Your new company

This organisation is a large, UK-headquartered group operating across multiple international markets, with a strong footprint in Europe and North America. Known for combining commercial pace with long-term investment, the business has grown significantly over recent years through both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions. The finance and tax teams work closely with commercial leadership, technology teams, and global stakeholders, creating a collaborative, forward-thinking culture. Flexible working, trust, and professional development are genuinely embedded into the way the business operates.

Your new role

This is an excellent opportunity for a Corporate Tax specialist looking to step into their first in-house role or take the next step within an established industry tax team. As Corporate Tax Manager, you will take ownership of UK corporate tax compliance and reporting, while gaining exposure to wider international tax matters. You'll work as part of a supportive, technically strong team, with clear scope to broaden your responsibilities as the group continues to evolve.

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing the preparation and review of UK corporation tax computations and tax provisions across multiple entities
  • Building a strong understanding of the business operations behind each entity, including transaction flows and key risk areas
  • Acting as a trusted tax contact for finance and non-finance stakeholders, providing clear and practical guidance
  • Supporting and mentoring junior team members, contributing to knowledge sharing and development
  • Working closely with global tax colleagues to coordinate information gathering and ensure consistency of approach
  • Assisting with quarterly and annual tax reporting under IFRS (and exposure to US GAAP where relevant)
  • Supporting capital allowances claims and technical analysis for investment and infrastructure projects
  • Identifying opportunities to improve processes through automation, systems, and smarter use of data
  • Gaining exposure to additional areas of tax as the role develops, including international corporate tax and withholding tax matters

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
