• Overseeing transfer pricing compliance and preparing supporting documentation in line with international guidelines

• Working closely with the Treasury team to manage direct tax payment deadlines and obligations

• Assisting with the preparation of Country-by-Country reporting and Pillar 2 tax calculations

• Developing and implementing strategies to optimise the Group's tax position while ensuring full compliance with tax laws and regulations

• Monitoring changes in tax legislation and advising the business on the impact of new or evolving direct tax requirements

• Delivering ad-hoc direct tax projects, including enhancements to withholding tax processes in overseas territories

• Collaborating with internal teams, including Financial Reporting, to ensure alignment on tax-related matters

Requirements:

• A professional accounting or tax qualification (ACA, ACCA or CTA)

• Experience gained either in-house or within a UK top-tier practice

• 2-4 years' post-qualification experience

• A confident, pragmatic individual with sound judgement

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced and sometimes ambiguous environment

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• A strong team player, able to collaborate effectively across functions and seniority levels

• A genuine appetite to learn, improve processes and make the tax function more efficient

• A professional, proactive mindset with ambition to develop and progress
