Top tier corporate group with prestigious European HQ has created an excellent and rare in-house opportunity for an Indirect Tax Systems Manager to take on a regional role, managing roll-out / system implementations projects for taxes within LATAM countries.
Based in a group tax operations team, this key role will handle projects to implement the group's indirect tax strategy for the South American region (specifically Brazil and Argentina), acting as a key link between group tax, tax compliance functions and ERP system capabilities. Key responsibilities will be working through a SAP Tax project lifecycle - recommending changes to SAP templates, requirement gathering, conducting on-site workshops, SAP tax design, system / process testing, followed by post go-live support.
To meet the challenges of this opportunity, it is essential that you have a good understanding of the workings of the tax regimes of Brazil and Argentina. You will also have hands-on knowledge and experience of how tax (particularly indirect tax and withholding tax) and business process is set up within SAP. You will also have a good overview on VAT compliance processes and demands from VAT / tax authorities in South America. In terms of IT exposure, experience of working on VAT condition tables and tax codes within SAP will be key advantage in the role, although you do not need to be a SAP functional specialist. Strong Spanish / Portuguese language skills will also be an advantage in the role.
In addition, you will have strong commercial awareness, excellent communication and influencing skills with senior executives across a business, able to run projects autonomously, and ability to work in a multi-team environment with a variety of different stakeholders.
This is an excellent and rare in-house role with a large multinational to develop your SAP-Tax specialist career.
