Tax Manager
Nobia Group is one of Europe’s largest kitchen specialists, listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, operating across the Nordics.
Tax, VAT, duties, and transfer pricing are today handled across a combination of the Group accounting team and external legal
counsel – a model that has served us well, but one we are now ready to move beyond.
As our first dedicated Tax Manager, you will own the full tax agenda for Nobia Group – from compliance and reporting through to
transfer pricing governance and strategic tax planning. You will build the tax function from the ground up, working in close
partnership with the Group CFO, the Head of Group Finance, and our Legal function.
This is a rare opportunity to define a discipline that will matter more – not less – as the Group continues to integrate and grow.
SCOPE OF THE ROLE
The Tax Manager will have end-to-end responsibility for all tax-related matters across Nobia Group. The role spans compliance,
planning, and governance, and covers the following domains:
Corporate income tax – filings, assessments, and tax position management across all Group entities
VAT & indirect taxes – registration, returns, and compliance across multiple jurisdictions
Transfer pricing – policy, documentation, and intercompany pricing governance (primary area of focus)
Duties & customs – management of customs obligations relevant to the Group’s sourcing and distribution structure
Deferred tax & tax accounting – ensuring accurate tax positions in the Group’s consolidated accounts
Pillar Two & global minimum tax – monitoring obligations and assessing Group impact as the regulatory framework develops
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
COMPLIANCE & REPORTING
- Own all corporate tax and VAT filings across Nobia Group entities, ensuring timely and accurate compliance in all relevant
jurisdictions
Manage tax provisions and deferred tax positions in the Group’s consolidated financial statements
Coordinate with external advisors and local finance teams on country-level tax requirements
Monitor legislative changes and assess their impact on the Group’s tax position, including Pillar Two obligations
TRANSFER PRICING
Develop, maintain, and defend Nobia Group’s transfer pricing policy across all intercompany transactions
- Prepare and maintain Group and local transfer pricing documentation (master file, local file) in compliance with OECD
guidelines and local requirements
Advise on intercompany pricing for new transactions, restructurings, and commercial arrangements involving multiple entities
Manage tax authority inquiries and audits related to transfer pricing, working closely with external advisors where needed
TAX PLANNING & ADVISORY
- Provide proactive tax advice to Group Finance and the Group CFO on structuring decisions, M&A activity, and cross-border
transactions
- Identify opportunities for tax optimisation within the constraints of applicable law, Group policy, and Nobia’s commitment to
responsible tax practices
- Support and gradually internalise work currently handled by external legal and advisory firms, building Group capability over
time
Act as the primary interface with external tax advisors, auditors, and tax authorities
GOVERNANCE & INSIGHT
- Establish and maintain a tax risk framework, ensuring material exposures are identified, quantified, and escalated
appropriately
Report regularly to the Group CFO and Head of Group Finance on tax positions, risks, open disputes, and regulatory developments
Contribute tax input to the annual budget process, including effective tax rate planning and cash tax forecasting
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
EXPERIENCE
Solid background in corporate tax from a listed company, Big Four advisory firm, or a combination
- Proven experience in an international setup – working across multiple jurisdictions with different tax regimes is a
requirement, not a preference
- Strong transfer pricing expertise – including documentation, benchmarking, and handling of authority enquiries; this is the
area where we need the most depth
Familiarity with VAT compliance across Nordic and/or European jurisdictions; experience with customs and duties is an advantage
- Experience working alongside legal, finance, and external counsel in a group-company context; comfortable managing external
advisors as well as being hands-on yourself
COMPETENCIES
- Technical depth – you have genuine command of your domain and can engage credibly with tax authorities, auditors, and senior
advisors without relying on others to translate
- Commercial judgment – you can translate complex tax positions into clear business implications and advise leadership with
confidence and precision
- Builder mentality – you are energised by building structure where little exists, and can operate independently while knowing
when to escalate or bring in external support
- Stakeholder fluency – you communicate with clarity at all levels, including CFO and board, and collaborate effectively across
Finance, Legal, and the business
- Integrity & judgment – you take tax seriously as a governance matter, not just a compliance exercise, and are comfortable
navigating the line between optimisation and risk
LANGUAGE & EDUCATION
Fluent in English (written and spoken) – used in day-to-day work across Group and brand entities
- Relevant academic background in Law, Economics, Business, or Accounting; professional tax qualifications (e.g.LL.M. in Tax, or
equivalent) are an advantage
WHAT WE OFFER
A newly created role with full ownership of the tax agenda for a listed, multi-country Group – rare at this career stage
- Close collaboration with the Group CFO and Head of Group Finance – you will be a trusted voice in Group Finance leadership, not
a back-office function
- The mandate and resources to build the function properly – including the ability to engage external advisors where the
complexity warrants it
- A seat in a professionally ambitious Group Finance organisation undergoing active transformation, with real influence on how
the function develops
Competitive compensation package commensurate with seniority and scope
Headquarters in Tilst, Aarhus, with flexibility for travel to Group locations and key advisors as needed
