Job description

In-house tax positions are very rare – time to pay attention!

I am recruiting for a large NI corporate that is seeking to expand its established in-house tax team. The role will initially focus on UK & ROI #TaxAccounting and #TaxCompliance.

This role could be suitable if you are a Qualified Accountant or Tax Professional and:

• Have developed a strong knowledge base in tax and wish to specialise further,

• Are eager to formulate plans and make recommendations to resolve tax issues.

I have extensive information and detailed specifications to share about this position.

The successful candidate will join a team of 5 led by a highly experienced Senior Manager committed to supporting and developing their team. This is a highly visible role offering exposure to critical business projects, working alongside colleagues and external advisors.

• Experience in a busy tax compliance or accounting environment within a professional team,
• Awareness of UK and ROI taxes and interest in international tax developments,
• Ability to meet strict deadlines and take responsibility,
• Strong stakeholder relationship skills with effective communication,
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel.
