BCom Taxation (essential)
Honours and/or Master’s in Taxation (highly advantageous)
Experience or exposure to international VAT / EU VAT
Strong technical understanding of VAT principles and legislation
Confident communicator who can engage professionally across cultures and borders
Curious, commercially aware, and able to think beyond “tick-box compliance”

What will set you apart

Exposure to EU VAT frameworks
Experience working with or alongside global VAT teams
A professional, personable style – someone who can represent the business internationally

Why consider this role?

Work in a true global VAT environment
Learn from senior specialists with deep EU VAT expertise
Build a long-term career in international taxation, not general accounting
Join a team that values technical depth and strong interpersonal skills
