• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, including the confidence to challenge information or processes constructively.
• Ability to prioritise and meet recurring deadlines in a fast-paced, international environment.
• Strong English communication skills; additional European languages are an advantage.
• Curiosity and an interest in using tax technology, automation and AI to find smarter ways of working.
