If you’re going to build a serious career in indirect tax, do it somewhere that gives you three things: complex work, brand leverage, and a city that actually makes sense to live in. This role sits within a globally recognised advisory firm with a dominant position in the Spanish market. The Madrid office is a core hub, not a satellite. Major clients, international exposure, real decision-making power. Importantly, this is not a compliance-heavy VAT role. The focus is advisory, structuring, inspections and strategic positioning.

* Cross-border projects with multinational groups
* VAT recovery strategy, exemptions and sector-specific advisory
* Customs, special and environmental taxes
* Risk identification and opportunity analysis This is forward-looking work. Clients come to this team when the matter is complex, exposed, or commercially sensitive, not when they need a return filed. What's on offer:
* Advisory-led exposure. Less routine compliance,



more strategic VAT work and inspection defence
* High-profile client base. Multinationals and complex groups operating across borders
* Clear progression path. Defined route beyond Manager within a structured international firm
* Brand leverage. Experience that strengthens your long-term market positioning
* International collaboration. Cross-border projects without needing to relocate

* Competitive compensation aligned with Madrid Big 4 market standards + performance bonus

- 7 years of experience in Tax (strong VAT focus)
