- Configure & Integrate Systems: Configure ONESOURCE applications and partner with technical consultants to ensure seamless integration with customer ERP systems (such as SAP or Oracle) and local Chinese tax solutions.
- Manage Testing & Quality Assurance: Design and execute comprehensive test strategies, test cases, and validation scripts to ensure robust data flow and accurate tax determination.
- Deliver Go-Live & Post-Implementation Support: Provide expert troubleshooting, cutover support, and advisory during go-live phases to ensure smooth transitions and high customer satisfaction.
- Enable Users & Share Best Practices: Develop and deliver end-user training, empowering customer teams to maximize the value of their software investment.

- Proven track record leading end-to-end ERP implementations, with a solid functional understanding of SAP or Oracle finance and accounting workflows.
- Hands-on experience integrating Chinese enterprise tax and e-invoicing platforms (such as Golden Tax System, SAP, Oracle, Baiwang Cloud, Aisino, Yonyou, or Kingdee).
- Strong technical troubleshooting and problem-solving skills with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex data flow and integration issues.
- Exceptional communication, presentation, and consulting skills, with fluency in English and Chinese to engage effectively with both business and technical stakeholders.
