💼 The Opportunity

Abacus Careers is recruiting for a Group Tax and Compliance Officer to take ownership of European workforce compliance across employees and subcontractors.

This is a broad, commercially important role covering Posted Worker compliance, cross-border tax and payroll, social security, immigration, and in-country employment requirements.

You’ll work across multiple European jurisdictions, helping ensure employees and subcontractors are fully compliant before mobilization while providing specialist guidance to HR, Finance, Payroll, and Operations.

Reporting to the Group Finance Director, you’ll also coordinate with local payroll providers and external advisers on more complex international tax and legal matters.
