• Oversee year‑end tax provisioning for group and statutory reporting.
• Maintain a global tax compliance dashboard to track filing and audit status.
• Support tax audits and statutory accounts processes, ensuring compliance with IFRS and local GAAP.
• Monitor changes in tax legislation, updating policies and providing training as needed.
• Assist with the Group’s tax governance framework, including compliance with the Criminal Finance Act 2017 and Senior Accounting Officer (SAO) requirements.
• Provide internal tax advisory support on cross‑border trading, bids, acquisitions and employee mobility.
• Maintain and review global transfer pricing documentation and intercompany control frameworks.
• Support international finance teams to ensure local tax requirements are met.
• Identify tax planning opportunities and assist with implementation of global tax initiatives, including Global Minimum Tax.
• Liaise with external advisors and tax authorities as required.
• Deliver training and guidance to non‑tax professionals across the group.

What We’re Looking For

• ACA, ACCA or CTA qualified (or equivalent), ideally with experience in a Top 20 firm.
• Minimum one year post‑qualification experience.
• Exposure to international and cross‑border tax matters preferred.
• Strong accounting knowledge and commercial awareness.
• Excellent written, verbal and interpersonal communication skills.
• Proactive and organised, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Strong IT skills including Excel, Word and tax software (e.g. OneSource).
• Willingness to pursue further professional tax qualifications as agreed with the business.

What You’ll Get in Return

• Competitive salary, discretionary bonus and comprehensive benefits package.
• Hybrid working (3 days in the Leeds office, with flexibility and travel to London as required).
• Opportunities for career progression within a growing global group.
• Inclusive, supportive company culture that values professional development.
• Access to private medical insurance and a range of employee benefits.
