* Complete monthly tax calculations, reconciliations, and journals.
* Research complex tax issues and prepare clear supporting memoranda.
* Maintain high-quality workpapers and reconciliations that ensure accuracy and transparency.
* Identify opportunities to automate and improve tax processes, driving efficiency.
* Partner with finance and business teams to strengthen tax risk management and embed effective controls.
* Support internal/external audits and tax authority reviews.
* Stay across legislative changes, assessing their impact on the business.

What's in it for you:

* Impact & variety: Work across a diverse set of tax obligations with exposure to complex and interesting areas of tax.
* Career growth: Be part of a supportive finance team that encourages learning, innovation, and professional development.
* Collaboration: Partner closely with finance and business stakeholders, making a real impact on risk management and process uplift.
* Future focus: Opportunity to be involved in automation, transformation, and building better ways of working.
* Flexibility: Work from home as much as you need
