Job description

Job Description

As Global Tax Manager you play a key role in shaping and executing our direct tax strategy across a diverse and dynamic portfolio of markets. You will operate at the intersection of tax technical excellence and real commercial impact, supporting on business expansion, M&A, legal restructurings and operating model evolution. You will report into the Global Tax Strategy & Planning Director.

• Drive direct tax strategy and planning aligned with the Group’s global ETR and cash tax objectives.
• Provide hands‑on tax input into M&A transactions, joint ventures, market entry, and business reorganisations — from pre‑deal structuring through to post‑transaction implementation.
• Lead transfer pricing support for legal entities: local implementation, documentation, and risk monitoring.
• Navigate Pillar Two/GloBE implications for the portfolio — QDMTT exposure analysis, scenario modelling, and integration into planning activities.
• Monitor legislative and regulatory developments across your territory portfolio and translate findings into actionable briefing materials for senior stakeholders.
• Identify, document, and manage direct tax risks; lead and support tax audits and disputes in coordination with local finance teams and external advisors.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of tax processes, tools, and data capabilities.
• Act as the trusted tax interface for regional finance, legal, and business teams — building relationships across diverse, internationally dispersed organisations.

Qualifications

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about making an impact through data‑driven reporting, works hands‑on, and thrives in a fast‑paced environment.

Other qualifications include:

• Master’s degree in Tax Law / Fiscal Economics (LL.M. or advanced international tax qualification preferred).
• At least 8 years of direct tax experience from Big Four / top‑tier law firm and/or in‑house multinational roles.
• Analytical rigour that handles technically complex tax issues with precision — even under regulatory ambiguity.
• Commercial acumen: you translate technical analysis into pragmatic, business‑relevant recommendations and engage credibly with non‑tax partners.
• Stakeholder engagement: you build effective relationships across functions and geographies with ease.
• Ownership & initiative: you identify issues proactively, drive work to conclusion, and thrive with limited supervision.
• Cross‑cultural agility: you navigate multi‑jurisdictional environments and diverse regulatory cultures with confidence.
• Clear, concise communication — you make the complex accessible for any audience.
