Amazon is seeking a Regional VAT Manager to join its VAT team supporting EMEA consumer and retail operations. The position is based in London, although relocation to Luxembourg may be possible. The successful candidate will focus primarily on France while also contributing to wider Pan-European retail projects. The work combines VAT planning, compliance support, and controversy management, with regular travel to Paris that may sometimes be arranged at short notice.<\/p>\n

This is a role for someone who can operate at both a strategic and a highly technical level. You will need to work closely with local business partners and colleagues in the tax function, providing expert VAT advice to help shape legislative responses, compliance activity, and ongoing tax controversy work. The role requires someone who can think broadly about business impact while also handling detailed technical issues in day-to-day discussions with stakeholders.<\/p>\n

What you will do<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Give detailed VAT advice on French and cross-border matters, including reviewing new business ideas, proposed transactions, and commercial initiatives.<\/li>\n
  • Support complex audit and dispute work in a practical, hands-on way, making well-reasoned decisions under pressure and within tight deadlines.<\/li>\n
  • Work with the VAT compliance team on technical and strategic compliance questions, while not carrying out routine compliance processing yourself.<\/li>\n
  • Help plan, coordinate, and communicate tax projects in real time, working alongside business contacts to keep work moving forward.<\/li>\n
  • Produce documentation that clearly records the analysis completed, the decisions made, and the conclusions reached for reporting and compliance purposes.<\/li>\n
  • Manage audit and controversy matters, including proactive contact with tax authorities and preparation of responses to their questions.<\/li>\n
  • Partner with Finance, Legal, and Accounting teams to support new launches and the continued running of the Pan-European retail business.<\/li>\n
  • Maintain strong stakeholder relationships and explain complex VAT matters clearly in writing and verbally so that non-tax colleagues can act on the information.<\/li>\n
  • Contribute to both strategic planning and detailed technical execution across tax, finance, accounting, and business discussions.<\/li>\n
  • Travel to Paris regularly, including on short notice when needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Team and reporting structure<\/h3>\n

    The role reports to the Senior Manager responsible for France, Italy, and Spain, who in turn reports to the Director overseeing VAT for Retail and Operations across EMEA. The person in this position will work frequently with senior tax leaders, as well as senior stakeholders from the business, legal, finance, and accounting functions.<\/p>\n

    What Amazon is looking for<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Experience in a large public accounting firm or in the tax department of a multinational organisation.<\/li>\n
    • Strong VAT advisory experience gained in a global consulting firm, law firm, or major commercial business.<\/li>\n
    • Ability to read and assess statutes, regulations, and case law, then extract relevant information and turn it into practical recommendations.<\/li>\n
    • A highly organised, detail-oriented professional who takes ownership of work and can deliver under pressure.<\/li>\n
    • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.<\/li>\n
    • Strong interpersonal skills, with persuasive written and spoken communication abilities.<\/li>\n
    • Preferred: a relevant law degree or a recognised professional tax qualification.<\/li>\n
    • Preferred: familiarity with tax technology tools, including generative AI tools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
