TikTok is seeking an enthusiastic EMEA Tax Technology Manager to join the Tax team in London to support its rapid business growth in EMEA and enhance the technology and processes underpinning our EMEA tax compliance, with a particular focus on platform operator reporting, e-invoicing, and VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) readiness. This role sits in the Tax Team but will be working closely with internal stakeholders (product & technology, finance, business ) and external advisors to identify process improvements, implement automation, and ensure compliance processes keep pace with evolving EMEA tax authority requirements. The ideal candidate combines good EMEA indirect tax knowledge with hands-on experience using tax technology and automation tools.

Responsibilities:

- Support processes associated with platform operator reporting requirements across the UK and EU, including the identification of any updates to tax authority requirements.

- Identify solutions and potential enhancements to existing processes impacting downstream compliance processes.

- Work with internal and external stakeholders in collecting tax reporting data, utilising tax technology tools and solutions and implementing process improvements.

- Monitor current and emerging e-invoicing developments, including impending VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) rules.

- Provide support through the use of automation tools that can be leveraged to support tax compliance processes (e.g. Alteryx).

- Assist tax technology implementations and automations with our ERP and IT systems, to drive efficiency and improve end-to-end tax processes and controls.

- End-to-end process understanding and assess tax touchpoints across entire business processes, ensuring comprehensive solution design.

- Running tax technology and finance transformation projects from the first conversation through to go-live.

- Adhere to risk management and engagement acceptance protocols, upholding professional standards.

- Thrive in a diverse and inclusive team environment, actively contributing and valuing diverse perspectives.

- Staying commercially minded - understanding how tax decisions land elsewhere in the business, not just within the tax function.
