Indirect Tax Transformation Manager

As we deploy SAP S/4 Hana and other technologies, our vision for a radically transformed Indirect Tax (ITX) Compliance process is gradually becoming a reality. These innovative technologies enable Tax to be responsible for the complete process, from extraction of the required financial data to production of entity returns, whilst minimizing reliance on manual processes and other functions. As part of our tax strategy, our vision is to radically transform ITX processes, and effectively to conduct and manage all our ITX affairs in house.

This transformation requires us to run our existing processes, establish new technology-based capabilities and consolidate all global Indirect Tax activities into our new dedicated Indirect Tax Operations hubs (ITX Ops).

A new transition Team has been established to drive the ITX Compliance into the ITX Ops hubs for all Business Units. This team will be part of the Global Indirect Tax Function and the Transition Manager will report to the Transition Lead.
