London, United Kingdom Schroders Full time

Who we're looking for


A VAT Tax Manager to contribute on a range of tax compliance and advisory matters, relating to our EMEA businesses, working with other members of the Group Tax function, and as well as colleagues in other functions.

The main area of focus will be VAT. However, it is expected that the role would also encompass other tax-related responsibilities, potentially including involvement in transfer pricing, corporate income taxes, withholding tax, employment tax and Country-by-Country-Reporting regimes. This role would suit someone looking to broaden their tax knowledge beyond VAT, with a view to developing into a more senior regional role.
