You will work closely with senior finance leadership, external advisors and tax authorities, acting as a trusted internal expert and providing practical, commercially aligned tax guidance. You will also manage and develop a direct report specialising in corporation tax.

This role offers broad exposure, autonomy, and the opportunity to influence tax processes and governance across the organisation.

  • Lead the relationship with external advisors responsible for global VAT returns.
  • Oversee corporation tax reporting, including reviewing tax provisions and statutory disclosures.
  • Act as primary contact for HMRC and overseas tax authorities.
  • Manage and develop a direct report within the tax function.
  • Identify and mitigate tax risks, ensuring effective policies and controls.
  • Support transfer pricing documentation and policies.
  • Provide clear, practical tax advice to finance and wider business stakeholders.
  • Contribute to finance transformation and process improvement initiatives.

About You

You will be:

  • A qualified accountant or tax specialist (ACA/ACCA/CTA or equivalent).
  • Experienced across corporate tax, VAT and international tax matters.
  • Confident managing relationships with external advisors and tax authorities.
  • Skilled in developing and mentoring team members.
  • Technically strong with the ability to interpret complex legislation.
  • Commercially minded and able to understand the wider business impact of tax decisions.
  • Highly organised, detail‑focused and comfortable managing competing priorities.
  • An effective communicator able to influence and collaborate across the business.
