Tax Compliance & Operations Manager

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

What You Bring

• Professional qualification (ACA / CTA / ACCA or equivalent), Big 4 or strong in-house trained

• Corporate tax background with genuine multi-entity exposure and a solid UK corporate tax compliance foundation

• Demonstrable experience owning a full compliance cycle end-to-end with genuine autonomy

• Comfortable independently owning a compliance calendar and managing advisor relationships

• Highly organised and process-oriented, with a builder's mindset — happy creating structure and documentation where little exists

• Clear communicator who can work across finance, people/payroll, and external advisors

Nice to Have

• US tax exposure (federal and/or multi-state), or broader cross-border / inbound-outbound experience

• Equity / employment tax experience (options, ESOP, etc.)

• Tax provision experience (ASC 740 or IAS 12)

• Awareness of controls frameworks (SOX / internal controls) sufficient to work alongside the internal controls function

• Experience in a high-growth, infrastructure, or technology environment, and exposure to ERP / tax system implementation
