4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Effective Tax Rate (ETR)
The actual percentage of pre-tax income paid in taxes globally.
Target · Maintain ETR within 5 basis points of Board-approved forecast.

If the forecast ETR was 22.5%, achieving 22.48% demonstrates excellent control and forecasting accuracy. A significant deviation would require immediate explanation to the CFO and Board.

Global Tax Cash Flow Optimisation
The amount of cash saved or generated through efficient tax planning, repatriation strategies, and managing tax payments.
Target · Deliver >£10M in annual tax cash flow benefits (e.g., deferrals, credits, efficient repatriation).

Successfully repatriating £50M from an overseas subsidiary with a £2M tax saving due to careful planning, or securing £3M in R&D tax credits.

Audit Assessment & Penalty Reduction
The reduction in tax assessments and penalties from global tax authority audits.
Target · Reduce material audit assessments by 30% year-over-year, aiming for <£500K in total penalties annually.

Negotiating a £5M proposed assessment down to £1M, or preventing a £200K penalty through proactive compliance and robust documentation.

M&A Tax Integration Success
The seamless and tax-efficient integration of acquired entities into our global tax structure.
Target · Achieve 95% tax compliance for acquired entities within 12 months post-acquisition, with no material tax surprises.

Successfully integrating a £100M acquisition's tax function, including ERP tax code mapping and return filing, without triggering unforeseen liabilities or penalties.

Board & Executive Confidence
The level of trust and confidence the Board and Executive Committee have in your ability to manage global tax risk and strategy.
  • You're proactively consulted on all major strategic initiatives (e.g., new market entry, M&A, significant capital investments). The Board Audit Committee relies on your insights and reports without extensive follow-up. You're seen as a trusted advisor, not just a reporter of numbers.
Regulatory & Government Relations
The strength of our relationships with key tax authorities and influence on tax policy.
  • You're recognised as a respected voice in industry forums and with key tax bodies. We receive favourable treatment or early warnings on policy changes. Our positions are heard and considered in legislative debates. We're not constantly battling authorities
  • we're engaging constructively.
Global Tax Team Development & Retention
The ability to attract, develop, and retain top-tier tax talent across our global operations.
  • Our global tax team consistently achieves high engagement scores. Key leadership roles are filled internally. We're seen as a desirable place for tax professionals to work, with clear career paths and development opportunities. Your team is a pipeline for future tax leaders.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Shaping Enterprise Strategy

You'll be in strategic planning meetings with the CEO and CFO, influencing major business decisions from a tax perspective. This isn't about just reporting numbers; it's about being at the table when the biggest decisions are made.

Advising the Board on the tax implications of a major acquisition target, or designing the optimal legal entity structure for a new market entry.

Protecting & Enhancing Shareholder Value

Your work directly impacts the company's financial health, from optimising cash flow to mitigating multi-million pound tax risks. You'll see the tangible results of your strategic decisions in our financial statements and investor presentations.

Implementing a new transfer pricing policy that saves £5M annually, or successfully defending a £20M tax assessment in court.

Navigating Global Complexity

You thrive on the intellectual challenge of understanding and responding to the ever-changing global tax landscape. Every day brings a new regulatory challenge, a new geopolitical shift, or a complex M&A scenario that requires your expertise.

Developing a strategy to comply with the OECD's Pillar Two rules across 50+ jurisdictions, or advising on the tax implications of a new digital business model.

What frustrates people
  • Dealing with business leaders who don't understand tax complexity and want 'quick fixes' for multi-jurisdictional issues.
  • The constant pressure of legislative changes (e.g., Pillar Two, e-invoicing mandates) that require massive system and process overhauls with tight deadlines.
  • Managing a global team across different time zones and cultures, ensuring consistent application of policy.
  • The perception that tax is a 'cost centre' or a 'blocker' rather than a value protector and strategic partner.
  • The sheer volume of data required for compliance and reporting, often coming from disparate, imperfect systems.
What this role does not give you
  • A predictable, routine work schedule – expect urgent, high-stakes issues to land on your desk at any time.
  • An environment free from intense scrutiny and pressure – you'll be regularly presenting to the Board and dealing with external auditors and regulators.
  • The opportunity to be a pure technical specialist – while deep knowledge is crucial, your primary role is strategic leadership and influence.

6Who you work with

This role shapes the company's entire tax posture, influencing capital allocation, M&A strategy, supply chain design, and market entry decisions. Your decisions directly affect our reported earnings, cash repatriation, and overall financial stability. You're essentially a strategic shield, protecting billions in shareholder value from tax risks, whilst also finding compliant ways to optimise our global tax contribution. It's a critical function, not just a cost centre.

Inside the business

  • Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
  • Board of Directors (especially Audit Committee)
  • General Counsel and Legal Team
  • Treasury and Investor Relations
  • Business Unit Presidents and MDs

  • External Auditors
  • Tax Advisors and Consultants (Big 4 firms)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • A minimum of 20 years of progressive experience in corporate tax, with at least 10 years in a senior leadership role within a large multinational organisation or Big 4 public accounting firm.
  • Extensive experience managing a global tax function, including direct and indirect tax, transfer pricing, and tax controversy.
  • Proven track record of successfully navigating complex international tax issues, M&A transactions, and significant tax audits.
  • Demonstrated ability to build, lead, and develop high-performing global tax teams.
  • Exceptional executive presence and communication skills, with a history of effectively engaging with Boards, C-suite executives, and external stakeholders.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Digital Tax Administration & Real-time Reporting

Governments worldwide are rapidly moving towards digital tax administration, including e-invoicing, real-time transaction reporting, and pre-populated returns. This isn't just a compliance headache; it's a fundamental shift in how tax authorities interact with businesses, demanding seamless integration with our financial systems and robust data governance.

Continuous Transaction Control (CTC) · E-invoicing & E-reporting Architectures · Data Harmonisation & Master Data Management · Tax Data Lakes & Analytics

  • This quarter: Conduct a global assessment of current and upcoming digital tax mandates impacting our operations.
  • Next 6 months: Develop a multi-year roadmap for upgrading our ERP and tax engine capabilities to meet CTC and e-invoicing requirements.
  • Next 12 months: Partner with IT and Operations to implement a pilot programme for real-time reporting in a key jurisdiction.
  • Ongoing: Invest in training for your team on data analytics and tax technology to build internal capability.

Quick win: Identify one or two key jurisdictions with imminent e-invoicing mandates and initiate discussions with our IT team and external vendors on potential solutions. Don't wait until it's a crisis.

AI/ML for Tax Policy Modelling & Risk Prediction

AI and Machine Learning are moving beyond basic automation to sophisticated predictive modelling. As tax rules become more complex and data volumes explode, AI can help predict the financial impact of policy changes, identify audit risks, and even optimise tax positions in ways manual analysis simply can't. This is about leveraging advanced analytics for competitive advantage and superior risk management.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) for Legislative Analysis · Predictive Analytics for Audit Risk · Scenario Modelling with Machine Learning · Ethical AI & Explainability in Tax

  • This quarter: Research leading AI/ML tax solutions providers and arrange demonstrations to understand current capabilities.
  • Next 6 months: Identify a specific, high-value use case for AI (e.g., audit risk prediction for indirect tax) and launch a proof-of-concept project.
  • Next 12 months: Build a small internal team or partner with external experts to develop custom AI models for tax policy modelling.
  • Ongoing: Educate yourself and your senior team on the ethical implications and limitations of AI in tax decision-making.

Quick win: Start by using off-the-shelf AI tools (like advanced LLMs) to summarise complex tax research or draft initial responses to routine tax authority queries. This builds familiarity and demonstrates immediate value.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regular attendance at global tax conferences (e.g., IFA, Tax Executives Institute) to stay abreast of legislative changes and network with peers.
  • Active participation in industry-specific tax committees or working groups to influence policy and share best practices.
  • Undertaking executive leadership programmes focused on global strategy, change management, and organisational development.
  • Engaging in continuous learning on emerging technologies like AI/ML and their application in tax through online courses or specialised workshops.
  • Mentoring junior tax professionals, as teaching often solidifies your own understanding and hones leadership skills.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: ESG Tax Reporting & Green Tax Incentives

ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) is no longer just a 'nice-to-have' for investors; it's becoming a core part of corporate reporting and valuation. Tax departments are increasingly expected to report on their 'total tax contribution' and advise on green tax incentives, which are growing globally. Regulators and investors want to know our tax footprint and how we're contributing to sustainability.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how VP, Global Tax is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

As VP, Global Tax, your time is incredibly valuable. Imagine if you could cut through the noise, accelerate strategic analysis, and empower your global team with advanced tools. AI isn't just for junior analysts; it's a game-changer for executive decision-making and risk management.

Here's how AI can transform your role, helping you make faster, more informed decisions, manage risk proactively, and free up your most senior talent for truly strategic work. We're talking about moving from reactive problem-solving to proactive, data-driven leadership.

Automated Global Policy Impact Analysis

AI can ingest new tax legislation from multiple jurisdictions (e.g., OECD Pillar Two guidance, local e-invoicing mandates), analyse its content, and instantly model the potential financial impact across our entire global entity structure. This means you get real-time insights into multi-million pound exposures or opportunities, rather than waiting weeks for manual analysis.

Predictive Tax Risk & Controversy Management

Imagine an AI model that scans all global transactions, intercompany agreements, and audit history to predict which entities or transaction types are most likely to trigger a tax audit or assessment. This allows you to proactively deploy resources, strengthen documentation, and mitigate risk *before* a tax authority even knocks on the door. It's about turning reactive audit defence into proactive risk prevention.

AI-Powered M&A Tax Due Diligence

When we're looking at a potential acquisition, AI can rapidly analyse the target's financial data, legal entity structures, and historical tax filings to flag high-risk tax exposures or hidden liabilities in minutes, not weeks. This accelerates your due diligence process, improves deal valuation, and ensures no nasty tax surprises post-acquisition.

Intelligent Regulatory & Investor Briefing Prep

AI can synthesise vast amounts of internal financial data, external market reports, and global tax news to draft initial executive summaries, board presentations, and investor relations talking points on complex tax matters. This dramatically reduces the time spent preparing for critical meetings, allowing you to focus on refining the message and strategic implications.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a VP, Global Tax, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 1 national skill standard. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a VP, Global Tax: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.
