We're on the lookout for an enthusiastic and experienced Senior VAT Compliance Analyst to join one of the world's most innovative and data-driven businesses. This is a brilliant opportunity to step into a high-impact role within a global VAT team where no two days are the same. You'll be part of the International Indirect Tax Compliance function, so experience in indirect tax is a definite plus - but what really matters is that you're proactive, analytical, and thrive in a fast-paced, tech-led environment.

This is an exciting opportunity to work at the heart of an industry-leading indirect tax team, supporting VAT compliance across France, Italy, Spain, and Sweden. The role is based full-time in either Manchester OR London office, collaborating with international colleagues across Europe.

• Preparing, reviewing, and submitting VAT, Intrastat and ECSL filings for France, Italy, Spain and Sweden
• Managing VAT registrations and compliance for a variety of EMEA entities
• Supporting audits, analysing data and reconciling month-end VAT accounts
• Working closely with tech, finance, and tax teams to drive automation and process improvements
• Taking ownership of your area, solving problems, and playing a key part in a globally recognised compliance function

About You
We're looking for someone who's:

• 5+ years of experience of working in VAT advisory or VAT compliance function having basic VAT knowledge
• A bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Tax, or a closely related field - a strong academic foundation is key
• Technically savvy - especially with Excel (PivotTables, SUMIFS, VLOOKUP)
• A self-starter who thrives with minimal supervision
• Calm under pressure and used to working to tight deadlines
• Collaborative, curious and driven to improve processes

Bonus points if you have:

• A tax or accounting qualification (CIMA, ACCA, ACA, AAT)
• Language skills (Italian or French would be especially beneficial)
• Experience supporting audits and working with financial systems

What You'll Gain

• Exposure to high-volume, multi-country VAT operations
• This contract has strong potential for extension, subject to performance over the initial 6-month period
• The chance to influence and improve processes in a global organisation
• A collaborative culture where your ideas are welcomed
• Flexibility around life admin - although this is an office-based role, some leeway can be given for appointments, school runs, etc.
