UK Tax Manager Location: London / Surrey / Northern Home Counties (Hybrid) Salary: Up to c.£120,000 + benefits Are you at the point where you want more than just delivering compliance? Would you value a role where your technical grounding is respected, but your exposure genuinely broadens? We're working with a highly respected, international group that has built a reputation for doing things properly. Structured, well-governed but without the bureaucracy that can sometimes slow everything down. This is an opportunity to step into a well-established in-house tax function where you'll be trusted with real responsibility across multiple UK entities, while also gaining exposure to the kind of work that typically sits just out of reach in more siloed roles. You'll report into an experienced and supportive UK & Ireland tax lead, in a team that combines strong technical standards with a pragmatic, commercial approach. The role (without the fluff) This isn't a "process-only" compliance position. Yes, you'll take ownership of UK corporation tax compliance and reporting but alongside that, you'll find yourself involved in: Advising on business activity, restructures and transactions Supporting employment tax matters and working closely with HR Getting involved in R&D and wider tax incentive work Navigating HMRC engagement, governance, and risk processes Contributing to improvements in systems, controls, and how tax is delivered across the UK group In short, it's the kind of role where you build breadth as well as depth - something that becomes increasingly important at this level. What tends to work well here If any of the points describe you, this could be the ideal opportunity: You've built a solid grounding in UK corporate tax (practice or in-house) and want to apply it more broadly You're comfortable owning deadlines, but equally enjoy understanding the "why" behind the numbers You like working with stakeholders outside of tax - finance, HR, operations - rather than sitting in a silo You're naturally curious and want exposure to areas like employment tax, transfer pricing, or group-level projects You want to develop your in-house career in a business where tax has a seat at the table Why this role stands out A genuinely broad in-house remit across compliance, reporting, and advisory Exposure to a complex, multinational environment without being lost in it A team that values collaboration over hierarchy A business that invests in doing tax properly - systems, governance and people Clear scope to grow your role over time as your experience deepens If you're starting to question whether your current role is giving you the exposure you'll need in the next 2-3 years, this could be a worthwhile conversation. We do our best to reply to EVERY application! We have been candidates too and we work hard to treat you in the same way that we would want to be treated. Therefore, we try not to rely on a generic advert disclaimer as this is something that is important for us and the businesses we partner with. Given the high volume of responses we receive from the combination of job boards, social media and other sources and despite our best efforts, many of our responses will be via email as we simply can't call every application - We know that may not quite what you want to hear but we hope you'll understand and that you like our approach.
