Indirect Tax Manager London Hybrid Competitive Salary + Bonus + Benefits If you're the person everyone comes to with their VAT questions, I'd love to speak to you. I'm working with an international consumer goods business that's creating a brand-new Indirect Tax Manager role as part of its continued growth. They're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys the technical side of indirect tax. Someone who's just as comfortable getting into the detail of complex VAT issues as they are working with the wider business to improve processes, influence projects and make sure things are done the right way. This isn't a role where you'll sit in a corner preparing returns. You'll be involved in cross-border VAT matters, finance transformation, systems, compliance, governance and business partnering across the EMEA region. It's a broad role with plenty of variety and the opportunity to have a genuine influence on how indirect tax operates across the business. What you'll be doing: Leading and improving indirect tax compliance across EMEA. Advising on cross-border VAT matters across wholesale and e-commerce operations. Supporting ERP implementation and wider finance transformation projects. Reviewing new business activities and supply chain changes from an indirect tax perspective. Working closely with Finance, IT and operational teams to improve systems, reporting and controls. Helping build a best-in-class indirect tax function through process improvement and knowledge sharing. I'd love to speak to you if you have: A strong background in indirect tax within a Big Four or leading professional services firm, followed by experience in industry, or significant in-house indirect tax experience within a multinational business. A genuine interest in technical VAT matters. Experience working across compliance, advisory work and business projects. A collaborative approach and the ability to build relationships across the wider business. If you're looking for a role where you'll have exposure to interesting VAT challenges, transformation projects and the opportunity to influence how things are done, I'd love to tell you more. BH37108
