Own the tax agenda for a growing cross-border business. Lead Philippine tax and incentives, and build your Australian and US tax experience with the support of our external advisors.
Why this role
Most tax manager roles keep you in one jurisdiction and one lane. This one does not. You will be the single point of accountability for tax, permits and insurance across our Philippine operations. You will also work directly with our group finance team on Australian and US tax matters. You will report to the Global Financial Controller and have regular visibility with the CFO.
