• Identify, assess and mitigate tax risks across the Group, implementing appropriate controls and policies.
• Support the management of the Group’s transfer pricing policies and documentation requirements.
• Provide clear, practical tax advice to key stakeholders across Finance and the wider business.
• Support finance transformation and process improvement initiatives to enhance tax governance and efficiency.

• Experienced in managing relationships with external advisors and tax authorities.
• Experience in managing and developing direct reports.
• Technically strong, with the ability to interpret complex legislation and translate it into practical business guidance.
