About the role

As a Tax Accounting Manager, you will take on an important and developing role by establishing and shaping our first dedicated function within tax and treasury.

This role suits someone with a finance/accounting background and several years of tax experience in an international environment, who wants to combine hands‑on tax work with broader financial responsibility.

You will work closely with our accounting team, collaborate with controlling, legal, and our international subsidiaries, and act as the company's primary point of contact with the Swedish Tax Agency, foreign tax authorities, auditors, and external advisors. You will report to the Global Director Accounting and Finance.

• Collaborate closely with accounting, controlling, legal, and international subsidiaries.

• Work hands‑on in daily operations as needed.

Who you are
