• Help raise tax awareness across the organization and promote proactive tax consideration in commercial and operational decision-making.

 

• Contribute in the tax assessment of international expansion projects, including market entry analysis, legal entity set-up considerations, operating model implications, and ongoing tax requirements in new jurisdictions.
• Own and coordinate the tax workstream for M&A, joint ventures, and strategic transactions, including buy-side and sell-side tax due diligence support where relevant.
• Advise on the tax implications of acquisitions, disposals, post-deal integrations, internal reorganizations, and legal entity restructurings.
• Partner with Finance, Legal, Corporate Development, and external advisors to help structure transactions in a tax-efficient and commercially practical manner.
• Assess and communicate transaction-related risks, opportunities, and integration considerations to senior stakeholders.
• Support the implementation of post-acquisition or post-restructuring tax and compliance requirements across the Group.

 

• Coordinate and review transfer pricing documentation, calculations, and intercompany tax matters across the Group.
• Support the tax review of intercompany and cross-border transactions, including withholding tax treatment and broader tax implications.
• Work closely with Finance, Legal, and external advisors to ensure tax positions are properly reflected in intercompany arrangements and operating models.
• Contribute to ensuring consistency between transfer pricing policies, operational execution, and financial reporting.

 

• Identify, assess, and help mitigate tax risks and uncertain tax positions across the Group.
• Maintain and enhance tax governance standards, policies, procedures, and internal controls within the tax function.
• Support the implementation of robust documentation and control frameworks for both direct and indirect tax processes.
• Monitor legislative and regulatory tax developments and assess their impact on the business and tax operating model.

 

• Support and coordinate tax audits, tax authority inquiries, and dispute-related matters across jurisdictions.

• Work with internal and external auditors on tax-related matters and ensure that tax positions are appropriately documented.

• Identify opportunities to improve and automate tax compliance, reporting, and control processes.
• Support tax process transformation and internalization initiatives where appropriate.
