You’re probably a match if you have:

  • Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive momentum across critical projects
  • An eye for detail, with excellent analytical, problem-solving and organisational skills
  • Proven experience in APAC and EMEA indirect tax compliance, technical advisory (including digital services tax) and driving strategies from MVP to high fidelity solutions
  • The ability to work independently to develop and drive projects and compliance to completion as part of a team in a fast-paced environment.
