Req ID:521311

At Alstom, we understand transport networks and what moves people. From high-speed trains, metros, monorails, and trams, to turnkey systems, services, infrastructure, signalling and digital mobility, we offer our diverse customers the broadest portfolio in the industry. Every day, more than 80 000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.

We are looking for a Global Tax Reporting & Accounting Manager to join a meaningful role at the crossroads of Tax, Finance and Group Reporting in a truly international environment.

Reporting to the VP Tax & Customs, you will play a central role in securing reliable tax figures in the Group’s consolidated accounts, supporting closings, forecasts and planning, and helping shape major tax accounting priorities, including the implementation of Pillar Two.

Just as importantly, you will join a highly dynamic team where collaboration comes naturally, expertise is shared openly and team spirit truly matters.

About the role This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys combining technical depth, business exposure and transformation topics, while working closely with others.

You will contribute to high-impact tax accounting and reporting matters, partner with a broad range of stakeholders across the Group, and help move forward one of the most significant regulatory projects ahead: Pillar Two. In short, if you are looking for a role with substance, visibility and a team you can genuinely rely on, you may feel at home here. And while tax is of course a serious business, we also believe the way we work together should make the journey enjoyable.

Key responsibilities

Tax accounting, reporting and planning

• Lead the preparation of tax figures for closings, forecasts and planning, with a focus on current tax, deferred tax and effective tax rate monitoring, while providing clear analysis to support sound decision-making.
• Ensure high-quality tax accounting under IAS 12 and related requirements, and contribute to robust and transparent tax disclosures in the Group financial statements.
• Support tax planning and tax cash monitoring by analysing key drivers, projections and major variations across the Group.
• Maintain and improve tax reporting tools, packages and supporting documentation used for actuals, forecast and planning processes.

Tax risk, compliance and transparency

• Help secure compliance with direct tax requirements and contribute to the monitoring of uncertain tax positions and tax risks in coordination with the Group Tax team.
• Lead the preparation of transparency and regulatory reporting, including CbCR, and play an active role in preparing, coordinating and embedding Pillar Two requirements into the Group’s tax accounting and reporting framework.

Projects, transformation and process improvement

• Contribute to the improvement of tax accounting and reporting processes, systems and controls in support of the Group’s finance transformation roadmap and increasing regulatory expectations.
• Take part in major projects impacting tax accounting, with a particular focus on the implementation of Pillar Two, including readiness assessment, data and process design, stakeholder coordination and ongoing reporting implications.

Stakeholder partnership

• Work closely with Consolidation, Accounting, FP&A, local finance teams and external auditors to ensure consistent tax reporting and timely delivery.
• Bring guidance, structure and a collaborative approach to help drive consistency of tax accounting practices across the Group.

Qualifications

You could be a great fit if you bring some of the following:

• A Master’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Tax or a related field.
• Strong knowledge of tax accounting and reporting in an international IFRS environment, especially IAS 12 and IFRIC 23. Exposure to Pillar Two implementation would be a strong advantage.
• Around 8 to 10 years of experience in tax accounting, tax reporting or corporate tax, ideally gained in an international group and/or advisory environment.
• Experience working with consolidation or reporting tools and strong Excel skills.
• A structured and analytical approach, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a complex environment.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to move complex topics forward with clarity, pragmatism and genuine team spirit.
• Fluent in English and French

Why join us

• A visible and meaningful role at the intersection of Tax, Finance and Consolidation, with broad exposure across the Group.
