As Head of Business Tax you will be leading a team of five Tax SMEs and will report directly to Head of Group Tax in Danske Bank.

What you will do

The Business Tax Team has stakeholders throughout the bank – meaning that you will have to engage with a large amount of stakeholders in various areas of the bank and in a wide range of different projects.

Together with the rest of the leadership team in Group Tax you will assist to increase Group Tax´s goal to become even more pro-active and interactive in the organization in order to continuously gain deeper understanding of the various business areas in Danske Bank Group – as well as to ensure that Business Tax team provides high quality tax advice to our stakeholders.

Amongst some of the key goals that can be mentioned:

  1. Be a great leader for the Business Tax team and a strong, pro-active co-leader in Group Tax.
  2. Perform Tax Risk assessments, suggest possible mitigation acts and report any identified tax compliance risks.
  3. Support Danske Bank Group on ensuring a compliant framework for monitoring relevant new tax legislation.

  5. Improve and streamline existing Product Tax Approval Governance process in the Bank.
  6. Responsible for facilitation of in-house tax training and tax knowledge sharing in the organisation within Business Tax area(s).
  7. Readiness for analysis of how implementation of technology can ensure more efficient processes (also) in Group Tax.
  8. Identify risks as well as opportunities and assist Danske Bank business units and functions on tax risk analysis & assessment.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for an amazing person that is clever, has great humour, good with people, who is honest and open-minded and not least; who is curious and ready to not only focus on tax legislation but also to understand the operational processes underneath.

The role is to a certain degree to act as a “playing manager” why a tax-legal foundation and/or tax experience from the financial sector will be a big plus.

Apart from your personal and professional qualities; you are fluent in English (both in writing and verbally) and thrive in a fast-paced and international environment and are not afraid to take ownership and to drive and solve tasks.

Interested?
