• Prepare and review comprehensive tax disclosures for UK statutory accounts within the group, ensuring all information is accurate and timely.
• Monitor Effective Tax Rates closely and report findings to the US Tax team, including substantiating proof of tax and deferred tax positions.
• Manage third-party providers responsible for preparing tax disclosures and notes for EMEA and APAC regions, fostering strong collaborative relationships.
• Lead the group’s Pillar 2 reporting obligations by working closely with regional financial controllers to ensure compliance with evolving regulations.

• Ability to translate intricate business requirements into practical solutions using best practice tools and techniques.
• Exceptional organisational skills are necessary due to the complexity of the group structure you will be supporting.
