This includes designing and implementing a scalable and efficient operating model aligned with MENA Tax objectives, serving as the primary liaison for GCC stakeholders, and fostering strategic relationships to position Pakistan as a preferred delivery location. The individual will drive business development by identifying opportunities to transition workstreams from GCC to Pakistan, ensure operational excellence through best practices and KPIs, and lead change initiatives that promote innovation and collaboration. Regular reporting to the COO and Sub Service Line Leaders on progress, challenges, and strategic recommendations is also a key aspect of the role.

• Strategic thinker with the ability to design and implement new delivery and operating models.
