Working knowledge of transfer pricing principles and documentation; exposure to estate duty helpful. Clear, concise communicator who can simplify complexity for non-tax stakeholders. Ability to work on-site in Bedfordview (preference for candidates within ±30km for hybrid/on-site collaboration). What Success Looks Like Zero missed deadlines; clean SARS outcomes with strong documentation. Robust, audit-ready tax files and accurate tax accounting at month- and year-end. Clear, defensible positions on complex matters; timely, practical guidance to the business. Reduced dispute cycle times and improved quality of submissions. Proactive horizon scanning—no surprises on legislative changes. Trusted relationships across Finance, Legal, and Operations. Rewards & ChallengesYou’ll gain broad exposure across entities and issues, real ownership, and a seat at the table for key decisions. The pace can be demanding—tight SARS timelines, evolving legislation, and complex queries—but you’ll have the platform and support to lead with confidence and make measurable impact.
