From day one, you contribute to   tax structuring and transfer pricing assistance   ,   group      tax processes   and broader   international tax support   .

Support   quarterly and annual tax accounting   , including   tax provisions   , and contribute to tax audit strategies, collaboration with external advisors, and support in administrative or judicial tax defense matters when needed.
Work closely with   Legal   , Finance, and local teams in an   international, cross‑functional environment   , taking ownership in an autonomous and hands‑on way while balancing operational execution with continuous improvement.
