About The Position

This Tax Manager role is a highly visible role reporting directly to the VP of Tax. With an ideal balance of hands-on execution and high-level strategy, you will have ownership in creating an efficient, high-functioning tax department that adds value to the business. This isn't a traditional compliance role; we need a builder with a strong tax technical background and a genuine interest in building relationships and collaborating across the business. True Autonomy & Impact: You will work hand-in-hand with the VP of Tax, giving you a front-row seat to global tax strategy and immediate impact on the business. A Modern Operational Playbook: In this role, you will be empowered to use modern technology and automation to streamline workflows, acting as a true force multiplier. Global Exposure: You will gain experience managing a multi-entity footprint spanning almost a dozen countries, with a strong focus on UK and US tax law.

Requirements

4–7 years of progressive corporate tax experience within a regional/Big 4 public accounting firm or a multinational in-house corporate tax department.
Proactive Relationship-Building Skills: You are a genuinely collaborative, people-first professional who isn't shy about pick-up-the-phone outreach. Whether it's cold-calling a regional controller in another country to introduce yourself or grabbing coffee with a local business partner, you naturally build the trust and cross-functional relationships needed to get things done.
International Foundations: Exposure to multi-entity corporate structures and cross-border transactions, with a solid foundational understanding of corporate income tax and US GAAP or IFRS accounting standards.
A Tech-Enabled Efficiency Mindset: A proven track record of using data tools to optimize accounting or tax workflows. You naturally look for ways to leverage technology and automate repetitive processes so you can spend less time on manual entry and more time collaborating and strategizing with the business.
Systems Familiarity: Experience with corporate tax software and advanced data analytics and automation tools.
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.
