• 8+ years of international tax experience, ideally with a mix of Big 4 / advisory and in-house roles
• Bachelor's degree in Accountancy or related field, with relevant professional accreditation (e.g. ATA by SCTP)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate technical tax positions into practical guidance for non-tax stakeholders
• Self‑starter, comfortable operating with ambiguity in a fast‑paced, start‑up‑like environment
