About us
To manage a group of Dyson’s size efficiently and effectively, you really need the attention to detail to investigate and understand what is happening on the ground – in a tax as complicated as VAT, when the temperature of a pasty changes the rate, it is the specifics that really matter. While predominantly responsible for preparing and meeting the European VAT compliance obligations of the group in EMEA, we in the VAT Team are privileged to see the actual day-to-day activities of the group in a way few other finance professionals do. We need to identify issues and affect change in other teams by supporting them to improve their controls and processes so we can correctly and accurately report to multiple governmental stakeholders.
VAT makes the world go round. This role is perfect for any bright, inquisitive individual at any level who has an interest in getting to grips with a global supply chain and understanding the route to market for consumer products on a continental scale. We have a strong track record of developing staff into international VAT specialists and full training will be provided. We're committed to our campus culture and want to have people collaborating, developing, and learning from each other, five days a week. By having everyone on campus together, we have been able to nurture a fantastic social and dynamic environment.
