Client Details

My client is a Top 10 firm based with offices in Milton Keynes. The Global Compliance and Reporting Services (GCRS) practice sits within the wider outsourcing practice. Where clients require a range of outsourced services, across multiple countries, the GCRS practice will harness the power of the firm's network to project manage the set-up, scoping and delivery of these services in each location to a consistent, well-defined scope. The GCRS PMO team in Milton Keynes will project manage the delivery of these services once live using a workflow tracking tool as well as providing central delivery of the indirect tax (VAT) services.

Activities of the team cover the bid, pricing, implementation and delivery of these contracts. The team will be the focal point in the UK, and possibly Europe in due course, for the management of all significant multi-country outsourcing arrangements, working to client relationship holders and to the GCRS leadership in the UK and globally.

• The role will require regular communication with all network locations around the world from, both the firm's global office network and client side, to discuss progress with key deliverables. It will also require the candidate to form a strong relationship with the client contract owner.
• Preparation for and attendance at client Steering Group meetings.
• Identifying opportunities for the on-sell of outsourcing related services.
• Liaising with and reporting to the Director and Team Leader for the GCRS PMO team and with the client service team on the client relationship.
