Job description

About The Role

Are you an experienced corporate tax professional ready to take greater ownership and make your mark in a growing international business? Do you enjoy combining technical expertise with commercial thinking and practical problem-solving? Are you looking for a role where you can build on your experience, broaden your influence and grow with the business?

We’re looking for a Divisional Tax Manager to join APEM Group at an exciting point in our development. Following our acquisition by Applus+, we’re entering a new phase of international growth, bringing new businesses, territories and tax challenges into an expanding Environmental Services Division. This is an opportunity to take the lead on tax across the division, establishing the processes, controls and relationships needed to support that growth. You will working closely, and have the support of the Divisional Financial Controller, Applus+ global tax team and external advisers.

You’ll take ownership of tax compliance and reporting across multiple jurisdictions, while helping shape our approach to governance, risk management and international tax planning. With further acquisitions and expansion on the horizon, the role will develop too, giving you the chance to get involved in transactions, integration, group structuring and the wider commercial decisions that have tax implications. We’re looking for someone with a strong corporate tax grounding, practical international tax experience and the judgement to know when to take the lead and when to draw on the expertise around them.

To be successful in this role, you’ll need:

• A relevant professional qualification, such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA or CTA
• Experience in corporate tax compliance and reporting across multiple entities or jurisdictions
• A good working knowledge of international tax, including transfer pricing and ideally Pillar Two
• The confidence to take ownership of tax matters, manage external advisers and build relationships with senior stakeholders
• A pragmatic, commercially minded approach, with the ability to identify risks and recommend workable solutions
• Confidence working with financial systems, data and advanced Excel
• Experience of acquisitions, integrations or improving tax processes in a growing international business would also be valuable.

The role is offered on a hybrid basis, with up to four days a week working from home and time in our office near Stockport.

You’ll be joining an ambitious, collaborative business where you’ll have the support of an established international tax team, alongside the autonomy to shape how tax operates across a growing division.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your tax career and want the opportunity to build, influence and grow rather than simply maintain the status quo, this could be a great move.

Next steps

We are focused on creating a diverse and inclusive team. If you can’t tick every box on our job description, then we are still keen to hear from you and are open to supporting your development. That may be working part time or supporting you to gain experience in a specific area – we are a growing company and are able to adapt roles to reflect individual skills.
