VAT Compliance Manager
Hybrid | Permanent | Up to £90,000 + 10% bonus
We’re partnering with a large international organisation that’s looking to bring in a VAT Compliance Manager to take ownership of its indirect tax compliance across EMEA.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the management side of VAT. You’ll be leading an established team and overseeing a high-volume compliance operation, while still getting involved in the more complex VAT queries and projects. It’s not a role where you’ll be expected to sit and prepare returns all day.
The role
- Take responsibility for VAT compliance across multiple entities and jurisdictions
- Oversee a high-volume VAT operation, covering both UK and international filings
- Lead, manage and develop an established VAT team
- Plan workloads, manage deadlines and make sure the right checks and controls are in place
- Get involved in higher-risk areas and more complex or escalated VAT issues
- Support the team with technical queries and help develop their VAT knowledge
- Deal with a range of business-led VAT queries, including registrations and one-off projects
- Build relationships with the wider Finance, Tax and business teams
- Look for ways to improve and automate processes, including developments in tax technology and e-invoicing
About you
We’re looking for an experienced VAT professional who is either ready to step into a management role or is already operating at VAT Manager level and looking for a broader opportunity.
You’ll ideally have:
- Solid experience across VAT compliance, ideally covering multiple entities or jurisdictions
- Experience managing, mentoring or developing people
- Strong technical VAT knowledge and the confidence to deal with more complex issues
- Experience overseeing compliance through a team, rather than being solely hands-on with returns
- Good communication and stakeholder management skills
- An interest in improving processes and making better use of technology
- A tax or accounting qualification would be a bonus
What’s on offer
- Up to £90,000 + bonus
- Hybrid working
- An established and supportive team
- Genuine opportunities to progress and develop
- Exposure to process improvement, automation and wider tax projects
- Strong overall benefits package
