Job description
Across more than 20 countries and businesses spanning automotive, retail, real estate, financial services and health, Al-Futtaim produces a large volume of tax data that has to be accurate, traceable and ready to file. This position owns that data set end to end for VAT, Corporate Tax, Transfer Pricing and e-invoicing, from the SAP source through to submission-ready output. Your job is to digitalise Tax Operations, cutting manual effort and improving compliance and reporting accuracy against UAE and regional tax regulations. Most of the build work happens in Python, Power Platform, RPA and approved AI and agent tooling, with SQL and Power Query handling much of the extraction and transformation. Prototypes move quickly, get tested with process owners and, where the benefit is proven, become part of BAU. On the regulatory side, you will support the UAE e-invoicing program by closing master data and transactional gaps against the schema and helping with testing and cut-over. Controls matter as much as speed, so every automated process carries audit trails and meets SAP access, GRC, IT security and data privacy standards. You will also sit between Tax and Finance process owners, GBS towers, IT and external advisors, and train users so the capability stays in house.
