M&A / Deals Tax Manager
UK | Hybrid | Permanent
Interested in moving into M&A Tax but don’t have direct Deals experience?
A major global Practice is looking to appoint a Manager into its highly regarded M&A / Deals Tax team.
Crucially, previous M&A experience is not essential. The team is open to strong UK tax professionals with solid technical foundations, commercial instincts and a genuine interest in transactions.
The team advises private equity houses, credit funds and institutional investors across the full transaction lifecycle, including acquisitions, disposals, refinancing, restructuring and listing activity. The work is fast-paced, commercial and frequently cross-border, with exposure to complex UK and international tax matters.
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.
About the Role
As a Manager, you will work closely with senior members of the team on a broad range of transactions, analysing deal documentation, identifying key tax issues and translating technical findings into clear, commercially focused advice.
You will also have the opportunity to:
- Work directly with clients, legal advisers and other transaction specialists
- Collaborate with UK and international tax teams on multi-jurisdictional deals
- Contribute to proposals, pitches and wider business development activity
- Build strong relationships with clients and intermediaries
- Coach and develop junior members of the team
Requirements
The successful candidate is likely to be CTA or ACA/CA qualified (or equivalent), with strong UK corporate tax experience.

This could be an excellent move for someone currently working in corporate tax who wants to take their career in a more commercial, transaction-led direction and build genuine M&A experience.
You will need strong analytical skills, commercial judgement and the confidence to operate in a client-facing environment where deadlines can be demanding and priorities move quickly.
For an experienced tax professional looking to move closer to transactions, this is an excellent opportunity to develop specialist M&A expertise within a market-leading global advisory environment.
