International Tax Provide occasional support to the compliance team as needed, covering gaps or peak periods across the tax compliance calendar. Stay broadly aware of the transfer-pricing policy, permanent-establishment position, withholding-tax/repatriation mechanics and VAT/GST processes, escalating anything relevant from deal or modelling work to the team who owns it. Flag material international tax developments relevant to live deals or models. Governance & Risk Help operate Volta's tax governance framework and controls on a day-to-day basis and keep the tax risk register current. Build and maintain supporting documentation for tax positions, transactions and intercompany arrangements.

Business Partnering Act as the day-to-day tax contact for Finance, Legal, Capital Markets, Corporate Development and Strategy on live workstreams. Give practical, timely tax input on new projects and initiatives, translated into cash flow, returns and capital-efficiency impact. Prepare materials and analysis for the VP of Tax ahead of CFO, leadership, investor and lender conversations. Take ownership of agreed workstreams end-to-end, escalating judgement calls and anything strategically significant to the VP of Tax. Process & Team Support Help the VP of Tax roll out new processes, controls and systems as the function scales. Manage or mentor junior tax analyst/associates as the team grows. Identify opportunities for automation and standardisation in day-to-day tax processes and modelling.
