Job description

City: Slough

Home to the world's best loved and trusted hygiene, health, and nutrition brands. Our purpose defines why we exist: to protect, heal and nurture in the relentless pursuit of a cleaner, healthier world. We are a global team united by this purpose. Join us in our fight to make access to the highest quality hygiene, wellness, and nourishment a right and not a privilege.

Finance

Our Finance team is not just another department; we're strategic partners and catalysts for change, who use our expertise to drive sustainable growth and create and protect value for Reckitt.

With a strong emphasis on cross-functional collaboration and partnership, our inclusive, diverse and energised team breaks down traditional barriers, enabling you to thrive in a dynamic environment where you and your ideas matter.

From leveraging insights and analysis to make data-driven decisions - to spearheading sustainable business practices that contribute to consistent and reliable business growth - we are unwaveringly passionate about making a meaningful impact, and always doing the right thing.

About the role

This presents an opportunity to secure a high-profile role in the Global Headquarters of a FTSE 100 plc. Reckitt is consistently recognised as one of the world’s most innovative companies being the producer and distributor of well-known brands such as Dettol, Durex, Finish and Cillit Bang. This is a specialist role within the CHQ Tax department.

The successful candidate, as part of a significant tax team, will experience a wide range of exposure to the CHQ and global functions of a large multinational organisation.

Working closely with Reckitt’s Tax Reporting and Compliance team and other functional pillars of the department, you will play an essential role in the implementation of initiatives supporting the Group’s reporting strategy, including ongoing technical development of the Group’s external reporting tool, Longview tax reporting.

A successful candidate will need to be enthusiastic, team-focused and work closely with the other members of the UK Compliance and Reporting Team and build networks more widely within Tax and Finance.

The candidate will need to demonstrate strong accounting skills, the ability to grasp complex concepts and to explain the ETR impact of scenarios to Tax Leadership.

2. Manage the process for Group consolidation, audit and external statutory reporting at Q2 and Q4;
3. Manage the Group consolidation at Q1, Q3 and P10;

8. Provide technical tax accounting support on M&A transactions, business restructurings and other tax technical matters;
9. Help maintain and develop the Group’s Longview Tax Reporting environment in conjunction with IS;
10. Provide tax accounting support to UK and local markets;
11. Assist with enhancing the Group’s tax governance procedures and control environment;
12. Help implement the Group’s Pillar 2 reporting solution;
13. Provide assistance with other systems initiatives;
14. Provide data analytics support to the wider tax team.

The experience we're looking for
