* 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
