The Opportunity

My client is seeking a highly analytical Tax Automation & AI Data Analyst to join the Tax Transformation team on a 12-month fixed-term basis.

This role sits at the intersection of data engineering, automation and applied AI.

You will play a key role in helping the Tax function modernise its operating model by combining established automation technologies such as Alteryx with emerging AI capabilities, including LLM-powered tools and Agentic AI solutions.

Working directly with tax subject matter experts, you will help transform manual and spreadsheet-heavy processes into scalable, controlled and auditable solutions.

This is a hands-on delivery role focused on building practical automation and AI-enabled capabilities rather than leading people.

The successful candidate will be passionate about using data and technology to solve business problems, confident engaging with non-technical stakeholders and able to help teams identify new ways AI can create value across Tax operations.

• Work closely with data engineering colleagues to help meet growing demand for automation and AI initiatives across the department.
\n
• Proactively identify opportunities for continuous improvement and bring forward innovative solutions.
