• Investigate tax movements, analyse variances, identify drivers and communicate findings to finance teams and auditors.
• Act as the operational contact for internal and external audit, coordinating responses and providing documentation.
• Handle routine HMRC queries, support tax‑related questions and partner with finance teams to ensure compliant outputs.
