We drive process improvements and support strategic initiatives that enhance our international tax environments. By collaborating across functions, we help maintain the organisation’s growth and integrity on a global scale.

You will also act as a key point of contact between leadership and the broader finance function, supporting the organisation’s financial outcomes and growth.

What you offer

• Experience in a comparable Manager position within an accountancy firm, with post‑qualification experience in an in‑house tax reporting function
• Strong technical expertise in UK tax
• Background in corporate tax for large organisations and consolidated groups, including tax accounting and compliance
• Exposure to European (non‑UK) tax accounting and compliance
