Tax Manager

We're looking for a sharp, commercially minded tax professional to take the reins of a newly established Tax Manager role within one of New Zealand's largest civil construction groups. This is a sizable multi-entity group so there’s no shortage of complexity or opportunity.
  
Based in South Auckland, you'll be the group's "go-to" tax person. This is a build role; you'll be shaping the function, partnering with senior leaders, and setting the strategic direction across a broad group of subsidiaries. If you're the type who likes to roll up their sleeves and actually make things happen, this one's for you.
  
What the role looks like day-to-day
  

• Owning tax compliance, planning, governance, and risk across the group
• Managing tax accounting under NZ IFRS (current and deferred tax)
• Developing and maintaining the group's transfer pricing framework
• Being the go-to tax advisor for operational, finance, and executive teams
• Managing relationships with Inland Revenue, auditors, and external advisors
• Spotting opportunities to improve processes and make the function run smarter
• Getting involved in projects, acquisitions, restructures, and tenders as they come up

  
What you'll bring
  

• A relevant qualification (BCom, CA, or LLB)
• 5+ years in tax, Big 4 background a real advantage
• Experience with complex corporate structures
• The ability to make tax make sense to non-tax people
• Strong commercial instincts and solid stakeholder skills
• A self-starter attitude
• Bonus points if you've got experience in the construction sector, but it's not a dealbreaker.

  
You'll have genuine scope to build something here; not just keep the lights on. The group is sizeable, growing, and ready to invest in getting this function right. It's a senior seat at the table with real impact.
