Distinct are proud to be partnering with International Personal Finance to recruit their next Group Tax Manager
This is a rare opportunity to shape tax strategy in an international business with purpose.
International Personal Finance (IPF)
IPF helps millions of customers across Europe and Mexico access affordable credit and insurance products. While many financial institutions focus on customers who have the most options, IPF's purpose is centred on supporting those who often have the fewest. For more than a century, the business has helped widen access to financial services through a responsible and sustainable approach to lending.
Today, IPF combines the scale and complexity of an international listed group with a culture that remains collaborative, entrepreneurial and genuinely people-focused. Following internal career progression, IPF is now looking to add a Group Tax Manager to its Leeds-based team, and this is a properly broad, hands-on role rather than one focused purely on compliance delivery.
The role
You'll take a hands-on lead across a wide range of UK and international tax matters, partnering closely with colleagues across finance, treasury and overseas operations. Day to day that means managing the tax affairs of UK group companies, including:
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.
- intra-group financing
- CFC positions
- CIR rules
- R&D reviews
- SAO requirements
You'll also be involved in HMRC enquiries as they arise.
You'll also pick up UK tax aspects of group treasury policy and play a key role in year end and interim tax reporting for IPF's consolidated accounts under IFRS, including review of overseas tax packs and UK tax calculations.
There's a strong transfer pricing element too. You'll support the Group Head of Tax on the group's governance framework and get stuck into the ongoing development of transfer pricing strategy, including Master File and Country by Country Reporting, and supporting APA negotiations with revenue authorities. You'll be liaising regularly with in house local tax managers overseas, so this isn't a role where you're sat in isolation, it's genuinely cross border and collaborative.
What they're looking for
You'll be ACA or CTA qualified (or both), with in depth knowledge of UK taxation including international aspects such as CFCs and CIR. Strong technical skills, the ability to manage complex issues independently, and some direct experience handling HMRC disputes are all important here. Exposure to international tax or cross border transactions would be a real advantage, though none of that is a dealbreaker if your core UK technical background is strong.

- Salary: Competitive
- Car allowance: £6,000
- Annual bonus: 25%

Based in Leeds on a hybrid basis (2 to 3 days a week in the office), this is a role that offers real strategic visibility, international exposure and the chance to broaden your technical and commercial expertise within a listed international group, all without losing the collaborative, down to earth culture IPF is known for.
