Job Description

Working in the Telenet Treasury, Tax and Investor Relations Tribe

As Tax Manager, you play a pivotal role in strengthening Telenet’s financial integrity and shaping the future of our tax operations. You combine deep technical expertise with a forward‑looking and flexible mindset, ensuring compliance while driving innovation, automation, and continuous improvement across our tax landscape.

While Transfer Pricing and Corporate Tax form the foundation of this role, we strongly encourage curiosity beyond these areas. You will have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge across a wider range of tax domains, including M&A tax and Pillar Two, supported by exposure to diverse projects and close collaboration with experienced stakeholders across the group.

You maintain oversight of complex tax domains, guide strategic decisions with data‑driven insights, and help modernize the way we operate. You collaborate closely with colleagues across Finance, Legal, Treasury, and the broader business to ensure our tax processes evolve in line with Telenet’s ambitions.

You report directly to the Tax Director and contribute to a culture of ownership, transparency, and operational excellence.

• Acting as a trusted advisor in complex, multi‑stakeholder environments, balancing technical accuracy, risk management and business pragmatism.
• Strengthen and maintain robust tax governance, internal policies, and tax controls.
• Manage transfer pricing tax audits and inspections, ensuring efficient resolution and strong relationships with tax authorities.
• Safeguard compliance while proactively identifying improvement opportunities.
