Senior VAT Analyst

Tax
Permanent
London £55000 - £65000 per annum

Senior Indirect Tax Analyst | London (Hybrid) | Permanent | Up to £65k + bonus

Why this role?

A recognisable international retailer, a varied in-house VAT role, and a tax team that's investing heavily in data and automation.

I'm partnering with a well-known online retailer, selling to millions of customers worldwide, that's growing its in-house tax team with two Senior Indirect Tax Analysts. If you're at Analyst, Senior Analyst or Assistant Manager level and want a role that goes well beyond compliance, this is well worth a look.

What you'll be doing:

• Owning VAT compliance and reporting across the UK, EU and US, including OSS/IOSS, Intrastat and sales tax, and reviewing the work of external providers
• Digging into large datasets to spot trends, outliers and their root causes
• Leading on tax authority audits and enquiries in several countries, from pulling together data and reconciliations to helping draft technical responses
• Being the go-to VAT advisor for commercial, supply chain, finance and tech teams on new projects, system changes and contracts
• Keeping on top of legislative changes, assessing the impact on the business, and helping manage tax risk and controls
• Working with a dedicated tax transformation team on automation, dashboards and better processes
• Running VAT training and awareness sessions across the business

Sound like you?

You'll have solid indirect tax experience from industry, practice or HMRC, a good grasp of UK and EU VAT (ideally cross-border e-commerce), and you'll be confident in Excel with large datasets. It would be a bonus if you also have:

• Retail or e-commerce experience
• Exposure to US sales tax
• Skills in Power BI, SQL or Alteryx
• An ATT, CTA or ACA qualification

The role offers hybrid working with 3 days in the office, plus a performance bonus, private medical and a generous staff discount.

We are committed to continued improvement in terms of diversity and inclusion practices.
