  • Maintain and manage the tax compliance calendar across all entities and jurisdictions
  • Support internal and external tax audits and liaise with auditors and regulators
  • Engage with regulatory bodies, gaming boards, and external advisors across Africa
  • Improve and strengthen tax compliance processes aligned with internal controls and SOX requirements
