About the Role

Senior Manager - Tax Reporting & Compliance

The Opportunity

If you want real ownership of a technical tax area without stepping into a director-level remit, this is worth reading.

Deferred taxes are the central focus of this role, and they're yours: the calculation, the review and the documentation. You'll be the person the business relies on to get those numbers right, with the authority to shape how it's done.

You'll report directly to the Head of Tax Reporting and Compliance. That means short decision lines, a direct line to the person setting the function's direction, and a genuine say in how processes develop.

The work also gives you breadth. Alongside deferred taxes, you'll lead on national compliance and contribute to international reporting, so your experience keeps growing while your focus stays sharp.

And because the team actively uses and develops its tax technology, you'll have room to improve how the work gets done rather than inherit a fixed way of working.

The Role

  • Own the calculation, review and documentation of deferred taxes
  • Prepare and review tax figures for financial reporting, including contributions to international reporting processes
  • Manage national tax compliance, making sure filings are accurate, complete and on time
  • Use and further develop the team's tax technology tools to improve efficiency and data quality
  • Work closely with the Head of Tax Reporting and Compliance on technical questions and process development
  • Act as a key contact for finance, accounting and external advisers on reporting and compliance matters

This is a hands-on senior role. You'll stay close to the technical detail, which suits someone who enjoys being the expert in the room as much as improving the process around them.

What You'll Need

  • Substantial experience in tax reporting and tax compliance, gained in industry or professional services
  • Strong technical knowledge of deferred taxes and their treatment in financial statements
  • Confidence working with tax technology tools and data-driven reporting processes
  • Fluent German and strong English
