The Indirect Tax Team sits within our EMEA Shared Services Centre and provides tax compliance across the region for all business lines. As WMG transitions to SAP S/4HANA, the team plays a crucial role in embedding tax processes into new systems and ensuring data integrity and compliance across multiple territories.

Your role:
The Indirect Tax Analyst is responsible for the end-to-end preparation of indirect and withholding tax (WHT)compliance. This role is designed for a detail-professional who thrives in a controlled, process-driven environment. You will be responsible for ensuring that all tax filings are accurate, fully reconciled to the General Ledger, and supported by a comprehensive audit trail before moving to management sign-off.

• Deliver High-Quality Compliance: Manage the preparation of VAT, WHT, and statutory reports (Intrastat, EC Sales) for the EMEA region, ensuring all submissions meet both local requirements and global tax controls.

• Ensure Data Integrity: Perform mandatory end-to-end reconciliations between ERP data and tax reporting modules, identifying and resolving variances at the source.

• Execute Quality Controls: Prepare and maintain comprehensive "audit-ready" documentation for every filing, ensuring all internal checklists and control requirements are satisfied.

• Manage Stakeholder Relationships: Act as the primary point of contact for regional affiliates regarding data queries, ensuring any adjustments are supported by clear financial reconciliations.

• Track Global Milestones: Maintain internal compliance trackers to ensure real-time visibility of filing statuses, payments, and refunds across the region.

• Drive Continuous Improvement: Identify system anomalies and process gaps, collaborating with the Process Improvement team to enhance SOPs and system workflows.

• Collaborate Strategically: Work under a unified departmental voice to resolve technical tax queries and participate in cross-functional meetings with Finance and Global Tax leadership.

About you:

• You have a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, Business, or related field.

• 2+ years of experience performing indirect tax compliance VAT accounting, preferably within a large multinational or Shared Service environment.

• Good understanding of UK and EU VAT regulations.

• You have a "right first time" mindset and a commitment to maintaining rigorous documentation standards.

• Strong work-ethic, attention to detail, problem solving and analytical mindset.

• You have demonstrated an ability to think critically, an ability to multi-task and prioritize projects, and an ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines while maintaining a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.

• You are a professional and clear communicator who understands the importance of following escalation protocols and maintaining departmental alignment.

• Experience working with S/4 HANA, OneSource Indirect tax Determination, or OneSource Indirect tax Compliance modules is preferred.

We’d love it if you also had:

• Language fluency in English plus proficiency in another regional language would be a plus: Italian, French, German, or Spanish.

• Experience with workflow management tools (such as JIRA) and incident-triage platforms (PEGA).
