Group Tax Advisor

Description:

As a Group Tax Advisor, you’ll be a key member of a global tax team, working across regions to support corporate tax compliance, reporting and strategic advisory work. Reporting to the Group Tax Manager, you’ll play an important role in ensuring the Group meets its global tax obligations accurately and efficiently.

You will take the lead on UK corporation tax compliance and contribute significantly to group tax reporting under IFRS, working closely with finance teams, external advisers and auditors. Your work will help deliver robust reporting, forecasting and governance across the Group.

Beyond compliance, you’ll act as a trusted business partner, advising on transactions and projects such as M&A, restructurings and refinancing, supporting transfer pricing and BEPS Pillar 2 initiatives, and helping identify opportunities to optimise tax outcomes. You’ll also drive process improvements, strengthen controls and build tax awareness across the organisation.
