Group Tax Accounting & Reporting Manager M/F

Company Description

Egis is an international engineering and mobility group operating in over 100 countries with ca. 20,000 employees and EUR 2B+ revenue. The Group has doubled in size in three years and is targeting EUR 4 billion by 2029, driven by international acquisitions that are rapidly expanding the consolidation perimeter and the complexity of tax reporting obligations.

We are looking for a Group Tax Accounting & Reporting Manager to own the consolidated tax provision, Group ETR reporting, and tax data coordination across Pillar Two, CbCR, and IFRIC 23.

Reporting to Group Consolidation & Accounting Department (hard line) with a functional line (dotted line) to the Group Tax Department, you will be embedded within the Group Finance team and act as the central point of contact between Consolidation, Tax, and external auditors on all tax accounting matters.

This is a newly created role: you will shape the processes, tools, and governance from the ground up.
