Working closely with business leaders, finance teams, shared services, and external stakeholders, you will contribute to both operational and strategic tax activities for legal entities in Poland. This role offers exposure to multiple tax disciplines, making it an ideal opportunity for professionals who enjoy a broad scope of responsibility rather than specializing in a single area.

• Contribute to quarterly and annual tax reporting activities, including the preparation and review of current and deferred tax positions in line with applicable accounting standards.
• Provide support in transfer pricing reporting and documentation while collaborating with internal stakeholders on activities related to tax credits, incentives, and other available tax optimization opportunities.
• Identify gaps, risks, and improvement opportunities within direct and indirect tax compliance and reporting processes and help drive initiatives that strengthen controls and increase efficiency.
• Support group tax reporting requirements, including participation in global reporting processes and tax-related projects such as J-CFC reporting.
• Drive the development and continuous improvement of tax processes, procedures, and governance frameworks to enhance efficiency, consistency, and productivity across the tax function.
• Coordinate responses to tax authority inquiries and audits by reviewing supporting documentation, validating information received from stakeholders, and managing electronic communication channels with tax authorities.
• Contribute to tax technology and digitalization initiatives/projects by supporting testing activities, validating system outputs, and helping ensure tax requirements are effectively embedded in business processes.
• Partner with finance and accounting teams to improve accounting and booking processes from a tax perspective, support automation initiatives, and implement changes resulting from new tax legislation.
• Maintain tax documentation, tax calendars, internal procedures, and audit-ready supporting files while building constructive relationships with tax authorities, business partners, shared service teams, auditors, and external advisors.
