About the Role

Tax Manager

The Opportunity

If you know Swiss corporate tax and VAT inside out but only ever see one slice of it, this role gives you the whole picture.

You'll take full ownership of the tax affairs of a Swiss company within an international group. Compliance, reporting, transfer pricing, Pillar Two and business advice all sit with you. That breadth is rare in a single role, and it builds the kind of rounded experience that usually takes years of moving between teams.

You'll report directly to the Global Head of Tax and present to senior leadership regularly, so your advice shapes real decisions rather than disappearing into a shared inbox.

Coming from advisory? This is your chance to stop advising from the outside and own the outcome. Already in-house? It's a clear step up in scope and visibility.

The Role

  • Own Swiss corporate tax and VAT for the Swiss entity, and oversee filings for its branches and subsidiaries abroad.
  • Manage external advisors in each country, from data collection through to submitted returns and settled assessments.
  • Be the main point of contact for the Swiss tax authorities and auditors, including during tax audits.
  • Prepare quarterly and year-end tax figures, including deferred tax and the effective tax rate.
  • Work with group tax on Pillar Two and the Swiss top-up tax, giving you hands-on experience of one of the biggest changes to international tax in years.
  • Run the quarterly transfer pricing model, allocate profits to the foreign branches and keep documentation current.
  • Advise on indirect tax, withholding tax and cross-border matters, then turn that advice into processes the business actually uses.
  • Support the commercial and billing teams on tax questions around contracts and invoices.
  • Maintain the tax risk and control framework and present your findings to management.

You'll work closely with Finance, Accounting, Legal and Treasury, so you'll see exactly how your decisions land across the business.

The Company

Our client is an international group with entities in several countries. The Swiss company sits at the centre of a cross-border structure, which means genuine international complexity from day one. You'll have the independence to run Swiss tax your way, with an experienced group tax function alongside you on the biggest questions.

What You'll Need

  • At least 3 years in tax, in an advisory firm or a multinational's in-house team.
  • Strong knowledge of Swiss corporate tax and VAT.
  • A good grasp of international tax, tax accounting and transfer pricing.
  • Experience managing external advisors across multiple countries.
  • Fluent German and English.

Tax Specialist

Tax Specialist The Opportunity If you know tax compliance inside out but spend more time filing than improving, this is worth a few minutes of your weekend. Our client wants a tax specialist who won't just follow the process, but fix it. You'll be the go-to tax contact for the whole business, with a real say in how tax risk is managed and a clear mandate to digitise how the function works. Which means your ideas get implemented, your work gets seen, and you build the governance and tax technology experience that's hard to get in a pure compliance seat. The Role Advise colleagues on tax matters and review new initiatives before they launch, so tax is built in from the start rather than fixed afterwards. Own tax compliance governance: keep policies current, test key processes and work with internal audit on regular reviews. Track legislative change and turn it into clear, practical guidance for the teams it affects. Design and run training that builds tax awareness across the business. Manage the tax technology and find ways to automate and streamline how the function works. What You'll Need A recognised tax background, whether through study, a vocational tax qualification, or further training alongside practical experience. Hands-on experience of tax compliance and filing. How to Apply Interested? Get in touch with the MAM Gruppe team for a confidential conversation about this role.

Head of Tax Accounting

Head of Tax Accounting The Opportunity If you're already the person everyone calls when deferred tax gets complicated, here's a chance to own the whole agenda. This is a Head of Tax Accounting role with real scope. You won't inherit a finished function and keep it ticking over. You'll decide how tax accounting develops across an international group: the governance, the controls, the processes and the systems behind them. Your judgement will shape how the Group reports its tax position, not just whether this quarter's numbers are right. You'll have an international team to build, a direct line to the executive team and a seat at the table on M&A, joint ventures and restructurings. If your current role has become more about maintaining than building, this is worth a closer look. The Role Lead and develop an international team of tax accounting specialists. Own the Group's current and deferred tax position across the consolidated and entity accounts, delivered to every monthly and annual close. Advise the executive team on complex domestic and international tax matters. Assess the accounting and tax impact of M&A, joint ventures, restructurings and integrations alongside the business. Build a robust tax control environment covering global tax risk, Group-wide policies and supporting processes. Choose and implement the tax technology that makes reporting faster and more reliable. Manage relationships with auditors, external advisers and tax authorities, and work closely with Group Accounting on tax balance sheet issues. The Company Our client is an international industrial group. Tax accounting sits right where tax and finance meet, which means your work feeds directly into the consolidated accounts and into conversations at executive level. The mandate goes beyond reporting. The Group wants someone to modernise how tax accounting works, so you'll have the backing to change processes and introduce new tools rather than fighting for permission. What You'll Need Senior leadership experience in tax accounting, group tax or international financial reporting. A tax adviser qualification. Deep technical knowledge of IFRS, particularly IAS 12. Experience with international tax structures and transfer pricing. Hands-on experience with SAP and consolidation platforms. Business fluency in German and English. How to Apply Interested, or just curious? Get in touch with the MAM Gruppe team for a confidential conversation. Your CV doesn't need to be up to date. Send what you have, or just give us a call.
