Be part of a team that enables business growth

The successful candidate will be responsible for taking the tax function to the next level, improving controls and compliance across the tax spectrum, providing valuable tax insight to the rest of the business, and ensuring the team is right sized for the requirements of the business.

• Support and improve responses to tax evasion risk across the organisation
• Review and improve processes around the VAT return, Intrastat & EC Sales list reporting

What we need from you

• An accounting or tax qualification (ACCA/ACA/ICAS/CTA)
• Experience of working in either in house or UK top tier practice
• An interest in multinational, systems and indirect taxes
• Excellent written, verbal, communication and thought skills
• Desire to work in a fast paced and often ambiguous environment
• A confident individual with good levels of judgement and pragmatism, comfortable working within a commercial environment with senior members of the business

Work in a way that works for you

We recognise that everyone is different and that the way in which people want to work and deliver at their best is different for everyone too. In this role, we can offer the following flexible working patterns:

• Hybrid working 3 days in the office and 2 days working from home
