An opportunity to make your own mark

In your role, you will quickly grow your network in Demant, getting to know a lot of inspiring colleagues throughout our organization. Your closest colleagues are anchored with you in Group Tax as well as local and global finance, but you will also quickly get to experience our trusting culture in Demant through extensive engagement with the broader organization, in particular our M&A teams, funding & treasury and other good colleagues. Further, you will build your network through engagement with external advisors.

The main tasks in your job are to handle the international tax projects, mergers and acquisitions within Demant group alongside Stefan. The tasks are varied but generally include:

• Managing tax projects e.g. Intellectual Property transfers (IP) and Mergers/Demergers as well as other restructures.
• Performing tax due diligence on new acquisitions including tax structuring, review of Share Purchase Agreements (SPA), structuring considerations and post-closing integration tax related tasks.
• Managing tax audits with tax authorities
• Partnering with the business to support their activities from an international tax perspective.

The job is located at headquarters in Smørum, from where you have the possibility to work from home up to two days per week.

Parking is freely available and otherwise we are close to the S-train station.

The Group Tax team

Your team consists of 11 enthusiastic, highly skilled and experienced colleagues within transfer pricing, corporate income tax and VAT.

Our team culture is energetic, engaging, and built on mutual respect. We collaborate easily and focus on helping each other. We like to eat lunch together in our nice canteen and talk about other things than just work.

Your manager is Stefan Funch-Jarlbæk, Head of Tax Projects & M&A. He is a big fan of situational management and will do his best to give you exactly the management style you need to thrive and develop best, both personally and professionally. Our culture is defined by acknowledgment and trust.

Your background

You hold an MSc. in Business Administration and Commercial Law or in another relevant law/finance degree combined with 7+ years of relevant experience within Danish tax and international tax.

We imagine you come from an in-house tax function or from an advisory or accounting firm.

You are well versed in the laws of tax including the interaction between them and double taxation agreements. You understand and connect with the business to deliver best in class tax advice.

You have tax and analytical skills combined with good interpersonal skills. Professionally, you pay attention to the details, but you also take great pride in delivering your tasks and crossing the finish line.

As a person, you can look at a problem from both a strategic and pragmatic point of view. You pursue the win, but in a humble way, both in your approach to tasks and in your communication with others.

You must be fluent in English, both written and spoken, as this is our company language.
