Head of Tax Compliance & Reporting
Location: Leicestershire (3 days per week in the office)
Eton Bridge Partners is partnering with a highly successful FTSE-listed consumer business to appoint a Head of Tax Compliance & Reporting.
The organisation has established itself as one of the UK's standout corporate success stories, consistently outperforming its sector while delivering strong financial performance, continued international expansion and significant growth across both its retail and digital operations.
As the business continues to scale and evolve internationally, a newly created leadership position has been established within the Group Tax function. Reporting directly to the Head of Tax, the successful candidate will become the clear number two within the team, taking ownership of the Group's tax reporting, compliance and governance agenda across a complex multinational group. This is a broad and highly visible role, leading a well-established and well-resourced team across corporate tax, indirect tax and customs, while helping shape the future direction of the function.
Alongside responsibility for tax reporting and compliance across multiple jurisdictions, the successful candidate will play a leading role in driving process improvement, automation and tax technology transformation as the function continues to evolve.
