What you'll do:

As a Tax Manager within this esteemed public-listed real estate developer based in Putrajaya, you will play an instrumental role in shaping the organisation’s approach to taxation across multiple markets. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve not only managing routine compliance tasks but also engaging deeply with strategic projects such as transfer pricing documentation and global minimum tax reporting.

Success in this position requires you to maintain up-to-date knowledge of changing regulations across several countries while fostering strong relationships internally and externally. Your ability to identify optimisation opportunities will directly contribute to the group’s financial health. By ensuring robust processes are in place for audits and regulatory changes—and by offering clear guidance during complex transactions—you will help safeguard the company’s reputation for integrity while supporting its continued growth.

* Supervise the preparation and submission of various tax compliance documents such as transfer pricing documentation, Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR), Global Minimum Tax (GMT), Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT) returns, capital gains tax returns, and other statutory requirements.
* Manage tax audits, investigations, and inquiries from authorities by implementing effective strategies to address queries or disputes promptly and accurately.

* Oversee the implementation of new tax regulations so that the group remains fully compliant with evolving regulatory standards in Malaysia, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, and other relevant jurisdictions.

What you bring:

To excel as a Tax Manager at this leading public-listed real estate developer in Putrajaya, you will bring extensive hands-on experience from senior roles within corporate taxation—ideally gained in property development or multinational settings. Your background should include significant exposure to governance frameworks as well as risk management protocols that underpin sound financial decision-making. In addition to technical proficiency across Malaysian taxation regimes (and ideally those of Singapore, China, or Hong Kong), your success will be driven by your ability to analyse complex scenarios thoughtfully while communicating clearly with colleagues at all levels. A genuine commitment to collaboration sets you apart; your willingness to share insights openly ensures that both finance teams and business units benefit from your expertise. Your attention to detail when managing audits or responding to regulatory changes demonstrates reliability—a quality highly prized by this employer.

* Technical expertise in Malaysian taxation is essential; additional experience handling cross-border taxation issues involving Singapore, China, or Hong Kong is highly desirable.
* Exceptional analytical skills combined with proven problem-solving abilities are necessary for navigating complex regulatory landscapes effectively.
* A collaborative mindset is crucial; you must be able to work dependably within teams while also demonstrating initiative when working independently under minimal supervision.
* Commitment to meeting deadlines consistently alongside a strong sense of responsibility towards both internal stakeholders and external partners is vital for success in this role.
* Excellent interpersonal skills are needed for building trust-based relationships across departments as well as liaising professionally with external consultants or government agencies.
