• Working closely with external advisors and local compliance providers to ensure all filing deadlines and regulatory obligations are met accurately and on time.
• Reconciling local statutory accounts to internal management accounts, investigating and resolving any differences where required.

• Monitoring VAT, customs, and supply chain developments that may impact international operations and working with relevant stakeholders to address compliance risks.
• Managing global packaging tax reporting and compliance, partnering with external providers and internal teams to ensure accurate submissions.
• Supporting sustainability reporting requirements and contributing to the delivery of environmental compliance reporting across the business.
• Building strong relationships across Finance, Supply Chain, and external partners while identifying opportunities to improve processes, controls, and reporting within the international finance function.
