Tax Compliance Manager Tax compliance roles often sit at one end of a spectrum. Either you're deep in filings with little strategic input, or you're advising from a distance without the tools or authority to fix what you find. If you're looking for something in between, this might be it. The Opportunity This is a compliance role with real breadth. You'll be responsible for the Tax Compliance Management System, which means identifying weaknesses, designing corrective measures, and following them through to completion. It's not a function that signs off on other people's work. You'll be doing the thinking and driving the change. There's also an unusual element: the role involves active involvement in tax clauses within separation agreements, including coordination and independent resolution of queries. That requires someone equally comfortable with legal documents and commercial context, not just tax returns. The business is also interested in how automation and AI can improve tax processes, so if you've been wanting to put those interests to practical use in a large-organisation setting, there's scope to do that here. The Role Develop and maintain the organisation's tax compliance strategy in line with German and international requirements Run regular risk reports and present findings to management Identify weaknesses in the Tax CMS and Tax Risk Management framework, and own the design and implementation of corrective measures Coordinate with internal reporting units and external tax authorities Advise on tax clauses in separation agreements, including related documentation and query resolution Design and deliver internal training on tax compliance topics The Company A large, internationally active business based in Hannover, with a tax function that operates across multiple jurisdictions and plays an active role in the organisation's risk and governance framework. What You'll Need A German tax adviser qualification (Steuerberater) Experience in tax compliance management systems (Tax CMS), ideally in an in-house environment Comfort working with legal documentation alongside tax matters Fluent German and English, written and spoken How to Apply Get in touch with the MAM Gruppe team.
