This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Do you like variety and enjoy a challenge? Can you focus on the timely and efficient delivery of the day to day tax compliance while simultaneously fostering and maintaining effective relationships to support strategic priorities? Are you experienced in engaging with both internal and external stakeholders? Are you highly organised with a flexible and positive approach to problem solving?

You will play a key role in enabling the team to meet the University’s tax compliance obligations, undertaking data analysis and providing advice on a range of tax issues.

This is a fantastic opportunity for personal and professional development for the right candidate, building on your existing expertise and acquiring new skills.
