About The Role
We are seeking a Tax Compliance & Operations Manager to own the group's day-to-day tax compliance and operations as the structures scale.
Reporting to the VP of Tax and working closely with finance, people/payroll, and external advisors, this is a hands-on, build-it-from-scratch role with broad exposure across the UK, US, Norway, and Spain.
It is ideal for someone who thrives in a high-growth environment and is comfortable building as well as operating.
What You Will Be Doing
- Run the group tax compliance calendar across the UK, US, Norway, and Spain (and further jurisdictions over time), tracking obligations and deadlines, preparing and/or reviewing filings, and coordinating local advisors
- Prepare and review corporate tax computations, including claims and incentives such as R&D credits and capital allowances, and support the tax provision / ASC 740 process feeding group reporting
- Support indirect tax (e.g. VAT / sales taxes) and withholding tax compliance across jurisdictions
- Support the US tax workstream alongside external advisors, including federal and multi-state filings, entity classification, IRA / energy tax credits, and data gathering for GILTI / FDII / BEAT and Pillar 2
- Support US sales-and-use tax and nexus compliance as US revenue comes online, including nexus monitoring, registrations, taxability, and exemption-certificate management
- Own option / ESOP / ESPP tax, payroll-tax interactions, and the related reporting obligations
- Support operational transfer-pricing compliance, including intercompany documentation, data, and cost-plus frameworks
- Support the Senior Accounting Officer (SAO) regime and help stand up tax processes and documentation from a blank sheet, working alongside the internal controls function
- Maintain the tax side of the entity tracker as new SPVs and entities are formed, and manage day-to-day external advisor relationships and audit workstreams
