** At Vodafone, we’re not just shaping the future of connectivity for our customers – we’re shaping the future for everyone who joins our team. When you work with us, you’re part of a global mission to connect people, solve complex challenges, and create a sustainable and more inclusive world. If you want to grow your career whilst finding the perfect balance between work and life, Vodafone offers the opportunities to help you belong and make a real impact.##

** What you’ll do
** The Group Tax Reporting (‘GTR’) team is responsible for delivering the annual cycle of external and internal tax reporting including half-year and year-end external financial reporting, as well as effective tax rate (‘ETR’) and cash-tax forecasting. In addition the GTR team is responsible for delivering the group’s annual Country by Country Reporting (‘CbCR’) and Global minimum tax (‘Pillar 2’), compliance, as well as producing Vodafone’s Total Economic Contribution reports.

The role requires a significant amount of interaction with Finance & tax systems, and manipulating information in Excel or other D&A tools and there is an expectation the candidate can demonstrate how they can utilise a large language model (‘LLM’/AI) such as Microsoft Copilot. As such, experience using Longview, and/or HFM, and an LLM in a work environment are highly desirable.

Under the guidance of the Head of Group Tax Reporting (‘HoGTR’) this role will deliver key aspects of the half-year and year-end group tax reporting cycle, including specifically the operation of SOX controls (and support continuous improvement activities). The role will further prepare and lead aspects of our internal tax forecasting, and the CbCR and Pillar 2 compliance, including scenario analysis and supporting an increasingly data-driven approach to reporting and governance.

The role is a ‘tax’ business partner with a portfolio of local markets, maintaining good knowledge of local tax rules and the local businesses’ tax profile and supporting and critically challenging local submissions to group, including the underlying data, assumptions and judgements.

The role will interact with Vodafone’s core financial and tax systems HFM and Longview regularly, therefore experience using these systems is highly desirable, however strong Excel capability and experience using other financial and tax systems is otherwise valuable. The role will also support enhancements to reporting processes and control evidence, including through improved data quality, standardisation and selective automation/analytics where appropriate.

Applicants must have a ‘change’ and ‘solution-led’ mindset to support the team in continuous incremental development of our processes, systems and SOX controls.

Whilst relevant experience is important, the ability to influence across the business and stakeholders, ability to raise issues, find solutions and get things done, together with curiosity and a range of good interpersonal skills and a desire for career progression to senior management in this dynamic and fast moving tax department are vital for this candidate
