EY MENA
- Purpose
The Assistant Manager operates as a key “engine room” contributor on engagements—owning discrete modules/tasks end-to-end (under Manager/Senior Manager direction) and ensuring delivery is accurate, well-documented, and client-ready.
- Expected outcomes from the role (measurable “what success looks like”)
- Tax & compliance delivery outcomes (Corporate Tax / Accounting Compliance & Reporting)
- Produces accurate, traceable outputs that support tax and accounting compliance reporting (datasets, reconciliations, exception logs, reporting packs) with minimal rework.
- Demonstrates consistent delivery hygiene: clear documentation, repeatable logic, and evidence-ready outputs.
- Indirect Tax & eInvoicing outcomes
- Supports indirect tax reporting improvements through data readiness activities, validations, and exception handling routines.
- Where in scope, supports eInvoicing delivery by preparing/validating data, assisting with requirements and testing, and validating reporting outputs (including data-driven VAT reporting frameworks).
- Analytics outcomes (tools-driven execution)
- Builds and maintains repeatable analytics workflows using tools such as Alteryx, produces dashboards using Tableau, and performs validations using SQL to support reconciliations and reporting confidence.
- AI outcomes (practical support + validation)
- Supports AI/GenAI-enabled use cases by preparing structured inputs, documenting requirements, validating outputs against acceptance criteria, and supporting user adoption activities.
- Client experience outcomes
- Earns client trust through responsiveness, clarity, and structured execution; contributes to workshops with well-prepared materials, crisp analysis, and clear next steps.
- Expected behaviours (how the role operates)
- Client collaboration and co-creation (mandatory)
- Partners with client users to clarify requirements, validate scenarios, and iterate quickly on solutions and outputs.
- Ownership and accountability
- Owns assigned deliverables end-to-end (data prep, dashboard build, test packs, documentation) and drives closure through disciplined follow-up and dependency management.
- Quality and precision
- Demonstrates strong attention to detail; proactively checks data quality, logic integrity, and documentation completeness before submitting outputs.
- Learning agility
- Learns new client systems, datasets, and reporting requirements quickly; applies feedback to improve execution quality.
- Professional integrity & secure delivery (mandatory)
- Handles client data securely and maintains confidentiality; follows engagement documentation and quality standards.
- Mobility (mandatory)
- Willingness to travel across MENA (and occasionally beyond) based on engagement needs.

- Working understanding of tax and compliance process flows and the data required to produce reporting outputs across Corporate Tax, Indirect Tax, and accounting-related compliance reporting.
- Data, analytics & validation (tools capability — required)
- Hands-on capability in SQL (extract/validate data, joins/aggregations, reconciliation support).
- Hands-on proficiency in Alteryx for data preparation/workflows and Tableau for dashboarding/insights (or equivalent tools used on engagements).
- Ability to execute data quality checks, reconciliations, and exception monitoring rules; ability to explain results clearly to client stakeholders.
- eInvoicing & digital indirect tax reporting (preferred but valuable)
- Understanding of eInvoicing implementation components (data fields, process impacts, integration touchpoints) and ability to support VAT reporting frameworks through validation and testing support.
- AI/GenAI delivery support (required awareness)
- Ability to support AI/GenAI initiatives by preparing validation datasets, documenting acceptance criteria, testing output quality, and supporting adoption activities.
- Solution design & SDLC execution (required at task/module level)
- Ability to produce high-quality delivery artifacts: user stories/requirements notes, data mapping sheets, process flows, test scenarios, defect logs, and release readiness checklists.
- Familiarity with basic software delivery lifecycle concepts (build/test/release), and ability to collaborate effectively with developers/technical teams on requirements and testing.
- Change enablement (execution support)
- Ability to support adoption by creating user guides, training materials, and handover documentation; captures user feedback and incorporates improvements.
- Key responsibilities (what the role does)
- Requirements support and solution development (client collaboration)
- Support requirements gathering through workshops and working sessions; document requirements, scenarios, and acceptance criteria.
- Translate requirements into structured artifacts (data mappings, business rules, process steps) and validate with client stakeholders.
- Data preparation, validation and reconciliation (hands-on delivery)
- Extract and validate data using SQL; perform reconciliations, investigate variances, and document findings clearly.
- Build repeatable workflows using Alteryx (or equivalent) to clean, transform, and standardize datasets for reporting/analytics.
- Dashboarding and reporting insights (hands-on delivery)
- Develop dashboards and analytics outputs using Tableau (or equivalent), ensuring metrics are defined correctly, visuals are clear, and outputs are refreshable and repeatable.
- eInvoicing and VAT reporting support (where applicable)
- Support eInvoicing activities: data readiness, validation of mandatory fields, testing support, and reporting output checks (including data-driven VAT reporting frameworks where in scope).
- Testing and implementation support (build-test-deploy)
- Prepare SIT/UAT assets: test scenarios, test scripts, test data, execution trackers, defect logs, and retest evidence.
- Support deployment readiness through checklists, user readiness inputs, and hypercare issue triage.
- AI/GenAI use case support
- Support AI/GenAI solutions by documenting requirements, preparing validation datasets, validating outputs, and supporting adoption readiness activities.
- Delivery governance and reporting (mandatory)
- Maintain task/workplan updates; provide RAID inputs; highlight dependencies early; escalate risks/issues promptly.
