Tax Manager
Role description
From the employerNobia Group is one of Europe’s largest kitchen specialists, listed on Nasdaq
Stockholm, operating across the Nordics.
Tax, VAT, duties, and transfer pricing are today handled across a combination of
the Group accounting team and external legal counsel – a model that has served
us well, but one we are now ready to move beyond.
As our first dedicated Tax Manager, you will own the full tax agenda for Nobia
Group – from compliance and reporting through to transfer pricing governance and
strategic tax planning. You will build the tax function from the ground up,
working in close partnership with the Group CFO, the Head of Group Finance, and
our Legal function.
This is a rare opportunity to define a discipline that will matter more – not
less – as the Group continues to integrate and grow.
SCOPE OF THE ROLE
The Tax Manager will have end-to-end responsibility for all tax-related matters
across Nobia Group. The role spans compliance, planning, and governance, and
covers the following domains
- Corporate income tax – filings, assessments, and tax position management
across all Group entities
- VAT & indirect taxes – registration, returns, and compliance across multiple
jurisdictions
- Transfer pricing – policy, documentation, and intercompany pricing governance
(primary area of focus)
- Duties & customs – management of customs obligations relevant to the Group’s
sourcing and distribution structure
- Deferred tax & tax accounting – ensuring accurate tax positions in the
Group’s consolidated accounts
- Pillar Two & global minimum tax – monitoring obligations and assessing Group
impact as the regulatory framework develops
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
COMPLIANCE & REPORTING
- Own all corporate tax and VAT filings across Nobia Group entities, ensuring
timely and accurate compliance in all relevant jurisdictions
- Manage tax provisions and deferred tax positions in the Group’s consolidated
financial statements
- Coordinate with external advisors and local finance teams on country-level
tax requirements
- Monitor legislative changes and assess their impact on the Group’s tax
position, including Pillar Two obligations
TRANSFER PRICING
- Develop, maintain, and defend Nobia Group’s transfer pricing policy across
all intercompany transactions
- Prepare and maintain Group and local transfer pricing documentation (master
file, local file) in compliance with OECD guidelines and local requirements
- Advise on intercompany pricing for new transactions, restructurings, and
commercial arrangements involving multiple entities
- Manage tax authority inquiries and audits related to transfer pricing,
working closely with external advisors where needed
TAX PLANNING & ADVISORY
- Provide proactive tax advice to Group Finance and the Group CFO on
structuring decisions, M&A activity, and cross-border transactions
- Identify opportunities for tax optimisation within the constraints of
applicable law, Group policy, and Nobia’s commitment to responsible tax
practices
- Support and gradually internalise work currently handled by external legal
and advisory firms, building Group capability over time
- Act as the primary interface with external tax advisors, auditors, and tax
authorities
GOVERNANCE & INSIGHT
- Establish and maintain a tax risk framework, ensuring material exposures are
identified, quantified, and escalated appropriately
- Report regularly to the Group CFO and Head of Group Finance on tax positions,
risks, open disputes, and regulatory developments
- Contribute tax input to the annual budget process, including effective tax
rate planning and cash tax forecasting
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
EXPERIENCE
- Solid background in corporate tax from a listed company, Big Four advisory
firm, or a combination
- Proven experience in an international setup – working across multiple
jurisdictions with different tax regimes is a requirement, not a preference
- Strong transfer pricing expertise – including documentation, benchmarking,
and handling of authority enquiries; this is the area where we need the most
depth
- Familiarity with VAT compliance across Nordic and/or European jurisdictions;
experience with customs and duties is an advantage
- Experience working alongside legal, finance, and external counsel in a
group-company context; comfortable managing external advisors as well as
being hands-on yourself
COMPETENCIES
- Technical depth – you have genuine command of your domain and can engage
credibly with tax authorities, auditors, and senior advisors without relying
on others to translate
- Commercial judgment – you can translate complex tax positions into clear
business implications and advise leadership with confidence and precision
- Builder mentality – you are energised by building structure where little
exists, and can operate independently while knowing when to escalate or bring
in external support
- Stakeholder fluency – you communicate with clarity at all levels, including
CFO and board, and collaborate effectively across Finance, Legal, and the
business
- Integrity & judgment – you take tax seriously as a governance matter, not
just a compliance exercise, and are comfortable navigating the line between
optimisation and risk
LANGUAGE & EDUCATION
- Fluent in English (written and spoken) – used in day-to-day work across Group
and brand entities
- Relevant academic background in Law, Economics, Business, or Accounting;
professional tax qualifications (e.g.LL.M. in Tax, or equivalent) are an
advantage
WHAT WE OFFER
- A newly created role with full ownership of the tax agenda for a listed,
multi-country Group – rare at this career stage
- Close collaboration with the Group CFO and Head of Group Finance – you will
be a trusted voice in Group Finance leadership, not a back-office function
- The mandate and resources to build the function properly – including the
ability to engage external advisors where the complexity warrants it
- A seat in a professionally ambitious Group Finance organisation undergoing
active transformation, with real influence on how the function develops
- Competitive compensation package commensurate with seniority and scope
- Headquarters in Tilst, Aarhus, with flexibility for travel to Group locations
and key advisors as needed
