Job description

Are you ready to take ownership of the global direct tax agenda for a fast-expanding international group? This is a newly shaped senior role within a dynamic finance organisation, offering broad technical exposure, significant autonomy, and the chance to influence the tax strategy of a complex, multi-jurisdictional business.

The Role

You’ll sit at the heart of the group’s tax operations, acting as the go-to specialist for direct tax matters across several European entities. You’ll combine hands-on compliance responsibilities with high-impact advisory work, supporting commercial decision-making, M&A activity, and internal structuring initiatives. Expect a genuine blend of tax technicality, business partnering, and project ownership.

What You’ll Be Doing

Your remit will be intentionally varied, spanning both recurring and strategic tax work:

• Overseeing the group’s direct tax compliance cycle, including corporate tax filings, cross-border disclosures, and relevant tax incentive claims.
• Managing preparation and maintenance of transfer pricing documentation, including local files, master file, and ad-hoc TP support.
• Advising commercial and operational teams on the tax implications of new business initiatives, contracts, restructuring projects, and cross-border transactions.
• Playing a key role in shaping tax aspects of group financing, capital structure, and intercompany arrangements.
• Supporting responses to tax authority enquiries and audits across multiple jurisdictions.
• Owning tax inputs into budgeting, forecasting, and year-end reporting.
• Identifying opportunities to streamline the group’s legal entity footprint and improve tax efficiency.
• Managing relationships with external advisors and ensuring value for spend.
• Contributing to the development of internal tax controls, policies, and process improvements.

About You

You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy variety, autonomy, and the chance to shape how a tax function evolves. Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Strong corporate tax experience, either from Big 4/Top 10 or an international in-house environment.
• A recognised professional qualification (CTA/ACA/CA/ATT or equivalent).
• Solid grounding in international tax principles and transfer pricing.
• The ability to communicate confidently with non-tax stakeholders and influence decision-making.
• A commercial, solutions-focused mindset with sound judgement and willingness to challenge where needed.
