About Damen
Damen is a global, family-owned shipbuilding company with a strong focus on innovation, craftsmanship and sustainable entrepreneurship. From design and construction to financing and lifecycle support, Damen is involved in every phase of a vessel’s life. Our core values — stewardship, craftsmanship, fellowship and entrepreneurship — guide everything we do.
Within Damen Global Support BV, we provide specialist expertise to support the Damen businesses worldwide, including finance, tax, legal and compliance. To strengthen our global tax function, we are looking for a Tax Manager.
The role
As Tax Manager, you play a key role in shaping, safeguarding and further developing Damen’s global tax position. This is not a purely operational role: you work at both a strategic and hands‑on level and have a direct impact on policy, compliance and decision‑making across an international organization.
You will join a close‑knit tax team of four professionals and report directly to the Head of Tax. Due to Damen’s global footprint, this role places you at the center of complex international tax matters, while offering significant room for personal and professional growth.
Key accountabilities
In this role, you take ownership of core direct tax processes and ensure that Damen’s Tax Control Framework is robust, future‑proof and well embedded throughout the organization.
Own & implement
You are responsible for key direct tax areas, including:
Connect & collaborate
Lead projects & strategy
Advise & support
Skills & Experience
You are more than a technical tax specialist — you are a connector, a strategic thinker and a future leader.
Why Damen?
At Damen, we offer more than a job — we offer an ocean of possibilities.

Oceans, seas, lakes and rivers offer growing possibilities in the areas of trade, food, energy and recreation. To ensure global prosperity for next generations and keep the earth habitable with an ever-increasing population, it is essential to utilise and protect these possibilities as efficiently and responsibly as possible.
Damen provides unprecedented maritime solutions for this, through design, shipbuilding, ship repair and related services. We offer versatile platforms that enable our customers to be successful and that raise the standard in terms of safety, reliability, efficiency and sustainability. We want to become the most sustainable shipbuilders in the world.
In the previous century, we revolutionized shipbuilding. Thanks to standardisation, we were able to supply our customers with better ships, faster. More than 90 years and 6,500 ships later, the importance of standardisation is only increasing in the light of zero-emissions and digitalisation.
We do not build our ships alone, but together with an extensive network from the international maritime cluster. We firmly believe in the power of sharing. It means that we also use our craftsmanship to build platforms on production facilities that are not ours. In this way, through knowledge transfer, we not only contribute to better, safer and more eco-friendly ships, but also to sustainable local development and prosperity.
We are a family owned business and stand for fellowship, craftsmanship, entrepreneurship and stewardship. Our playing field is the world. Our horizon is the long term. We firmly believe in our team, but also in the strength of the individual. Each colleague is an entrepreneur, focused on ensuring truly satisfied clients and making our contribution to a better world. In every aspect of our business the next generation is our starting point.
