As part of a well-established Group Finance function, this role offers broad exposure and the chance to work at the centre of a large-scale operation. The role: This position brings together three key elements – ownership of global indirect tax compliance, acting as a trusted advisor across the business, and working closely with stakeholders to support commercial activity and change.

There’s also a strong business partnering element, giving you the opportunity to get involved in projects, understand new initiatives, and influence how tax is considered in decision-making. They’re looking for someone who is comfortable operating in a large, complex finance environment and can balance technical knowledge with a practical, commercial mindset. You’ll need solid experience in indirect tax compliance, along with exposure to international VAT/GST, whether that’s across the UK and Europe or in a wider global capacity.

You should be confident acting as a key point of contact, able to respond to queries clearly, and build relationships with stakeholders across different levels and functions. Strong communication skills and a pragmatic approach will be essential. Candidates coming straight from practice will absolutely be considered, particularly if you’ve worked with a portfolio of clients that are similar in scale, complexity, and international reach. Why this role This is a good opportunity for someone who wants more than just a compliance-focused role. You’ll be working in a business where tax has a voice, with the chance to get involved in projects, systems, and wider commercial activity. It offers a mix of technical challenge and stakeholder exposure, within an organisation that values expertise and operates on a truly global scale.
