About the Role

Reporting to the Tax Director, you'll play a key role in managing the tax compliance and advisory requirements across a diverse corporate group.

• Collaborating effectively with other business units and supporting ongoing business operations
• Assisting in the business's ATO engagement programs, including preparation of supporting documentation and responses

About You

You'll bring strong technical tax experience gained from a Big 4 or mid-tier accounting firm, with exposure to corporate tax compliance and advisory for large or complex clients.

We're looking for someone who is:

• CA/CPA or CTA qualified (or near completion)
• Experienced in corporate income tax and FBT compliance
• Confident communicating with senior stakeholders and external advisers
• Looking to make their first move into a commercial in-house role
• Proactive, adaptable, and eager to broaden their skillset beyond pure compliance

What's on Offer

• Competitive salary package and benefits
• Hybrid working model - 3 days in the office, 2 from home
• Direct mentorship from an experienced Tax Director (ex-Big 4)
• Exposure to board-level reporting, projects, and commercial strategy
• Excellent career development and work-life balance

If you're ready to take your first step out of professional services into a commercial environment - this is the perfect role to launch your in-house tax career.
