OSTTRA has 30+ entities across multiple geographical jurisdictions, with key locations in the UK, US, Sweden, India, Singapore, and Malaysia. You should be able to navigate complex international landscapes, manage compliance, and contribute to strategic planning, particularly within the context of our Shareholder's Investment Strategies. This involves ensuring the company can service its debt, optimise overall cash management, and support OSTTRA's investment strategy.

• Managing tax risks and opportunities in a global context, particularly in the context of cross-border operations as well as Partnerships and M&A.

This is a critical role requiring a combination of technical expertise, strategic thinking, and strong leadership skills to navigate the complexities of our multinational organisation in order to maximise value for OSTTRA and our Shareholders. The ability to adapt and work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment as we undergo a period of significant change will require flexibility and adaptability.
