Corporate Tax Manager (In-House) - FTSE Listed
St Albans or Wembley · £70k-£80k + bonus + benefits
Our client is a listed UK FTSE company with a substantial global estate turning over more than £2bn.
What you'd actually be doing
Everything (nope, not a recruiter's exaggeration) - the remit spans completing and filing group corporation tax computations, tax accounting, tax technology/transformation, capital allowances, cash tax forecasting, QIPs, employment taxes, BIKs, and ad-hoc VAT advice (across a large property portfolio), advising on group reorganisations, and other advice to whoever in the business needs it that week.
You'd be overseeing a small tax team and reporting into the charismatic Head of Tax, supporting them through HMRC enquiries and providing specialist tax input to contribute towards the firm's substantial business change and technology projects, covering tax research through to testing.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
If you like doing one tax very deeply, this isn't for you. If you've been meaning to broaden out, or you're in practice and tired of advising on decisions you never see implemented, then put yourself forward.
Why it's a good move
The breadth is unusual at this level. Most Tax Manager roles in listed groups are corporate tax only, with VAT, tax tech, tax disputes, and employment taxes sitting elsewhere. Here no two days will be the same plus you'll get direct visibility with the Group CFO and Group Finance Director.
What they're looking for
You should have CTA or ACA or both, with strong UK corporate tax experience, and keen to broaden that exposure. This would suit someone already operating in-house or someone looking to take their first leap out of practice.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Beyond the technical, you'll need strong interpersonal skills and the ability to explain tax to stakeholders who don't do tax, as well as the judgement to know which questions need escalating.
The package
£70k-£80k salary + bonus + share scheme + enhanced pension private medical, life assurance, hybrid (2-3 days in office).
Interested?
I'm Stuart Adams, CTA - I spent seven years advising on tax before moving into tax recruitment, so you can have a technical conversation about this role rather than standard recruiter speil.
