We make health happen. As the Tax Reporting and Technology Manager, you will support the Tax Transformation and Technology Senior Manager in delivering tax transformation initiatives and leveraging technology to streamline tax processes. Through delivery of tax transformation and technology solutions you will play a key role in supporting the wider Group tax function with delivery of consolidated tax reporting and ensuring compliance with international and UK tax regulations. You will help ensure our global tax approach is responsible, transparent, and aligned with how we care for our customers and communities.

Your primary responsibility will be to support on the final year of Bupa’s implementation of Oracle TRCS (Tax Reporting Cloud Service) for Pillar 2, IFRS Tax Reporting and Country by Country Reporting (CbCR), focusing on embedding business as usual governance and supporting on the design and implementation of remaining enhancements. You will also support on the technology and transformation aspects of the Pillar 2 compliance process and outsourcing, including supporting with the refresh, re-tender or model change (e.g. bringing some aspects in-house) for the global outsourcing of Pillar 2 and CbCR compliance.

You will work with the TRCS Project team, Group tax and collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Group and Market Unit (MU) financial reporting, technology, finance systems, transformation, and tax teams, as well as external stakeholders and advisers.

• Shaping the future of tax transformation across a complex global organisation.
• Driving improvements in tax reporting, compliance and technology through innovative, scalable solutions.
• Partnering with Tax, Finance and Technology teams to deliver strategic transformation programmes.

• Ability to communicate between Tax and non-tax stakeholders, translating tax technical requirements into functional and technical solutions acting as a bridge between Tax, Finance, Technology and external partners to ensure business requirements are clearly understood, prioritised and successfully delivered.
