About the job
We are looking for an experienced Global Tax Lead to join our Shared Service Center in Barcelona. In this role you will be at the heart of Fagron’s tax reporting process, supporting the EMEA region and contributing to the group tax provision and global tax reporting. You will work closely with the Global Tax Leader, the group finance team, and local finance controllers across multiple jurisdictions.
This is a hands-on role that combines IFRS tax provisioning with local statutory tax accounting and CIT compliance coordination. You will operate across the full tax reporting lifecycle — from quarterly provisions through to annual return-to-provision reconciliations and support of local CIT filing processes.
Key Responsibilities
IFRS Tax Provision & Group Reporting
- Prepare and review quarterly and annual IFRS tax provisions (IAS 12) for EMEA entities, including current tax, deferred tax, and rate reconciliations.
- Contribute to the consolidated group tax provision, working with the Global Tax Leader, the global and local finance teams.
- Prepare tax-related disclosure notes for the consolidated IFRS financial statements.
- Maintain and roll forward deferred tax balances, including purchase price allocation (PPA) adjustments at group level.
- Support the return-to-provision (RTP) process, reconciling provisions to filed tax returns and booking true-up adjustments.
Local Statutory Tax Accounting & CIT Compliance
- Coordinate the CIT return process for EMEA entities, working with local advisors and finance teams to ensure timely and accurate filings.
- Prepare or review tax provisions in the local statutory accounts of EMEA entities, bridging IFRS and local GAAP where applicable.
- Monitor CIT payment obligations and advance payment schedules across the EMEA portfolio.
- Maintain a tax compliance calendar for EMEA jurisdictions and track filing deadlines and status.
Tax Reporting Infrastructure & Process Improvement
- Support the implementation and ongoing operation of the OneStream tax reporting module, including data validation, workflow management, and report generation.
- Help build and maintain standardized tax reporting packs and data collection templates across EMEA.
- Identify opportunities to automate and streamline tax reporting processes.
- Contribute to the development of the group’s tax reporting framework, including entity tiering and materiality thresholds.
Ad Hoc Projects (as capacity allows)
- Support Pillar Two / GloBE data collection and reporting processes.
- Assist with Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR) data preparation.
- Contribute to M&A-related tax workstreams, including post-acquisition integration of acquired entities into the tax reporting framework.
- Participate in other tax function initiatives such as transfer pricing documentation support, tax risk assessments, or tax governance projects.
Set yourself apart
You possess the following qualifications, background and abilities:
Required
- University degree in tax, accounting, finance, or a related field.
- Minimum 5-7 years of experience in tax reporting, tax accounting, or international tax compliance, either in-house or at a Big 4 / mid-tier advisory firm.
- Strong working knowledge of IAS 12 and IFRS tax provisioning in a multi-entity, multi-jurisdictional environment.
- Experience with CIT compliance processes across multiple European jurisdictions
- Familiarity with deferred tax accounting, including temporary differences, tax losses, and valuation allowances.
- Proficiency in English (written and spoken) - this is the working language for all cross-border and group-level communication.
- Experience with OneStream, SAP BPC, or comparable consolidation/tax reporting platforms is preferred.
- Advanced Excel skills; comfort working with large datasets and complex workbooks
- Structured, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple deadlines across jurisdictions.
Preferred
- Exposure to Pillar Two / GloBE rules, CbCR, or public CbCR requirements.
- Experience working in a listed company environment with external audit interaction on tax positions.
- Knowledge of Spanish tax rules is a plus, but not required — the role is internationally oriented.
- Additional European languages (Dutch, French, German, Portuguese) are a bonus.
