to helping clients navigate the complexities of rapid change. We leverage exceptional knowledge, experience, and technology platforms to provide clients with insights for better business decisions, assisting them in understanding global tax policies and laws for effective planning and compliance.

As a Tax Consultant specializing in AI Tax Labs, you will be instrumental in supporting and leading Agentic AI and Tax Transformation initiatives. Your core responsibilities include acting as the day-to-day tax functional lead, coordinating closely with client stakeholders across business, tax, finance, and technology departments. You will gather and document business and tax requirements for AI-driven tax solutions, review existing processes, and collaborate with the tech team to validate outputs. A key part of your role will be leading the agent development lifecycle from a functional standpoint, validating AI-generated outputs, identifying areas for improvement, and tracking project milestones, dependencies, and risks.

To excel in this role, you should be a Chartered Accountant (CA) with 1-3 years of experience in Direct Tax, encompassing tax compliance, assessments, or advisory. A strong grasp of Income Tax Return preparation, tax provisioning, assessments, and tax reporting processes is essential. While experience with SAP, tax technology tools, or data analytics solutions is advantageous, excellent stakeholder management, communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills are paramount. The ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including technology and data professionals, is crucial.

We are particularly interested in candidates with a deep interest in AI, automation, and tax technology, who can independently drive workstreams and manage multiple stakeholders. Comfort in a fast-paced transformation environment and a willingness to travel for client and internal discussions are also preferred attributes. A Master of Business Administration (MBA) is also considered a relevant qualification.
