The Opportunity
RSM Ireland is creating a new AI, Data and Digital Solutions capability. We are looking for a hands-on Manager who can work across the firm to turn business and client challenges into practical, innovative and scalable solutions.
The role will initially be sponsored by our Tax department, where there is an established pipeline of opportunities across data analytics, automation, reporting and AI-enabled delivery. However, the role is intended to support business priorities across RSM Ireland, working with teams throughout Audit, Tax, Consulting and our internal functions as the capability develops.
As the first dedicated practitioner of this kind within RSM Ireland, you will enjoy significant ownership, direct access to Partners, structured collaboration with RSM UK's established technology specialists and a clear pathway for progression based on performance, impact and growth.
This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys the pace of professional services and wants direct ownership, visibility and influence. The successful candidate will help shape how RSM Ireland identifies, prioritises and delivers practical AI and digital solutions, with close Partner sponsorship and access to specialists across the RSM network.
Responsibilities:

Work with Partners and client teams to understand business, regulatory and data challenges and translate them into practical solution requirements.
Design, prototype and build analytics, automation, dashboard and AI-enabled solutions for client engagements, managed services and internal teams.
Lead selected AI, data and automation initiatives from initial scoping through to implementation, with appropriate Partner sponsorship and oversight.
Support client demonstrations, proposals, solution scoping and the commercial development of repeatable technology-enabled offerings.
Build relationships across Tax and the wider firm to identify opportunities where data, automation or AI can improve delivery, quality, control or client experience.
Help transition successful prototypes into controlled, documented and supportable solutions, including reusable components, standards, templates and ways of working.
Deliver demonstrations, training and practical coaching to support adoption by colleagues, client teams and wider business users.
Maintain a transparent opportunity pipeline and help prioritise initiatives based on business value, feasibility, risk, delivery effort and available support, while tracking the benefits achieved by implemented solutions.
Work with RSM UK specialists and Irish stakeholders on architecture, governance, security, deployment and future capability development.

The role will initially focus on opportunities including:

Business, financial, workforce and operational data analytics.
Automated reporting, dashboards and management information.
Data cleansing, transformation, reconciliation and quality-assurance processes.
Workflow automation and technology-enabled service delivery.
AI-enabled research, document review, analysis and quality-control workflows.
Development of repeatable and scalable digital solutions that improve client delivery, internal efficiency, quality and control.

The portfolio is expected to broaden over time in line with business demand and demonstrated success across Tax and the wider firm.
