Deputy Tax Manager

The opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for a tax professional who enjoys combining technical expertise with process improvement, digital transformation, and business partnering. As Deputy Tax Manager, you will play a key role in supporting and continuously enhancing the tax function across a broad range of direct and indirect tax matters.

Working closely with business leaders, finance teams, shared services, and external stakeholders, you will contribute to both operational and strategic tax activities for legal entities in Poland. This role offers exposure to multiple tax disciplines, making it an ideal opportunity for professionals who enjoy a broad scope of responsibility rather than specializing in a single area.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience gained in consulting, advisory, tax technology, or complex multinational environments. You will have the opportunity to influence tax processes, drive efficiencies through automation and digitalization initiatives, and contribute to building a modern, future-ready tax function.

If you enjoy solving complex challenges, taking ownership, and translating tax requirements into practical business solutions, this role offers the visibility, autonomy, and growth opportunities to make a meaningful impact.
