What you'll do:

As an Associate Tax based in Kuala Lumpur, you will be immersed in a dynamic environment where your expertise will directly impact the organisation’s ability to meet its tax obligations efficiently while supporting strategic business decisions. Your day-to-day activities will involve managing compliance processes for both direct and indirect taxes across multiple jurisdictions—primarily Malaysia and Singapore—with opportunities to expand your scope as the company grows internationally. You will collaborate closely with internal teams as well as external advisors to address complex tax issues, provide guidance on cross-border transactions, and ensure that all regulatory requirements are met promptly. Your role will also see you engaging with authorities on incentives or grants while contributing valuable insights into projects that drive business success. Success in this position requires not only technical proficiency but also excellent interpersonal skills to foster cooperation among diverse stakeholders. By joining this forward-thinking team, you will have the chance to develop your professional capabilities within an inclusive setting that values knowledge sharing, continuous learning, and personal growth.

• Ensure timely fulfilment of all tax compliance requirements by coordinating closely with internal teams and external consultants to maintain accuracy and adherence to regulatory standards.
• Manage tax risks proactively by identifying potential issues early on and providing comprehensive advisory support to various business groups within the organisation.
• Assist in the execution of assigned projects by collaborating with local and overseas consultants on complex tax matters relevant to the business segments.

What you bring:

To excel as an Associate Tax in this esteemed organisation, you should bring proven experience from either a reputable accounting firm or an established corporate tax department. Your academic background should include accountancy qualifications such as ACCA or CPA—or their equivalents—ensuring you have solid technical foundations. While knowledge of the oil & gas or renewables sectors would be beneficial due to the nature of the business segments involved, it is your ability to adapt quickly within evolving environments that will set you apart. Your interpersonal strengths will help you build trust-based relationships across teams locally and internationally; clear communication skills are essential for translating intricate regulations into actionable advice for stakeholders at all levels. Organisational acumen is key given the need to juggle multiple responsibilities concurrently while upholding meticulous standards. Above all else, your openness towards learning from others in a multicultural setting—and willingness to share insights generously—will make you an invaluable member of this collaborative team.

• Possess some relevant experience gained either from a Big 4 accounting firm or from working within an in-house tax function at a large organisation.
• Hold a degree in Accountancy or possess ACCA / CPA qualification or equivalent credentials recognised within the industry.
• Demonstrate familiarity with the oil and gas sector or renewable energy industries; prior exposure is considered an added advantage but not mandatory.
• Exhibit the ability to work dependably within a fast-evolving environment while maintaining high standards of accuracy under pressure.
• Showcase strong interpersonal skills that enable effective collaboration with colleagues from diverse backgrounds as well as external consultants.
• Display excellent communication abilities—both written and verbal—to articulate complex tax concepts clearly to non-specialist audiences when required.
• Bring robust organisational skills that allow you to manage multiple priorities simultaneously without compromising attention to detail or deadlines.
• Demonstrate sensitivity towards cultural diversity by thriving in an international workplace where teamwork is highly valued.
