Step out of practice. Shape the future of tax. Many people in traditional tax advisory roles are looking to pivot into tax technology, but it is not always easy. I'm partnering with a high-growth UK-based tax technology start-up on a rare opportunity for a commercially minded Corporate Tax professional to step into product and play a key role in building something from the ground up. And the best thing is: you don't need a tech background. What matters is the ability to take complex corporation tax concepts and turn them into something clear, usable, and commercially relevant. You'll sit between tax and technology, working closely with engineers to shape a product that is intuitive, practical, and grounded in real-world tax needs. A big part of the role is talking to accountants, understanding their workflows and pain points, and translating that insight into actionable product features. The team is small but passionate. They care deeply about building a strong product, yet they are down-to-earth, collaborative, and approachable. It's a relaxed environment where people take ownership, get stuck in, and make an impact without unnecessary hierarchy. This role will suit someone with a solid corporate tax foundation who has managed a range of clients (including OMBs to SMEs) and is curious and proactive enough to step outside the traditional path. It's ideal for someone who enjoys problem-solving, improving processes and translating client needs into practical solutions for the technical team. The role can be fully remote or hybrid if based in London or York. The package is competitive and includes equity, reflecting the level of ownership and impact you will have.
