You will work closely with the Global Tax team, regional finance leads, controllership, and external advisors to ensure the company meets its European tax compliance and reporting obligations. This role requires a high degree of autonomy, strong technical tax knowledge, and the ability to manage multiple stakeholders across jurisdictions. You will play a key role in strengthening tax processes, enhancing controls, and driving consistency across the European region, while continuing to build your expertise in international tax and financial reporting under both US GAAP, IFRS, and Local GAAP.
You will be responsible for:
- Oversee the preparation and review of corporate income tax returns and related filings across multiple European jurisdictions in coordination with external advisors.
- Manage the quarterly and annual tax provision process for European entities under US GAAP, IFRS, and Local GAAP, including review of current and deferred tax calculations, return-to-provision analysis, and tax account reconciliations.
- Partner with finance and accounting teams to gather, review, and validate data required for tax compliance and reporting.
- Monitor tax payments, filing deadlines, and statutory obligations across all assigned jurisdictions, ensuring timely and accurate compliance.
- Review and assess the tax treatment of business transactions, intercompany flows, and operational changes impacting the European region.
- Support tax audits, inquiries, and notices from European tax authorities; coordinate responses and manage relationships with local advisors and authorities.
- Identify opportunities to improve, standardize, and automate tax compliance and reporting processes across the region.
- Contribute to the enhancement of tax controls and documentation to support governance and audit readiness.
- Collaborate with the global tax team on international tax matters, including planning, forecasting, and cross-border considerations.
- Support broader finance and tax initiatives, including systems implementations and process improvements impacting tax reporting.
- Provide guidance and informal mentorship to junior team members and act as a key point of contact for European tax matters internally.
- During an initial period, provide support on Luxembourg-based activities in close coordination with the local finance function, contributing to continuity of critical financial and reporting processes.
You should apply if you have:
- A degree in Accounting, Finance, Tax, or a related field; professional qualification (e.g., ACA, ACCA, CTA or equivalent) preferred.
- Typically 6–10+ years of corporate tax experience, with strong exposure to European income tax compliance and tax accounting.
- Experience managing multi-country tax compliance processes, ideally across several European jurisdictions.
- Strong technical knowledge of corporate income tax, tax provisioning (US GAAP and/or IFRS or LUX GAAP), and deferred tax accounting.
- Familiarity with transfer pricing concepts and intercompany transactions.
- Experience working with external advisors and coordinating cross-border tax matters.
- Understanding financial services or fintech industry is advantageous.
- Strong Excel skills and ability to work with large datasets to support tax analysis and reporting.
- Experience with ERP and consolidation systems (e.g., Oracle, FCCS) is helpful but not required.
- High attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and competing priorities across jurisdictions.
- Strong communication skills and ability to interact effectively with finance, legal, and business stakeholders across different regions.
- Self-starter with a proactive mindset and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced, global environment.
- Curiosity and commercial awareness, with an ability to connect tax requirements to broader business operations.
