About The Role
(Hybrid)
We're looking for a trusted and forward-thinking Senior International Tax Manager to join our Global Finance team. You'll be the go-to voice on all things tax — helping to shape how we structure, report, and strategise across markets. Think of this as a mix of precision and partnership: technical tax expertise meets real-world business savvy.

You'll act as a catalyst for positive change, driving efficiency, accuracy, and insight through automation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Working across Finance, Legal, and Treasury, you'll make sure we're not just compliant — we're clever, proactive, and ready for whatever's next.

What You'll Be Doing

• Championing tax transformation: driving automation, process optimisation, and analytics to make our tax function smarter, faster, and more insightful.
• Advising senior leaders: spotting risks and opportunities early, and helping shape strategic decisions.
• Owning forecasting and reporting: delivering forward-looking insights that influence business planning and boost transparency.
• Managing audits and open positions: ensuring smooth resolutions and embedding a "no surprises" culture across Finance.
• Shaping transfer pricing compliance: aligning policy, reporting, and agreements in partnership with Finance and Legal.
• Supporting OECD Pillar 2 delivery: collaborating with advisors to assess impacts on structure, reporting, and strategy.
• Advising on employment tax obligations: from global mobility and benefits to equity-based compensation.
• Partnering across teams: working with Engineering, People, and Finance to maximise R&D and innovation-related incentives.
• Driving corporate structuring projects: ensuring compliance and strategic alignment with business goals.
• Collaborating with Treasury and FP&A: supporting priorities like budgeting, cash tax planning, and ETR management.
• Mentoring and inspiring others: building advisory capability and fostering a culture of curiosity and continuous learning.
• Building relationships externally: maintaining credibility with advisors, auditors, and tax authorities.

About You

• Qualified Accountant: ACA, ACCA, CTA, or equivalent, with strong post-qualification international tax experience.
• Strategic thinker: able to connect detailed technical insight to commercial impact.
• Experienced across jurisdictions: skilled in budgeting, forecasting, and compliance globally.
• Technically fluent: comfortable with transfer pricing, deferred tax, VAT/GST, DST, employment tax, and R&D incentives.
• Project leader: structured, agile, and able to manage complexity with calm confidence.
• Proactive problem solver: you anticipate challenges and navigate ambiguity with ease.
• Collaborative influencer: trusted by peers and leaders alike to steer decisions and align teams.
• Mentor at heart: passionate about coaching others and raising the bar for excellence.
• Commercially minded: confident engaging senior leadership to shape business direction.
• Industry aware: experience in tech, digital, or consumer-facing brands is a bonus (but not a dealbreaker).
