This is a hands‑on role focused on ensuring timely, accurate, and audit‑ready filings and returns, strengthening controls, and improving efficiency through process improvement and technology including the evaluation and responsible use of AI tools.

• Assist with the US GAAP tax provision process for EMEA: prepare and validate tax provision inputs, support book‑to‑tax adjustments, analyze temporary/permanent differences, assist with deferred tax calculations and contribute to footnote data; coordinate with US finance and external auditors as required.
• Ensure timely delivery of tax data into global tax and finance systems; maintain and improve reconciliation and control frameworks between tax, statutory and management accounts.
• Identify opportunities to improve tax compliance processes by challenging current practices, removing inefficiencies and supporting implementation of stronger, scalable processes and controls.
• Evaluate, pilot and responsibly adopt new technologies and automation (including AI‑assisted tools) to increase accuracy, reduce manual effort and enhance reporting ensuring appropriate governance, data privacy and auditability.
• Provide technical support on UK and EU corporate tax matters, transactional queries and tax risk assessments; prepare research and brief senior tax colleagues for escalation where necessary.
• Coordinate with and manage day‑to‑day requests to external tax advisors and service providers for compliance, advisory and audit support; review deliverables for accuracy and completeness.
• Support tax audits and enquiries from tax authorities; prepare working papers, draft responses and liaise with external counsel and senior tax team members.
• Prepare management reporting and metrics on tax positions, compliance status, exposures and opportunities; present findings to senior finance and tax stakeholders as directed.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with key internal stakeholders across Finance, the International Tax Team, and other functions that impact tax.
• Provide input into raising awareness in the business to minimise error via a rolling education programme.
• Support management of the group’s relationship with HMRC and European tax authorities with respect to indirect taxes.
• Support tax authority audits and enquiries: issues and escalation.
