Lead and shape the tax strategy at one of Australia's leading retirement living providers while accelerating your career in a growing organisation.

At Levande, we create vibrant, connected communities that enhance the lives of our residents. As a leading operator in the retirement living sector, we strive for excellence in everything we do-including how we manage our financial and tax affairs.

We are seeking a Senior Tax Manager to lead tax compliance, reporting, and strategic advisory functions. This is a career-defining opportunity to step into a key leadership role, ensuring Levande meets all taxation obligations while optimising tax benefits and minimising exposure. Reporting to the Head of Tax, you will be a trusted expert, providing commercially astute and technically sound tax advice across the organisation, with the potential to progress into senior leadership as Levande continues to grow.

Your Impact:

  • Lead tax compliance across GST, income tax, land tax, stamp duty, and withholding taxes.
  • Oversee tax reporting, provisioning, and financial statement disclosures in compliance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASB).
  • Develop and implement tax-efficient strategies aligned with Levande's business objectives.
  • Provide expert tax advice on business operations, capital structures, and projects, working closely with Finance, Treasury, and Legal teams.
  • Monitor and interpret legislative changes, ensuring proactive tax risk management.
  • Collaborate with external advisors, the ATO, and auditors to manage tax risks and compliance.
  • Drive process improvements, automation initiatives, and system enhancements.
  • Play a key role in shaping Levande's tax function, with opportunities for professional growth and leadership development.

What You'll Bring:

  • A relevant tax law qualification and deep expertise in Australian corporate tax law.
  • Background in the retirement living or property sector, or in a leading global accounting firm specialising in tax advisory or compliance for property portfolios.
  • Proven track record in a Senior Manager-level tax role within a large corporate or multinational environment.
  • Strong ability to simplify complex tax issues and communicate effectively with stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated expertise in tax compliance, strategy, and risk management.
  • A proactive and analytical mindset, with the ability to drive initiatives and process improvements.
