A global, high-growth organisation is expanding its footprint across Europe and looking to hire a Tax Manager to help shape how that growth is managed from a tax perspective. This is a genuinely broad, multi-disciplinary role sitting at the heart of the EMEA tax function, spanning European direct tax, US GAAP reporting, transfer pricing, Pillar Two and UK tax governance.
If you're a European tax professional who wants more than a narrow compliance remit, someone who enjoys owning a portfolio of markets, working directly with the business, and having a real say in how the tax function evolves, this is built for you.
The Role of the EMEA Tax Manager
Reporting into senior finance leadership, you'll take ownership of a portfolio of European markets, working closely with local finance teams and external advisers to keep compliance sharp and processes running smoothly.
Key Responsibilities:
- Manage the full direct tax cycle for the EMEA markets including corporate income tax return preparation with local external advisers.
- Preparing and submitting US tax reporting (GAAP) including quarterly current and deferred tax provisions using TaxStream technology.
- Managing UK-specific requirements including Senior Accounting Officer (SAO), Tax Strategy publication and Corporate Criminal Offence (CCO).
- Advising finance and business stakeholders on tax matters and building trusted relationships.
- Contributing to the COE's strategy around standardisation, automation, and continuous improvement.
- Monitoring developments across your markets, analysing their impact, and proactively communicating what matters to the people who need to know.
Skills & Experience Required
- Fluent in English. Additional European languages are a bonus, but not a requirement.
- Be a qualified accountant and/or chartered tax adviser (CTA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent).
- Solid grounding in tax accounting, tax provisioning and statutory audit support.
- Experience managing external advisers is ideal.
- Confidence reviewing and signing off compliance deliverables.
- The ability to translate complex tax issues into clear, practical guidance for non-tax stakeholders.
- A genuine interest in tax technology, process improvement and automation.
- Strong personal organisation, ownership and the ability to juggle multiple markets and deadlines with ease.
- Be organised, ownership-driven, and comfortable managing multiple markets and deadlines simultaneously.
Salary and Benefits
Competitive salary up to £65,000 package (£51,000 - £65,000). Benefits include:
- Long Term Incentive Plan eligibility.
- Private family healthcare.
- Attractive pension scheme.
- Hybrid working model (50% home / 50% office).
- 26 days holiday plus bank holidays and festive shutdown.
- Career development and qualification support.
- Modern office facilities with onsite benefits and parking.
