• Direct liaison with tax authorities for indirect tax related matters and enquiries.
• Spotting opportunities for continuous improvement within the indirect tax function, including supporting with ongoing tax governance/risk process design and implementation.
• Building an internal/external network to educate the business and influence on indirect tax interests on an industry level.

The successful candidate's CV should demonstrate:

• CTA qualification
• Prior UK VAT advisory experience, ideally within a complex and regulated business
• Has reviewed indirect tax returns
• Prior experience working with a partially exempt business
• Prior financial services experience and the ability to grasp complex matters
• International VAT advisory experience is desirable, but not essential.

What the successful interviewee looks like:

• A technically competent advisor, who can provide a pragmatic approach to advising business units.
• Communication skills, including the ability to relay complex information to generalist finance and business stakeholders.
• Stakeholder management skills, including the ability to push back to senior parties where necessary.
