• Support monthly, quarterly, and annual tax accounting processes, including current and deferred tax calculations under UK GAAP and US GAAP.
• Prepare and review tax disclosures for statutory financial statements and support internal and external audits.
• Maintain tax governance documentation, internal controls, and Senior Accounting Officer (SAO) compliance processes.
• Manage tax authority enquiries, audits, and other tax-related matters.
• Provide practical tax advice on business transactions and day-to-day operational activities.
• Conduct technical tax research and support strategic business initiatives.
• Support transfer pricing compliance activities and related documentation.
• Identify opportunities to improve tax processes, reporting, automation, and data quality.

• ACA, ACCA, CTA, or equivalent professional qualification.
• Experience in corporate tax, tax accounting, or a related tax function.

• Strong experience supporting UK corporate tax compliance and tax accounting activities.
• Experience working within a multinational organisation or complex business environment would be beneficial.

• Skills & Knowledge
• Strong knowledge of UK corporate tax legislation and compliance requirements.
• Good understanding of tax accounting principles under UK GAAP and US GAAP.
• Ability to interpret tax regulations and provide practical, business-focused advice.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, organisational, and project management skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively with stakeholders across different functions.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office applications.
