About the position

Are you an experienced tax professional with strong technical expertise and a pragmatic, business-oriented approach? Do you thrive in a dynamic international environment where you can combine strategic advisory work with operational responsibility?

We are looking for a Head of Tax to lead the Group Tax function and ensure that tax matters are managed in a compliant, efficient, and value-creating way across the organization.

As Head of Tax, you will have overall responsibility for the Group’s tax agenda, ensuring robust governance, compliance, and risk management while supporting the business in achieving its strategic objectives. You will develop and drive tax processes, provide expert guidance on complex business matters, and ensure alignment with both local and international tax requirements.

This is a senior role with a broad scope, combining strategic leadership with hands-on involvement in key tax matters, taking responsibility for key tax filings, tax risk assessments, audits and documentation. Acting as a trusted advisor to the CFO, Finance, Treasury, and business stakeholders, you will provide guidance on commercial arrangements, business transformations, financing structures, and other tax-related matters that impact the Group.

Success in this role requires deep technical expertise as well as the ability to work collaboratively, strong stakeholder management skills, and the ability to navigate complex situations where there may not always be a clear answer. You are comfortable challenging established ways of working, navigate ambiguity, listen to different perspectives, and driving continuous improvement of tax processes and practices to support the long-term success of the business.

Key responsibilities

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Leading the Group Tax function and driving effective tax governance across the Group.

• Ensuring compliance with applicable tax regulations for Specialty Chemicals entities.

• Managing corporate income tax matters, including tax computations and income tax returns for SC entities.

• Preparing and filing real estate tax returns for entities.

• Managing and supporting tax audits, inquiries, and communication with tax authorities.

• Advising the business on tax implications of commercial arrangements and business decisions.

• Monitoring and reporting significant tax matters, audits, litigation, and uncertain tax positions to the CFO.

• Assessing tax risks related to acquisitions, divestments, mergers, restructurings, internal share transfers, liquidations, and transfers of functions or assets.

• Monitoring legislative and regulatory developments, assessing their impact on the Group, and recommending appropriate actions.

• Supporting Group Treasury on dividend flows and debt/equity financing structures.

• Reviewing and advising on tax provisions.

• Ensuring alignment with PETRONAS Group tax policies, governance requirements, and expectations.

• Approving relevant tax returns and transfer pricing documentation.

• Representing entities in discussions and correspondence with the relevant Tax Agency when required.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for a senior tax professional with extensive experience in corporate taxation, tax compliance, tax audits, tax authority interactions and advisory support to the business. You combine deep technical expertise with a pragmatic and commercially minded approach, enabling you to provide clear guidance while supporting business objectives in a compliant and responsible way.

You understand that effective tax leadership is about more than identifying risks. It is about helping the business navigate complexity, evaluate alternatives, and find practical solutions that create value while maintaining compliance and strong governance.

You are confident in your expertise and comfortable making difficult decisions when required. At the same time, you build credibility through collaboration, sound judgement, and a communication style that fosters trust and constructive dialogue. You know how to influence stakeholders at different levels of the organization and can translate complex tax matters into clear and actionable recommendations.

Qualifications and experience

We expect that you have:

• A university degree in Law, Economics, Finance, Accounting, or a related field.

• In-depth knowledge of Swedish and international tax regulations.

• At least 10 years of relevant experience within corporate taxation.

• Strong expertise in corporate income tax and broader corporate tax matters.

• Hands-on experience with tax compliance, tax filings, and reporting processes.

• Experience managing tax audits and interacting with tax authorities.

• Experience advising businesses on tax implications of commercial arrangements and business decisions.

• Experience assessing and managing tax risks in an international business environment.

• A solid understanding of transfer pricing and broader corporate tax matters.

It is considered an advantage if you also have:

• Experience from a multinational industrial, manufacturing, or chemical industry environment.

• Previous leadership, people management, or functional leadership experience.

• A professional qualification within tax, law, accounting, or finance.

Personal profile

To succeed in this role, you are a collaborative and business-oriented professional with strong analytical capabilities and sound judgement. You thrive in a dynamic environment and are comfortable navigating complexity, change, and situations where the answer is not always obvious.

You are naturally curious and take a balanced approach to problem-solving, seeking to understand different perspectives before making recommendations. At the same time, you are comfortable challenging established practices and driving improvements when needed.

You bring a high level of integrity, professionalism, and accountability, combined with the ability to build trusted relationships and influence senior stakeholders through expertise, credibility, and clear communication.

What can we offer?

This is an opportunity to take a central role in managing tax matters for an international group with strong industrial roots and a close connection to PETRONAS. You will have a broad mandate, senior exposure and the opportunity to shape tax governance, compliance and risk management in a pragmatic and business-oriented way.
