- Lead the Fund’s tax compliance lifecycle and timely reporting, including Income tax returns, tax accounting, GST, Capital gains tax, foreign tax credits, Reportable Tax Position and Country by Country reporting and other relevant matters.
- Lead and develop a high-performing tax capability, fostering collaboration, accountability and continuous improvement.
- Drive enhancements to tax processes, third party controls, data and technology to strengthen efficiency and effectiveness.
