• Draft tax positions and guidance for business stakeholders and run internal training sessions
• Liaise with internal stakeholders and external advisers (Big 4 and others) on technical and compliance matters
• Support ad hoc tax input on new products, process improvements and corporate transactions such as restructuring and IPO readiness

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Accountancy or a related field, with professional accreditation such as ATA by SCTP
• 10-12 years of relevant tax experience; financial services tax experience strongly preferred
• Track record applying tax knowledge across multiple jurisdictions and complex group structures
• Experience with international transfer pricing (documentation, policy design, audit defence) in a cross-border, multi-entity environment
• Experience building tax governance frameworks (standards, risk registers, SOPs) is a strong plus
• Familiarity with FATCA/CRS/CARF is a plus
• Excellent communication skills, able to explain technical tax positions to non-tax stakeholders
• Self-starter comfortable with ambiguity in a fast-paced, start-up-like environment
