TAX Professional - Generalist

We are seeking a versatile and highly experienced Tax Professional to join our London office. This is a "hands-on" leadership role designed for an expert who thrives in a fast-paced global trading environment. You will be the primary point of contact for the UK and EMEA regions, overseeing a diverse tax portfolio that spans corporate tax, VAT, transfer pricing, and operational tax.

As a Senior Tax Manager, you won’t just be crunching numbers; you will be a strategic partner to our trading desks and global offices, ensuring that our rapid expansion is met with robust compliance and innovative tax planning.

1. Global Compliance & Reporting: Lead the end-to-end tax accounting and reporting process for UK and international entities under IFRS and local GAAPs.

3. Indirect Tax: Oversee VAT compliance and strategy for complex financial transactions, ensuring efficient recovery and reporting across multiple jurisdictions.
4. Transfer Pricing: Manage and refine the Group’s transfer pricing documentation, ensuring that intercompany recharges and profit-sharing arrangements are aligned with OECD guidelines.
5. Risk Management: Proactively identify and mitigate tax risks. Lead the relationship with HMRC and other relevant tax authorities, managing audits and inquiries.
6. Operational Tax: Advise on withholding tax (WHT) issues, FATCA/CRS reporting, and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (SDRT) as it relates to high-volume trading.
7. Process Improvement: Drive the automation of tax workflows, leveraging technology to enhance the accuracy and speed of global tax reporting.

1. Qualified Professional: ACA, CTA, or ACCA (or equivalent international qualification) with significant post-qualified experience.
2. Generalist Mindset: You should be equally comfortable discussing a corporate tax return, a VAT partial exemption calculation, or a complex transfer pricing model.
3. Adaptable: Experience working in a high-growth environment where priorities can shift rapidly.
4. Clear Communicator: The ability to translate complex tax legislation into actionable advice for non-tax stakeholders.
