Are you an experienced VAT or indirect tax professional looking for a role where you can make a real commercial impact? At Chubb, we are looking for an Indirect Tax Manager to join our Glasgow office and play a key role in providing high-quality indirect tax advice across our business.

This is an exciting opportunity for a confident tax specialist who enjoys advisory work and wants to partner closely with senior stakeholders, finance teams and business leaders across EMEA.

The role also includes support for compliance services across Chubb and affiliated companies in EMEA and the wider region
