Global Tax Advisor

PIPECARE Group is looking for an experienced Global Tax Advisor, based in India and reporting to the Group CFO, to own the Group's tax compliance, policy and strategy across all operating jurisdictions.

Purpose of the role

The role ensures the Group and its subsidiaries meet their tax obligations accurately and on time, carry no unmanaged tax exposure and are structured tax-efficiently.

• Internal tax assurance. Provide assurance that the Group and its subsidiaries carry no undisclosed tax liabilities, with particular attention to permanent-establishment risk on cross-border work.

Planning, risk and change

• Planning and optimization. Advise management on international tax planning, structuring and optimization, and manage the tax budget against available reliefs and returns across jurisdictions.
• Cross-border risk. Review cross-border transactions to identify tax risk and recommend solutions.
• Transactions and restructuring. Support M&A, restructuring, entity wind-downs and expansion with tax due diligence and planning.
• Legislative watch. Monitor changes in international and local tax law, assess the impact on the Group, and adjust policy accordingly.

• Multi-jurisdiction reach. Proven experience across EMEA, India and the Americas, coordinating external advisors in multiple countries.
• Independence and judgement. Able to own the Group tax position, challenge advisors and business alike and give the CFO a clear view of risk and options.
