Senior Tax Manager

Senior Tax Manager / $205K - $255K + Super / Car Allowance / 15% STI

This is more than a technical tax role. It's an opportunity to step into the strategic core of a high-performing finance team in a thriving, global business.

We're looking for a Senior Tax Manager who wants to work on the business. You'll be directly responsible for shaping strategy, advising senior executives and the board, and influencing major commercial decisions, rather than simply managing compliance and lodgments.

This is Brisbane based with relocation support available for a successful applicant from interstate.

To summarise why this opportunity is a great career choice for you:

You'll get a strategic seat at the table

You won't be buried in compliance work. Instead, you'll be advising the Board and Executive Team on high-stakes decisions, and you'll be reporting directly to C-Suite.

From major transactions and international structuring to large-scale business projects. If you want to move into a more commercial, strategic role, this is the position you're looking for.

Global leader

You'll join a prestigious international group with a history of innovation. This company has built its reputation on premium quality, advanced technology, and close collaboration with customers. With a strong local presence, the Brisbane operation reflects the company's unwavering commitment to excellence, technological leadership, and industry-defining standards.

They're an equal opportunity employer committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. They value diversity in all forms, and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds, experiences, and identities.

You'll join a high-performing, people-first team

You'll be joining a tight-knit leadership group that values collaboration, trust, and professional growth. This isn't just a strong business, it's recognised as a great place to work. The division you'll be part of consistently ranks highest in employee engagement across the organisation, and people here genuinely enjoy what they do and who they do it with. You'll be joining a 50 plus person division made up of Finance, Tax, and Procurement professionals. The tax team has six people in total, including your four direct reports.

Group exposure

This role gives you cross-functional exposure across Finance, Operations, and Global teams. You'll influence how the business is structured, how deals are done, and how the company adapts to change. It's a rare chance to step out of a purely technical lane and become a true business partner.

Exceptional support

You won't be thrown in the deep end. You'll receive outstanding onboarding, making sure you're confident in the business, the team, and the expectations from day one.

Outstanding package

You'll get a salary package that puts you at the top end of the market, including a generous superannuation rate, car allowance, and performance bonus, you'll be well rewarded for your expertise and leadership.

Flexibility

This is a business that values their people and as such, you'll also get 2-days WFH post probation.

What You'll Do:

In addition to managing a team, this is a role that will offer you several responsibilities:

• Lead direct and indirect tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions
• Provide strategic tax and transfer pricing advice to business leaders
• Guide transaction structuring, contractual tax matters, and invoicing
• Oversee tax accounting and statutory reporting requirements
• Manage transfer pricing documentation and compliance
• Maintain tax policies and ensure jurisdictional compliance
• Lead tax audits and manage regulatory communications
• Monitor and mitigate tax risks across entities
• Develop and deliver tax training to key stakeholders
• Stay ahead of tax law changes and advise on business impact
• Support cross-border projects and complex transactions
• Advise finance leadership and contribute to board reporting
• Engage with external parties to negotiate tax matters

What You'll Bring:

As you would expect with a position of this significance, we're highly selective when it comes to requirements and experience to ensure that we get the best person possible. Therefore, we're looking for you to have the following:

• Degree-qualified and CA/CPA, with professional memberships such as the Tax Institute, AICD, or Governance Institute.
• Strong technical Australian tax knowledge and leadership experience; ideally a 50/50 balance.
• Background in a large corporate or multinational (or Head of Tax role in a sizeable business) with strong commercial acumen.
• Strategic mindset and an ability to visualise how Tax affects the entire business with an ability to articulate this to different levels of the organisation.
• Outstanding communication; written and verbal.

Interview Process:

This is a 3-stage interview which will commence approximately 21st August. Interviews will consist of a mix of local and international leadership including psychometric testing.
