Senior Manager – VAT Advisory (Technology, Digital & Media)

A rare opportunity for an experienced VAT professional to lead a key advisory service line within a global technology business, working at the centre of some of the most innovative and fast-growing digital, technology, media, and consumer platforms in the market.

This is a highly commercial role where you will partner directly with senior stakeholders across product, commercial, finance, legal, and operations teams, providing strategic VAT advice on major business initiatives. From international expansions and new product launches to emerging digital services, technology innovation, and evolving business models, you will play a pivotal role in helping the business scale and grow across EMEA.

Leading a team of VAT specialists, you will act as the trusted advisor to the business, taking ownership of a diverse and complex portfolio while ensuring tax considerations are embedded into decision-making from the outset. Success in this role will require the ability to translate highly technical VAT matters into clear, practical, and commercially focused advice that enables stakeholders to move forward with confidence.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading a VAT advisory service line supporting a broad portfolio of technology, digital, and media businesses.
  • Acting as the primary VAT business partner to senior commercial stakeholders.
  • Advising on international expansion projects, new product and service launches, business restructurings, and innovative commercial initiatives.
  • Supporting the tax implications of cross-border digital services, indirect tax transformation projects, and changing regulatory requirements.
  • Translating complex technical issues into clear and actionable recommendations for non-tax audiences.
  • Leading and developing a team of VAT professionals while driving collaboration across wider tax, finance, legal, and compliance functions.
  • Contributing to the broader indirect tax strategy and ensuring a consistent, proactive approach to business support.

This is an outstanding opportunity to combine technical expertise, leadership, and commercial influence in a business renowned for innovation. The role offers exposure to some of the most exciting technology, digital, and media projects in the market, making it ideal for a senior VAT professional who enjoys working closely with the business and shaping strategic decision-making.
