Head of Tax for Singapore, SE Asia and India recruitment
This is a newly created role and one which has recieved huge attaention from applicants as it offers such a superb opportunity. This is not an existing, established position – it is rather more the chance to start something new, build a team, design and implement processes the way you want to do it and make things happen the way you envision things evolving. This role covers responsibility primarily for Singapore, China and India but also Korea, HK and Indonesia. It is a chance to get involved in all areas of tax across a huge geographic remit - from transfer pricing to corporate tax, local tax to indirect tax and so on.
The selling points of this role are many – grow your own team, leave a lasting impact, strategise and create a tax function through your own planning and execution. It is initially a stand-alone role but expected to grow to a team of 5-6 people in the reasonably short term. They are looking for hands on leaders, not someone who is used to keeping things ticking over but someone who can drive, strategise and really push this space forward within the bank.
