- Act as the statutory representative of Blueground in the UAE, including signatory authority on regulatory filings, banking documentation, account payable cheques and government submissions
- Prepare and file UAE VAT returns accurately and on time, maintaining full supporting documentation
- Manage corporate tax (CT) compliance for the UAE entity, including calculations, filings, and correspondence with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA)
- Ensure compliance with economic substance regulations and any other applicable UAE regulatory requirements
- Oversee corporate secretarial matters for the UAE entity in coordination with legal counsel
Treasury & Cash Management
- Maintain local banking relationships
- Handle intercompany settlement and reconciliation in coordination with the Group treasury function

- Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CPA, or equivalent) — required
- Prior experience preparing statutory accounts and managing external audits independently
- Solid working knowledge of UAE VAT and corporate tax compliance
- Experience in a multi-entity, multi-currency environment; prior UAE or GCC accounting experience strongly preferred
& Competencies
- Deep technical accounting knowledge with strong command of IFRS
