Our client is a specialist online retailer, whose technological prowess means their customers enjoy the best digital marketplace experience. It also means the company is able to sell its expertise to other, more traditional players in their market with less up to date websites and portals.
Multinational online trading causes serious complexities in Indirect Tax, both VAT and Customs duties, so our client has a significant in house team and wants to expand this. They are seeking a Manager to join the team as part of medium term succession planning, which is essential for a responsible business.
It is crucial that candidates have strong technical understanding of EU Indirect Tax, including recent and imminent changes to case law which would impact a business of this type, i.e. a digital marketplace.
The role will support the head of Tax and Head of Indirect Tax, overseeing Compliance, Governance (e.g. SOX), Controls/Process and Tax Technology.
Experience working in house, either permanently or as a secondee from a large accounting firm, is preferred. Also an understanding of Onesource is a bonus, but tax technology in general should be something you are comfortable handling.
This role offers the chance of progression, which can sometimes be hard to achieve in commercial roles.
