About the Role
Our client, a leading technology business headquartered in Hertfordshire, is seeking an experienced VAT Manager to join their in-house tax function on a 12-month initial contract. This is a compliance-led position with meaningful exposure to advisory work and cross-functional project involvement.
The role sits within the Group Tax function and will suit someone comfortable owning end-to-end VAT compliance while also contributing to business change initiatives, systems projects, and ad hoc advisory queries from the wider organisation.
Key Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end UK and multi-jurisdictional VAT/GST compliance, return preparation, review and submission, reconciliations, and balance sheet substantiation while acting as the primary point of contact for HMRC on enquiries and audits.
- Provide day-to-day VAT advisory support to finance, commercial, and legal teams on transactions, contracts, cross-border supply chains, and new product launches, including registration requirements as the group expands into new territories.
- Contribute VAT expertise to wider finance transformation and systems projects (e.g. ERP implementations, automation of VAT determination and reporting), identifying and implementing process efficiencies across the compliance cycle.
- Monitor changes in VAT legislation, assess business impact, and deliver training and guidance to non-tax stakeholders to keep the wider organisation compliant.
