An Indirect Tax Analyst / Tax Junior is required to join a company in Hull and an expanding Tax and Treasury team.

• Identifying and reviewing key data metrics for compliance with SAO provisions.
• Responding to operational tax queries from both internal and external stakeholders.
• Reviewing employee expenses and related invoices to identify further VAT recovery opportunities.
• Providing support for direct tax related activities and project work as required.

The role also offers the opportunity to continually develop as a tax professional through supporting the Group’s tax function in other areas of taxation.

THE PERSON:

With the global headquarters in London, this role offers the opportunity to work in our central finance function based out of Hull. If required a hybrid contract can be offered to allow some flexibility for you to work from for part of the week.
