Discover a role where deep tax expertise meets real business impact. Because shaping excellence in tax isn't about hierarchy. It's about ownership, influence and getting things done.
We are Group Finance & Tax, a diverse, highly skilled team of more than 70 colleagues based in Metzingen. Our ambition is clear: to become a leading tech-driven Finance & Tax organization, supporting our business with reliable numbers, strong governance and forward-looking insights. In line with our mission „We love to support, we need to protect“, we continuously evolve our Accounting, Tax and Treasury processes and actively contribute to the successful execution of the Group's strategy.
To strengthen our Group Tax function, we are looking for a Senior Tax Manager with a strong focus on Tax Reporting & Accounting.

Cross-Functional Coordination & Process Leadership
You connect tax reporting, accounting, and compliance through robust processes, reliable data flows, and effective controls, strengthening the foundations of the Group's tax result. By driving digitalization and process improvements, you enhance quality, efficiency, and scalability across the tax function. Act as an interface to other tax competence areas such as Transfer Pricing, VAT and Wage Tax, ensuring alignment and consistency
Functional Leadership & Capability Building
You lead through expertise and influence, acting as a trusted sparring partner to the Global Head of Tax on governance topics and strategic initiatives. Through functional leadership and knowledge sharing, you help continuously elevate tax capabilities across the global Finance & Tax community.
