** Applicants from anywhere in Europe welcomed **
This is an opportunity for a VAT professional with SAP experience to join the headquarter tax department of a highly successful green technology multinational company headquartered in the Remscheid, Germany. It is one of the largest companies in this industry sector in Europe with activities focused on the development of green products, and energy-saving and environmentally friendly products.
The tax department has a great reputation within the company, giving them freedom to be proactive and think ahead to boost the business. The role will be mainly focused on VAT business partnering. When topics come up you need to provide a practical response to solve challenges. The business needs regular support for new flows and new structures. Also there are new VAT rules coming into many different countries, e.g. China- so you would need to work with IT professionals to solve these legislative changes. It will be a combination of project management and business advice. They have automated the VAT reporting and compliance to the press of a button, but there is a need to do some spot checks.
It requires a minimum of 4 years VAT experience but ideally you will have a bit more experience. Good IT skills are needed, especially experience with SAP. Ideally you will have VAT-relevant settings in the FI, SD and MM modules. The ability to speak English is required.
This is a fun and dynamic team. To find out more on this opportunity, please contact Will Sheppard on +44 20 3457 2626 (office), +44 7818 519 396 (mobile) or email: will@bpasearch.co.uk
