You’ll also support senior tax managers and finance teams with tax data analysis, contributing to our business’s broader regulatory and strategic goals.

We’re seeking an Assistant Tax Manager to help oversee corporate tax operations for our European subsidiaries. You’ll be proactive, analytical, and eager to identify areas for process improvement. Experience with multinational tax operations and familiarity with tax accounting systems are a plus, but what matters most is your ability to deliver timely, accurate results while ensuring compliance with local and international tax regulations.

• Prepare and review income tax calculations and reports
• Coordinate with tax and finance teams across Europe
• Support transfer pricing and manage tax compliance providers
• Track tax filing deadlines and respond to tax authority enquiries
• Assist with Tax Residency Certificates and documentation
• Look for ways to improve processes using better tools and tech
• Help identify tax planning opportunities to reduce tax costs
• Support financial forecasting and planning
• Assist with audit readiness and internal controls (SOX)
• Help integrate new systems and stay updated on tax laws
• Take on other tasks as needed to support the team

What you need to succeed:

• Bachelor's degree and ACA, CTA, ICAS (or working toward)
• 3+ years of corporate tax experience, ideally in public practice
• European tax and in-house experience are welcome but not required
• German language skills a plus—not a must
• Self-driven and always looking to improve how things are done
• Strong skills in Excel and other MS Office tools
• Experience with tax research software is helpful
• Great communicator and team player
• Well-organised and able to juggle multiple priorities
