Size and scope: A team of ~20 tax professionals supporting the Koch group’s EMEA activities across corporate income tax (CIT) advisory, compliance and reporting, transformation and optimisation, VAT, and tax policy.

- Manage competing priorities across compliance, advisory, and audit workstreams; communicate progress, risks, and outcomes clearly to the wider tax team and leadership.
- Identify and drive process improvements, including standardisation, automation, documentation, and knowledge management to reduce low-value effort and improve control and consistency.
