Description Hello, we're Starling. We built a new kind of bank because we knew technology had the power to help people save, spend and manage their money in a new and transformative way. We're a fully licensed UK bank with the culture and spirit of a fast-moving, disruptive tech company. We're a bank, but better: fairer, easier to use and designed to demystify money for everyone. We employ more than 3,500 people across our London, Southampton, Cardiff and Manchester offices and have expanded internationally through Engine, our software as a service platform. We are looking for a Global Mobility Tax Assistant Manager or Manager to join our growing tax team. This is a new role with a great opportunity to play a key part in our international expansion. The role will have a broad range of responsibilities with a significant Global Mobility focus and managing day to day tax queries and advice as we expand into new countries. You will work alongside senior members of the tax, finance, payroll, people and legal teams to support the group's international employment tax affairs from an advisory, structuring and compliance perspective. This is an exciting time to be joining Starling given its growth trajectory to date and its ambitious expansion plans in both the UK and internationally. You will support these plans from a tax perspective. Responsibilities : Working within a cross department team, develop the Group's global mobility programme. This includes drafting procedures and controls, managing risks and implementing controls, and supporting international employees with all tax-related aspects of working overseas including secondments from the UK. Become the main point of contact for global mobility tax queries which will involve building strong relationships with the employees and the business departments you are supporting. Managing the relationship with our global mobility and international payroll providers, including proactively managing service levels, agreeing scopes of work and fees, and ensuring services are delivered in line with budgets. Support the end-to-end assignment lifecycle - from the initial initiation and cost estimation through to ongoing assignment support, or localisation.

With the support of advisors and the internal payroll team, managing the end to end monthly process for overseas payrolls for both local hires and secondees. Assisting with local employment tax compliance and managing Appendix 4 and 8 reporting requirements. The role will likely include assisting with internal ad hoc tax advice across the business including preparation of internal memos and training material. Requirements A strong tax and finance background, gained in practice and/or industry with specific Global Mobility experience. UK or international employment tax experience is desirable, but not essential. Enthusiasm and a drive to expand your knowledge in new areas is as important as experience. Relevant Professional Qualification desirable: ACA, ACCA, CTA or ADIT are preferable. A self-starter and independent worker with strong interpersonal skills. Well organised with the ability to plan and deliver on tight deadlines with attention to detail, including strong project management skills. Adaptable and flexible with an ability to adjust quickly according to changing demand and priorities. A practical and commercial approach to problem solving, and the ability to communicate complex tax matters to both a tax and non-tax audience.
