Work collaboratively within the Indirect Tax team and with key decision makers to design, develop, promote and deliver a robust indirect tax strategy across the group.

Act as a trusted business partner: assisting accounting, procurement, legal, commercial, regulatory and other colleagues in understanding the VAT, GST and gambling tax considerations of their work and the impact on the wider business.

Work closely with other members of the broader tax team on a range of special projects which require indirect tax expertise, such as M&A, corporate restructuring, dispute resolution, indirect tax analysis of new products and addressing the indirect tax consequences of entry into new markets.

Review VAT, GST and gambling tax returns for a variety of jurisdictions prepared by Indirect Tax Advisers and other finance colleagues, to ensure quality control, reduce the risk of incorrect filings, and help the business comply with its international indirect tax obligations.

Manage relationships with external advisers around the world, such as Big 4 accounting firms and law firms, to ensure the business obtains relevant and useful advice on complex and contentious issues within the available budget.

Provide specialist input to governance and risk management processes (such as Senior Accounting Officer in the UK) and tax authority audits.

Identify and implement opportunities to streamline and create scalable indirect tax return processes to improve the efficiency of the indirect tax team. Comply with new data handling, retention and filing obligations, such as e-invoicing and the "Making Tax Digital" requirements in the UK.
