Indirect Tax Manager

Reed Finance are partnered with a highly respected, international organisation with a strong reputation and a genuinely global footprint. The business operates across multiple regions and legal entities, making it a complex and interesting environment from a tax perspective. As part of a well-established Group Finance function, this role offers broad exposure and the chance to work at the centre of a large-scale operation.

This position brings together three key elements - ownership of global indirect tax compliance, acting as a trusted advisor across the business, and working closely with stakeholders to support commercial activity and change. It's a hands-on role where you'll be trusted to take responsibility and be visible across different parts of the organisation.

From a compliance perspective, you'll be overseeing VAT/GST obligations across a number of jurisdictions, working with finance teams globally to ensure everything is accurate, well-managed, and delivered on time. Alongside this, you'll be the main point of contact for indirect tax - fielding questions, providing guidance, and helping the business navigate day-to-day issues as well as more complex scenarios. There's also a strong business partnering element, giving you the opportunity to get involved in projects, understand new initiatives, and influence how tax is considered in decision-making.

They're looking for someone who is comfortable operating in a large, complex finance environment and can balance technical knowledge with a practical, commercial mindset. You'll need solid experience in indirect tax compliance, along with exposure to international VAT/GST, whether that's across the UK and Europe or in a wider global capacity.

Equally important is your ability to interact with the business. You should be confident acting as a key point of contact, able to respond to queries clearly, and build relationships with stakeholders across different levels and functions. Strong communication skills and a pragmatic approach will be essential.

Candidates coming straight from practice will absolutely be considered, particularly if you've worked with a portfolio of clients that are similar in scale, complexity, and international reach.

This is a good opportunity for someone who wants more than just a compliance-focused role. You'll be working in a business where tax has a voice, with the chance to get involved in projects, systems, and wider commercial activity. It offers a mix of technical challenge and stakeholder exposure, within an organisation that values expertise and operates on a truly global scale.
