- Oversee European VAT compliance and manage external advisors
- Ensure robust controls, governance, and risk management frameworks are in place
- Drive process optimisation, systems enhancements, and efficiencies across the tax function
- Act as the senior point of contact for VAT, including engagement with tax authorities where required
- Support broader tax matters, including corporate tax oversight and collaboration with group tax
Candidate profile:
- Qualified (ACA / ACCA / CTA or equivalent)
- Extensive UK VAT experience, ideally within financial services
- Proven ability to operate in a standalone, senior capacity with full ownership
- Strong technical and advisory skillset with commercial awareness
- Confident stakeholder manager with the ability to influence at senior level
This is a high-impact role suited to an experienced VAT professional seeking full ownership, leadership exposure, and the opportunity to broaden into wider tax matters within a global business.
