    Responsibilities

    • Lead on direct tax compliance across the Softcat Group, including working with advisors on the preparation of corporation tax returns across UK, APAC, US, Canada and the EU, as well as half-year and full-year consolidated group tax reporting, transfer pricing, Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting and Pillar 2 submissions.
    • Develop and improve Softcat's direct tax processes with assistance from advisors and the wider tax team; bring preparation of some returns in-house and establish processes for new returns as required by multinational expansion or legislation.
    • Handle ad-hoc project work and employment tax matters (such as PAYE Settlement Agreements) as required.
    • Coordinate UK and international corporation tax submissions and reporting requirements.
    • Prepare consolidated group tax reporting and statutory tax notes with advisor support.
    • Manage transfer pricing compliance, CbC reporting and Pillar 2 calculations.
    • Liaise with auditors, Treasury and finance teams to support tax processes and deadlines.

    • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across teams and seniority levels.
    • A proactive, curious approach with a drive to learn, improve processes and progress.
    • Confidence, strong judgment and a pragmatic, solutions-focused mindset.
    • Comfort working in a fast-paced and sometimes ambiguous environment.
    • Awareness that confidence gaps and imposter syndrome are real, and an invitation to apply anyway.
