Tax Lead, USA

US Tax Lead

We're hiring a US Tax Lead to shape the tax foundations of the business as we grow across markets and products.

You'll join a growing tax team, working across global structuring, planning, compliance oversight, and launch execution.

The role sits with the Finance Director and includes regular interaction with C-suite leaders, driving discussions on tax risks, structural choices, and long-term planning. As a member of a developing function, you'll also shape how the team evolves as we scale.

We're looking for someone who has meaningful experience in these areas already - someone who can provide direction, drive best practice, and steer how tax supports the business.

3. Geographical Expansion & Product Launches

Work closely with Control and market teams through launch execution to ensure tax processes are compliant, scalable, and aligned with the overall group tax strategy.

Assess tax implications of new products, defining compliance obligations, business impact, and any required structural or operational changes.
