Global Minimum Tax Data Stabilisation Director

The mandate

This interim seat will stabilise the data, calculation and control chain used for global minimum-tax reporting. The immediate gap is not lack of technical commentary; it is the absence of one reproducible path from entity population and financial records to jurisdictional calculations, safe-harbour conclusions and reporting entries. The appointee must start within three weeks and leave permanent owners able to run the process.

In the first twenty business days, the Director will reconcile the entity and permanent-establishment population, identify source owners for material inputs, trace transformations and catalogue manual interventions. Data confidence must be expressed separately from technical uncertainty. Where source definitions cannot be reconciled, the interim will establish a governed exception rather than allow a silent approximation.

Temporary authority includes setting calculation controls, refusing unsupported inputs, directing defect remediation, approving routine methodology application within delegation and escalating elections or reserved judgments. Formal elections, tax filings, financial-statement approval and legal restructuring stay with named authorities. A platform replacement and unrelated tax-data projects are outside scope.

Handover begins in month five. Permanent tax and finance owners will run a full calculation cycle and subsequent refresh while the interim observes control decisions. Exit requires reconciled population, tested data lineage, approved methodology records, cleared critical defects, an operational exception register and signed acceptance from both tax and financial-reporting owners.

What you will own

• Reconcile the GloBE population across ownership, accounting consolidation, tax residence and permanent-establishment records, documenting every difference.
• Define source hierarchy, data owner, transformation, review control and reconciliation for each material calculation input.
• Establish separate confidence ratings for factual data, technical interpretation and forecast assumptions so uncertainty is not hidden in one status.
• Test safe-harbour calculations, transition attributes, covered taxes, deferred-tax inputs and jurisdictional results against controlled records.
• Institute a change ledger recording source revisions, methodology changes, elections, model versions, financial effect and approving authority.
• Direct remediation of critical lineage and calculation defects and require retesting before a cycle is released to reporting governance.
• Prepare tax and finance successors through a full run, a late-source-change simulation and an observed governance presentation.
• Transfer an accepted calculation pack, control matrix, methodology log, exception register and forward reporting calendar.

Candidate qualifications

• At least 16 years in international tax, tax accounting or tax data, including Director-level leadership of a Pillar Two implementation or reporting cycle.
• Evidence of reconciling a global minimum-tax entity population across accounting and tax records, including a discrepancy with material consequences.
• Working mastery of GloBE data requirements, safe harbours, covered taxes, deferred tax, transition rules and calculation governance.
• A case where you rejected a technically plausible output because data lineage, versioning or reconciliation could not support it.
• Experience coordinating tax and financial-reporting approvals without merging their distinct judgments or evidence responsibilities.
• Practical command of manual-control risk, data transformation testing, exception governance and defect retesting.
• A handover record in which permanent teams demonstrated both routine calculation and response to a late source change.

Working terms and boundaries

• The ten-month engagement runs five days a week; extension is capped at two months and requires an incomplete successor-led reporting cycle.
• The interim sets data and calculation controls within delegation, while elections, filings, restructuring and financial-statement approval remain reserved.
• Platform replacement, unrelated tax analytics and legal-entity redesign are excluded and cannot be absorbed into stabilisation.
• On-site presence in Abu Dhabi is required during reconstruction and the first controlled run, with approved travel for source validation.
• Completion depends on two successor-led operations, retested critical defects, reconciled population and separate tax and finance acceptance signatures.
