Why Join
We're not just looking for a tax professional—we're looking for a tech-savvy problem solver who's ready to transform how tax works in a leading financial institution. This is a newly created role in OCBC's Group Tax Advisory team, designed for someone who's curious, collaborative, and excited to shape the future of tax reporting through technology.

How you succeed

To succeed in this role, you'll need to stay up-to-date on the latest tax laws and regulations, and be able to apply that knowledge to complex business scenarios. You'll work closely with Business to understand their needs and objectives, and develop tailored tax solutions that meet their needs. You'll also need to collaborate with other teams within the bank, such as audit and risk management, to ensure that the Bank is in compliance with all relevant regulations.

What you do

• Lead the charge in tax tech: You will have a bird's eye view of OCBC's tax technology systems, to own, operate & manage and be at the forefront of digital transformation in tax.

• Drive smarter processes: You will have an eagle's eye view of all tax processes and have a ring-side seat to participate in the reinvention of how tax data is captured, processed, and reported—making things faster, smarter, and more accurate.

• Make tax public and meaningful: Your tax knowledge will be critical (will not be forgotten or sidelined) as you use it to explain the Group's effective tax rate ("ETR") and support financial reporting for tax expenses, deferred taxes, and disclosures, with the system as your key enabler.

• Collaborate across teams: We understand that you will find it challenging to explain the Group ETR without understanding the business and the financial accounting rules. Hence, you will have many opportunities to work closely with business units and finance teams to understand transactions and their tax impact. At some point in your career here, you will also participate in the New Product Approval Process to enhance your understanding of the products and services in the Group

You'll be part of the Group Tax Advisory team, reporting into the team lead for BEPS Pillar 2.

Who you are

• A degree in Accountancy, with solid understanding of accounting entries and deferred tax.

• At least 5 years of experience in tax compliance or tax technology (e.g., tax provision, computations, or returns).

• Must have a passion for technology—whether it's implementing systems, maintenance or improving user experience.

• Experience in banking or insurance tax is a plus, but not a must.

• A self-starter who's comfortable working independently and engaging with diverse stakeholders, including IT, Finance, business and tax colleagues.
