• Monitoring international tax developments and assessing their impact on the Group
• Providing commercially focused tax advice around business decisions, international expansion and changes to Group structures
• Supporting acquisitions and other corporate activity from a tax perspective, including due diligence, structuring and post-completion integration
• Managing relationships with external tax advisers and relevant tax authorities
• Strengthening tax processes, controls, reporting and accountability across the organisation
• Providing leadership and oversight of the treasury function, working closely with the existing treasury team
• Overseeing areas including cash and liquidity, banking, FX, intercompany funding and financial risk
• Providing clear tax and treasury reporting to senior leadership
• Driving continuous improvement across tax and treasury systems, processes and controls

• ACA, ACCA, CTA or equivalent professional qualification
• Strong UK corporate tax knowledge combined with international tax exposure
• Strong transfer pricing experience, including exposure to policies, documentation and intercompany arrangements
• Experience working within a multinational or multi-entity environment
• Experience coordinating tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions
• Good knowledge of tax accounting and reporting
• Exposure to cross-border tax matters including withholding tax and intercompany transactions
• Experience working with and managing external tax advisers
• The commercial judgement to translate complex tax matters into practical recommendations
