About Contiqa Systems

Contiqa Systems is a boutique tax, tech and transformation advisory practice based in Dubai, working at the intersection of tax, technology, data and operating model design — where regulatory intent becomes system logic, and system logic becomes audit-ready compliance.

The practice is built around five connected disciplines:

- Tax — VAT, corporate tax, withholding and transfer pricing advisory;
- Tax Technology — ERP tax architecture, tax engine design, automation, and e-invoicing implementation across PINT-AE, PEPPOL and clearance-model regimes.
- Tax Data — master data governance, transaction data quality and the controls that make every data point traceable and defensible.
- Tax Operating Models — tax function design, RACI, process re-engineering, co-sourcing models and technology adoption.
- Tax Governance — continuous controls frameworks, tax risk management, audit readiness and assurance.

The practice serves enterprises across the UAE and GCC and advises businesses navigating real-time tax mandates in PEPPOL jurisdictions globally. Delivery is supported by remote teams under Contiqa Systems Private Limited in India.

The role

India has run continuous transaction controls at national scale since 2020. IRN lifecycle management, rejection handling, e-way bills, GSTR reconciliation at volume — Indian practitioners have already lived, operationally, what GCC finance teams are only now approaching. That experience is the core asset we are hiring for.

As Manager — Indirect Tax & Client Delivery , you own the quality of everything the delivery centre produces for UAE and GCC engagements, build and lead the team behind it, and turn engagement experience into the methodology the practice runs on.

What you will do

- Build and lead the delivery team. Hire,



train and develop associates; own capacity planning and delivery discipline against client timelines.
- Be the quality gate. First-pass review of all delivery centre output, with the judgment to decide what is ready to go to a client and what is not.
- Lead tax data work. Master data profiling and remediation across client ERP systems: missing and inconsistent fields, extraction logic, and validation rules that hold up against structured data requirements.
- Deliver tax technology and transformation projects from the functional tax side — ERP tax determination, automation design, testing and go-live support.
- Apply Indian CTC operational patterns to GCC e-invoicing readiness and continuous controls engagements.
- Support tax advisory and compliance workstreams across VAT and adjacent obligations, working to the positions set by the practice.
- Standardise and automate. Turn recurring work into repeatable routines — advanced Excel today, with SQL, Power BI and Python as the toolset and the team mature.
- Build the methodology. Convert engagement learnings into SOPs, checklists and training material, so output is consistent and defensible rather than dependent on one person's memory.
- Work directly with the founder on engagement design and the client escalations your team surfaces.

What we are looking for Essential

- A curious and adaptive Chartered Accountant with at least 5 years post-qualification experience in Indian indirect tax.
- Hands-on GST e-invoicing operations at scale: IRN generation and cancellation, rejection handling,



e-way bill processes, and GSTR-1/2B/3B reconciliation.
- Real ERP exposure at volume (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics or comparable), including vendor and customer master data.
- An automation orientation: advanced Excel as a minimum, with SQL or Power BI strongly preferred and Python a genuine plus. We hire people who are moving toward the tools that will absorb repetitive work.

- Experience supervising or mentoring junior staff.
- Solid written, communication and presentation skills

Highly Valued

- A mix of consulting and in-house industry experience.
- Exposure to UAE, Oman, wider GCC or other international VAT engagements, including in a supporting capacity.
- Familiarity with data governance concepts — quality, lineage, ownership — applied to tax and finance data.
- A demonstrated interest in tax technology as a career direction, rather than traditional compliance alone.

Practicalities

- Location: remote within India. We are optimising for the strongest match on operational depth. Occasional travel to Dubai may be required.

So you must be having your passport and travel flexibility.

- Hours: UAE is 1.5 hours behind IST. We ask for reliable overlap through the UAE working day.
- Compensation:

Competitive and benchmarked to the role.

- Team: you start as the first hire in the centre and build the team.

What we offer You are building a delivery centre from its early stage under the guidance of the Founder.

You report directly to the founder.

You will work alongside the thinking behind the founder's book Extinction of Tax As We Know It , the forthcoming Real-Time Tax Transformation , an upcoming future capabilities practitioner course and a published body of frameworks — the working material of a practice building something real.
