Operations Support Analyst
Description
Our client is a global VAT and tax compliance specialist, part of one of the largest tax recovery groups in the world — operating across multiple jurisdictions and servicing clients worldwide.
They call their Operations Support team "The All-Rounders." That should tell you everything about what this role demands.
The Role
This is a cross-functional, high-impact analyst position sitting at the heart of the business — managing compliance cases, driving R&D initiatives, leading internal projects, and liaising directly with clients, tax authorities, and stakeholders across the globe.
You won't be siloed. You'll work across departments, jurisdictions, and problem types — building deep expertise in global VAT and US Sales Tax while contributing to the operational engine of a fast-moving international business.
Important to note: The first 12 months are structured as a foundational learning period — building core knowledge of systems, processes, and workflows before stepping into more complex, high-impact responsibilities. This is a long-game role for someone who wants to be built properly.
