Job Description:

This newly created role will manage direct tax across the Softcat Group including working with advisors on the preparation of corporation tax returns across all regions (UK, APAC, US, Canada and the EU), half-year and full-year consolidated group tax reporting, transfer pricing, Country-by-Country (CbyC) reporting and Pillar 2 submissions. This role will be pivotal to developing and improving Softcat's direct tax processes, with assistance from advisors and the wider tax team.

Job Responsibility:

  • Coordinating UK and international corporation tax submissions and reporting requirements
  • Preparing consolidated group tax reporting and statutory tax notes with advisor support
  • Managing transfer pricing compliance, CbC reporting and Pillar 2 calculations
  • Liaising with auditors, Treasury and finance teams to support tax processes and deadlines
  • Driving tax strategy, ensuring compliance and delivering ad‑hoc direct tax projects
  • Management and support of one direct report

Requirements:

  • An accounting or tax qualification (ACCA/ACA/CTA) with 2–4 years' post‑qualification experience
  • 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 judgement and a pragmatic, solutions‑focused mindset
  • Comfort working in a fast‑paced and sometimes ambiguous environment
