Operational Treasury

Tax & Structuring

• Lead development of a tax-efficient corporate structure supporting the shift to local manufacturing
• Ensure full compliance with UAE Corporate Tax, VAT, and regulatory frameworks
• Partner with advisors and leadership on long-term tax strategy
• Establish tax governance and audit-ready frameworks

What We’re Looking For
• 6–10 years’ experience across treasury and tax
• Strong track record managing project financing / structured debt facilities
• Experience within FMCG, manufacturing, or asset-heavy environments is highly preferred
• Deep understanding of UAE Corporate Tax, VAT, and structuring
