Strategic Tax Leader

Seeking a Strategic Tax Leader to drive our tax function forward.

This is more than just 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 leader who can shape strategy, advise senior executives and the board, and influence major commercial decisions.

This Brisbane-based role offers relocation support for successful applicants from interstate.

To summarize why this opportunity is a great career choice:

You'll have a seat at the table, advising on high-stakes decisions and reporting directly to C-Suite.

No compliance work here - you'll be focused on strategic advice and big-picture thinking.

From major transactions and international structuring to large-scale business projects, this role offers endless opportunities for growth and development.

You'll join a prestigious international group with a history of innovation, committed to excellence, technological leadership, and industry-defining standards.

We value diversity and welcome applicants from all backgrounds, experiences, and identities.

You'll be part of a tight-knit leadership group that values collaboration, trust, and professional growth.

The division consistently ranks highest in employee engagement across the organisation, and people genuinely enjoy what they do and who they do it with.

This role gives cross-functional exposure across Finance, Operations, and Global teams, influencing how the business is structured and deals are done.

Don't worry - we won't throw you in the deep end. You'll receive outstanding onboarding and support from day one.

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.

This is a business that values their people, offering flexible working arrangements and a 2-day WFH option post-probation.

Responsibilities include leading direct and indirect tax compliance, providing strategic tax advice, guiding transaction structuring, and managing transfer pricing documentation.

You'll also oversee tax accounting and statutory reporting requirements, lead tax audits, and monitor and mitigate tax risks.

We're highly selective about our candidates, so we're looking for someone with a degree qualification, CA/CPA membership, and strong technical Australian tax knowledge and leadership experience.

A background in a large corporate or multinational is ideal, as is a strategic mindset and ability to articulate tax implications to different levels of the organisation.
