Job description

At the GLS Group headquarters based in Amsterdam, a position has become vacant for a Manager Group Tax, reporting to the Director Group Tax. In this role you will be responsible for a broad range of tax matters across GLS’s international operations and play a pivotal role in shaping their global tax framework. You will work closely with various departments to ensure compliance, manage tax risks, and support strategic tax planning.

While this is a well-rounded tax role, approximately 50% of your responsibilities will involve Dutch taxation, given the importance of the Netherlands as a hub for cash pooling, M&A activities, and international tax structuring. You will also provide support on transfer pricing, corporate tax matters, tax audits across multiple jurisdictions, and the ongoing implementation of a Tax Control Framework (TCF).

Key Responsibilities:

• Strategic & Technical Tax Support: Assist in developing tax strategies to minimize risk and ensure compliance across Europe and North America;
• Corporate Tax Compliance: Manage tax filings, including article 10a VPB and withholding tax considerations;
• Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A): Support SPA reviews, due diligence (DD) processes, and structuring of transactions;
• Transfer Pricing: Oversee intercompany cost allocations and ensure compliance with transfer pricing regulations;
• Tax Audits: Manage and coordinate tax audits in various jurisdictions;
• Tax Control Framework (TCF): Contribute to the development and implementation of the TCF to enhance compliance and governance;
• Operational Tax Matters: Handle various day-to-day tax matters, including residence certificate applications and liaising with tax authorities;
• Tax Accounting & Reporting: Support interim and year-end tax accounting processes, ensuring alignment with group financial reporting;
• Stakeholder Management: Work closely with finance, legal, and external advisors to navigate complex tax landscapes.

GLS Group is one of the largest parcel service providers in Europe, with a strong presence across the continent and operations in Canada and the USA’s West Coast.

In 2025/26, GLS achieved record revenues of €6 billion and delivered 977 million parcels worldwide.

At GLS, they thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where innovation, flexibility, and strategic thinking drive success.

The ideal candidate is a tax professional with 7-10 years of experience, capable of handling both strategic and hands‑on tax matters in an international setting.

Requirements:

• Master’s degree in Tax Law or Economics;
• 7-10 years of relevant tax experience, preferably with a mix of Big 4 and in‑house corporate tax roles, although straight out of advisory is also an option;
• Strong knowledge of Dutch tax law and international tax regulations;
• Experience with Transfer Pricing, and tax audits;
• Ability to work in a complex, fast-moving international organization;
• High ethical standards, analytical mindset, and attention to detail;
• Fluent in Dutch and English.
