- Lead VAT compliance audits and implement system/process changes to reflect new legislation
- Design and implement a new VAT training strategy for staff across the organization

- Expertise in tax legislation and strong analytical abilities
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to engage with colleagues at all levels
- Experience of working within a large complex organization would be helpful, but is not essential
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively, managing conflicting workloads and deadlines
