This role delivers services and project outcomes that support the successful deployment of technology products. Requires strong knowledge of products and integration with host applications. This India-based role partners closely with the onshore team to extend delivery coverage and maintain project momentum across time zones. Working hours should generally align to the candidate s local time zone, with approximately one hour of overlap at the start or end of the day for handoffs, quick syncs, and blocker resolution. As the role matures, the consultant is expected to work increasingly independently, using clear asynchronous communication and documentation to move work forward while the onshore team is offline. Key Responsibilities Partner with the onshore team on initial projects to build shared context quickly, then grow into ownership of assigned workstreams as project context builds.

Demonstrate advanced project management expertise for deployments, including resource allocation, documentation validation, specification review, level-of-effort estimation, project planning, scope control, and budget management. Manage multiple concurrent projects successfully, balancing priorities and driving timely, high-quality outcomes.

Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of end-to-end ERP processes and their impact on product functionality. Develop and execute test scenarios and troubleshoot issues within products and ERP environments to ensure accuracy and performance. Document decisions, testing outcomes, open issues, and handoff notes clearly and proactively so asynchronous collaboration requires minimal back-and-forth. Deliver presentations to customers, including project updates, solution demonstrations, and training sessions. Communicate effectively and influence stakeholders, including senior leadership teams and customer executives, to ensure transparency and alignment throughout the project lifecycle. Provide guidance and mentorship to new team members on configuration and testing best practices.

Prior experience in an offshore or distributed delivery model, ideally supporting onshore U.S.-based teams or clients. Excellent asynchronous communication and documentation habits, with the ability to drive work forward during hours when the onshore team is offline. Sound independent judgment, balanced with knowing when to loop in onshore leads for broader input or client-level sign-off. Why This Role This role is one of our most senior individual-contributor positions — Consulting IV sits just below Principal Consultant, our highest individual-contributor tier. It's built for someone who wants real ownership from day one, not a supporting-hours position. Beyond the individual-contributor track, this role carries a rare stretch opportunity: helping build the offshore practice's hiring framework and delivery standards positions you to grow into a people-leadership capacity for the region as the team scales — not a guaranteed structure today, but a meaningful path for the right person. You'll also have a clear track to expand your scope from e-Invoicing into the full tax compliance ecosystem as the practice grows. MSFT Consultant IV will be to end at 9PM IST. 15 years full time education Important Notice We have been alerted to the existence of fraudulent messages asking job seekers to set up payment to cover various costs associated with establishing employment at Accenture.
