Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced Compliance / Tax Subject Matter Expert (SME) to support a multi-market Peppol e-invoicing compliance and finance transformation program across APAC. This role is the program's primary authority on e-invoicing regulation, tax-invoice requirements and cross-border mandate interpretation translating fast-moving regulatory obligations (Singapore InvoiceNow, Malaysia MyInvois, Australia/New Zealand Peppol requirements, Japan JP PINT, and others) into practical requirements the delivery team can design and build against.

Reports to: Program / Engagement Lead Works closely with: Business Analyst, Tech Solution Architect, Tech Lead/Developer, Tester/QA, and client-side Tax/Legal/Finance stakeholders

Key Responsibilities

• Map regulatory e-invoicing obligations across all in-scope legal entities and markets (current mandates, phased thresholds, and known upcoming changes)
• Assess the client's current AP/AR processes and systems against Peppol/PINT and local tax-invoice requirements; produce a compliance gap report
• Advise on country-specific business rules (e.g., Peppol BIS/PINT SG, MyInvois XML/PINT MY, PINT A-NZ, JP PINT) and how they affect invoice data fields, validation rules and archival requirements
• Partner with the Business Analyst and Solution Architect to ensure the future-state process design and technical architecture satisfy all applicable compliance and audit-trail requirements
• Contribute to the prioritized, market-by-market compliance roadmap and participate in design walkthroughs and sign-off
• Flag jurisdiction-specific risks (tender eligibility, penalty exposure, data-residency or retention rules) early enough to influence design decisions
• Validate that test scenarios and conformance/certification testing correctly reflect regulatory business rules
• Respond to compliance questions arising during build, integration and UAT
• Review exception-handling and validation logic for tax and regulatory accuracy before go-live
• Monitor for regulatory changes or mandate timeline shifts in active markets and flag any design impact
• Support go-live readiness and hypercare on compliance-related issues
• Contribute to the governance and continuous-compliance framework for post-go-live sustainment

Required Qualifications & Experience

• 5+ years of experience in indirect tax, e-invoicing compliance, tax technology, or regulatory advisory, ideally within a Big 4, tax consultancy, or in-house tax/compliance function
• Direct working knowledge of Peppol (4-corner/5-corner model, UBL/PINT standards) and at least one APAC e-invoicing mandate (Singapore InvoiceNow, Malaysia MyInvois, Australia/NZ Peppol, or Japan's Qualified Invoice System)
• Strong understanding of AP and AR processes and how tax/compliance rules intersect with invoice data, validation and archival
• Experience translating regulatory requirements into practical business and system requirements for a delivery team (not purely advisory comfortable working inside a project/delivery context)
• Familiarity with multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction corporate structures and the compliance complexity they introduce
• Strong stakeholder communication skills; able to explain regulatory nuance clearly to both technical teams and executive stakeholders

Preferred / Nice to Have

• Prior experience on a live Peppol or e-invoicing implementation project (client-side or consulting-side)
• Exposure to multiple APAC markets simultaneously (not just domestic tax experience)
• Familiarity with ERP-side AP/AR modules (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics) and how tax configuration is typically implemented
• Relevant professional qualification (e.g., CTA, CPA with tax specialization, or equivalent regional tax credential)

Key Deliverables

• Compliance gap assessment report
• Market-by-market regulatory obligation map and prioritized roadmap
• Compliance input to future-state process design and control matrix
• Validated test scenarios and certification sign-off support
• Ongoing mandate-change monitoring notes / compliance risk flags

Thanks,

Kishor Pasham
