Global Sustainable Mobility & Technology Group – VAT Manager

Join a fast-growing, technology-led group and take a hands-on advisory role in its in-house Indirect Tax function, supporting UK and EU VAT across the business. This is a great opportunity to help shape VAT strategy at a time when tax requirements are becoming more complex with developments such as VIDA and real-time reporting.

You'll work at the heart of the business, partnering with Finance, Operations and Commercial teams to give practical, timely VAT advice on new business offerings, cross-border transactions and complex VAT matters. This is a role with real scope to strengthen controls, improve processes and systems, and build a more robust VAT framework across the Group.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
