To live up to our Always with Purpose employee value proposition, we’re putting the development and growth of colleagues first by ensuring everyone at Anglo American has the career experience they deserve.

The Tax Technology & Transformation Specialist will support the delivery of a critical Group Tax initiative to ensure Anglo American is ready to meet its Tax Compliance and Reporting obligations under the recently introduced Global Minimum Tax regime known as “Pillar 2”.

1. Work with the Pillar project leadership to define and manage against a plan of work to deliver Pillar 2 data, process and technology solutions to Singapore.
2. Working alongside the Pillar 2 SME to continually monitor and interpret the Pillar 2 model rules and translate into up to date source data requirements that are applicable for Anglo American in Singapore.
3. Working collaboratively with the business Finance and Tax teams to ensure data requirements are understood, gather a complete set of Pillar 2 data mappings from finance source systems (primarily SAP), lead reconciliations to test and validate data mappings, and identify any source data gaps and required remediations.
4. Partner with Finance and Global/Local IM teams to design fit for purpose finance system (SAP) enhancements, process remediations (ITP, ITC and RTR) and data remediations in line with the Anglo American group data standards to address any source data gaps identified, and ensure the required changes are effectively implemented, tested, delivered and signed-off by the business.
5. Work alongside IM and Finance teams to ensure the successful first deployment of the Global Tax Compliance & Reporting solution to Singapore, ensuring data mappings are correctly implemented, tested and signed off and provide the necessary outputs to feed downstream Pillar 2 Compliance and Reporting processes.
6. Work with, and sometimes manage, related internal and third party supplier team(s) to deliver the required outcomes.
7. Provide regular updates to the Pillar 2 project leadership, the Tax Technology Lead, AsiaPac Tax Operations Principal and Tax Reporting Principal, escalating challenges where required.
8. Liaise with Group and Business Finance teams, Tax teams, Finance Operations and IM teams to define detailed requirements, complete the process and technology design and deliver the outcomes required.
9. Provide updates as required to the Steering Committee and the Tax Leadership Team.
10. Engage with related tax transformation workstream leads to identify dependencies and opportunities for alignment.

Minimum Requirements:

1. A strong knowledge of international Tax Compliance and Reporting processes, principles and deliverables, with preferably some experience of Pillar 2.
2. Knowledge of tax and finance technologies, including SAP, systems of tax reporting, tax compliance and analytics.
3. Functional experience of Tax transformation, and working knowledge of the Global Finance Taxonomy (particularly RTR, ITP and ITC).
4. Prior experience in design and development of Finance process taxonomies, including hands-on experience of business process design.
5. Prior experience of managing key deliverables in a technology enabled transformational change project, with significant Finance and ERP (SAP) components.
