• Overseeing corporate tax compliance activity and managing relationships with external providers.
• Supporting Group-level requirements including Pillar 2, Country-by-Country Reporting (CBCR) and Corporate Interest Restriction (CIR).
• Maintaining effective tax risk, governance and controls.
• Producing and developing management information around the Group's tax profile and tax contribution.
• Reviewing and improving tax reporting processes, including the continued development and use of tax technology and data.
• Working collaboratively across Tax and Finance to ensure consistency, effective risk management and high-quality delivery.
• Challenging external providers where appropriate and identifying opportunities to improve quality, efficiency and processes.

Who are we looking for?

This opportunity will suit an established Tax Reporting Manager or Senior Manager who can step into a complex environment and add value quickly.

Ideally, you will have:

• ACA, CA, ACCA, CTA or equivalent professional qualification.
• A strong UK corporate tax background.
• Significant experience of tax reporting and/or tax accounting within a large or complex organisation.
• Experience within financial services, or another large corporate group would be particularly advantageous.
• Exposure to international tax matters and Group reporting requirements.
• Strong understanding of corporate tax compliance and governance.
• Excellent analytical and data management skills.
• The confidence to question information, investigate inconsistencies and challenge appropriately.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Experience working with external advisers and outsourced providers.
• Exposure to finance transformation, tax technology or tax systems development would be advantageous.

Above all, you will be someone who can quickly understand a complex business, establish credibility with senior stakeholders and take ownership of key deliverables.
