About the Role

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

Senior Manager International Tax

Senior Manager International Tax Most in-house international tax roles put you in a box. One region. One team. A narrow remit that stops you getting close to the business. If you've hit that ceiling and you're ready for something broader, this is worth reading. The Opportunity This is a senior tax role with genuine international scope. You'll be the expert for a portfolio of countries, working directly with local colleagues and external advisers, taking real ownership of tax positions rather than reviewing work that others have done. The work spans the full range: advisory on M&A and restructuring projects, monitoring of tax reporting, health checks at subsidiary level, and keeping a close eye on evolving international frameworks including BEPS and OECD developments. You'll sit close to transactions and have a voice in structuring decisions, not just compliance oversight. It's a role for someone who wants to think strategically as well as technically, and who's comfortable moving between jurisdictions, stakeholders, and workstreams without a lot of hand-holding. The Role Own the tax position for an international portfolio of group companies, including regular engagement with local finance teams and external advisers Monitor local tax law developments and assess the impact on the group Support and coordinate foreign tax audits, acting as the main contact for tax authorities and consultants Review tax reporting with a focus on effective tax rate consistency and tax cash flow Conduct Tax Health Checks, including on-site visits to group companies Advise on M&A transactions, internal restructurings, mergers, and liquidations, with a focus on tax-efficient structuring and post-acquisition integration Support due diligence processes for acquisitions The Company A large, internationally active business with operations across multiple countries and markets. The tax function plays a meaningful role in the business, with exposure to complex cross-border activity and a genuine seat at the table on transactions and restructuring decisions. What You'll Need A German tax adviser qualification (Steuerberater) or comparable international equivalent At least three to five years' experience in international tax, either in-house or in a consulting firm Strong working knowledge of double taxation agreements, OECD guidelines, BEPS, withholding taxes, and international tax structures Fluent English and German How to Apply Get in touch with the MAM Gruppe team.
