Senior Tax Manager

As we continue to grow our Australian footprint—most recently through the acquisitions of Emerald Grains and Namoi Cotton—we are seeking an experienced Senior Tax Manager to lead our national tax function.

This is a key senior leadership role responsible for tax strategy, compliance, governance, and integration across our expanding business. You will work closely with global and regional stakeholders and lead a small team of tax staff.

As the Senior Tax Manager, you will oversee all direct and indirect tax matters, drive strategic tax planning, and support major business transformation and integration projects within the country. You will ensure full compliance with Australian tax legislation while leading continuous improvement initiatives and supporting global tax governance efforts.

Key responsibilities will be but not limited to:

• Managing and optimising the Group’s effective and cash tax rates and identifying tax opportunities and risks.
• Providing tax structuring advice for acquisitions, integrations, and new ventures.
• Partnering with finance and treasury teams to support tax‑efficient financing structures, including withholding tax and thin capitalisation considerations.
• Leading all aspects of Australian tax compliance, including income tax, GST, indirect taxes and state taxes.
• Managing ATO engagement, including audits, disputes, negotiations and technical queries.
• Implementing strong tax governance, internal controls, and documentation; overseeing the tax risk register and reporting to the country Executive Management.
• Monitoring domestic and international tax regulatory changes and advising on business impacts.
• Driving continuous improvement across tax processes, reporting, and systems, including the adoption of technology.
• Leading the tax workstream for LDC Australia’s multi‑year transformation program and system integrations.
• Supporting ad‑hoc commercial, innovation and tax-related projects with clear analysis and insights.
• Leading transfer pricing matters across the SSEA region and globally for specific commodities traded out of Australia.
