Are you a tax professional with a passion for precision, compliance, and driving operational excellence? Join SGS Australia as a Tax Analyst and contribute to the success of our business by delivering high-quality tax compliance, reporting and governance outcomes across the Australia & Pacific region. This is a newly created role in a growing tax team, built to support our expanding business and increasing cross-border activity.

Based in the Perth Airport Head Office, you will work closely with the Head of Tax and the Tax Principal. This role is strongly execution focused and ideal for an experienced, motivated candidate who enjoys owning outcomes, working to deadlines, and delivering accurate, on time lodgments and reporting. You will gain valuable exposure across Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Pacific operations, with international tax and cross-border exposure including transfer pricing, withholding tax and transparency support.

Responsibilities include, however, not limited to:

• Drive delivery of the Australia & Pacific tax compliance calendar across multiple jurisdictions, ensuring accurate and on time outcomes across direct tax, indirect tax and employment taxes.
• Coordinate and manage responses for external advisors, auditors and tax authorities (ATO, IRD, IRC), supporting clear, timely and well-governed engagement outcomes.
• Support tax accounting and reporting deliverables across key reporting periods (May, June, September, November and December), including supporting disclosures and audit reporting packs.
• Support international tax obligations and cross-border matters, including transfer pricing and Local File support, withholding tax administration and reconciliation, and certificate support.
• Act as the Tax Analyst focal point for M&A tax integration, supporting acquisitions through integration planning, registrations, transition activities, and coordination of tax inputs across stakeholders.
• Strengthen tax governance and assurance readiness by supporting internal controls, governance documentation, and process improvements that lift quality, consistency and scalability.
• Contribute to continuous improvement, including standardisation, automation opportunities, and support for AI-enabled tools (including Copilot) to improve efficiency and control.

To excel in this role, you will have:

• A minimum of 3 years of tax-related experience (in-house and/or professional services).
• Tertiary qualification in Accounting or Finance.
• Chartered Accountant (CA) or Certified Practicing Accountant (CPA).
• Strong analytical and interpretation skills in tax compliance and reporting, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to deliver high-quality outcomes to deadlines.
