This requires the ability to think strategically about the company's business goals and objectives, and to identify and assess tax risks and opportunities.
  • Leadership and communication skills: Ability to lead and manage a team of tax professionals, and to communicate complex tax issues to both technical and non-technical audiences. This includes the ability to build relationships with all the stakeholders.

Qualification & Experience required:

  • Professional qualification: LLM or other relevant professional qualification.
