About the Role

While this role is ideally full-time, we are open to discussing a 0.8 FTE arrangement for the right candidate.

This is a key role within Codan’s global tax function, combining hands-on delivery with ownership of core processes and the opportunity to shape how the function operates as the Group continues to grow.

Reporting to the Global Head of Tax, you will take initial ownership of Australian tax compliance and play a central role in coordinating global tax processes, improving data quality and supporting the evolution of scalable processes and governance frameworks across the Group.

This position offers strong development opportunities, allowing you to build your capability and progress your career within a dynamic, global environment. This role is designed as a development pathway into a future Tax Reporting & Operations Manager position, with increasing responsibility for global tax processes, reporting and governance as the Group moves towards Significant Global Entity (SGE) and Pillar Two requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare Australian corporate income tax and FBT returns, including supporting workpapers
• Own and maintain the global tax compliance calendar, ensuring visibility and timely delivery across jurisdictions
• Coordinate data collection with business unit finance teams to support accurate and timely tax filings
• Prepare information packs for external advisors across multiple jurisdictions
• Perform first-pass review of advisor-prepared returns, identifying key risks, movements and inconsistencies
• Support preparation of the Group’s tax provision, including deferred tax balances and ETR analysis
• Drive improvements in tax data quality, processes and governance frameworks
• Support global reporting requirements, including CbCR and Pillar Two readiness
• Maintain documentation supporting tax processes, controls and risk management

About You

This role would suit a tax professional with experience gained in a Big 4, mid-tier or medium-to-large in-house environment. A strong foundation in Australian income tax compliance is essential, with exposure to FBT and tax effect accounting viewed favourably.

You bring strong analytical capability, attention to detail and well-developed Excel skills, along with experience working with ERP systems and financial data to support tax reporting and compliance processes. You are comfortable managing multiple priorities and engaging effectively with a range of stakeholders.

A proactive approach, strong sense of ownership and a genuine interest in improving processes and building scalable tax capability will be key to success. This role will suit someone looking to move beyond purely executional compliance work and develop broader experience across global tax, reporting and governance in a global, ASX-listed environment.

Benefits and Culture

Our culture is supportive and collaborative. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team where we share our ideas and innovation is strongly encouraged.  We are looking for someone with genuine passion and can-do attitude for what they do.

Our Head office is located in Mawson Lakes offering a spacious, modern facility, free secure onsite parking, easy access via public transport, and an onsite subsidised café. We also have recreational facilities including a gym, basketball and tennis court, as well as various game tables. Additionally, our staff are provided flexibility to meet the demands of family life, a child-friendly parenting room, and a variety of staff events to connect with colleagues across the Codan Group.
