About Unity Advisory
Unity Advisory is a pure-play, experience-led CFO advisory firm providing integrated finance, commercial, tax and deals support. We are free from audit conflicts and AI-enabled by design, combining deep technical expertise with automation, analytics and AI built into the delivery of every engagement. We are building an alternative to traditional advisory firms, focused on clarity over complexity, outcomes over hours, and practical advice delivered at pace for CFOs making high-consequence decisions.
The Role
We're hiring a Senior Manager for our Equity Reward Tax team. You'll draw on Deals experience to advise private (including PE-backed) and listed companies on employee share plans and equity incentives — EMI, CSOP, growth shares, MIPs and listed plan structures — working directly with CFOs, HR, legal and investor stakeholders across the deal lifecycle.
Responsibilities
- Lead strategic client engagements involving equity incentive design, implementation, and governance for private (including PE-backed) and listed companies.
- Advise on EMI, CSOP, growth shares, MIPs, RSUs, LTIPs, option plans, and hybrid structures, with a deep understanding of tax, legal, and accounting implications.
- Deliver commercially grounded advice aligned with corporate transactions (e.g., investment rounds, exits, IPOs) and ongoing employee/shareholder alignment.
- Work closely with tax, legal, corporate finance, and valuation teams to deliver integrated, high-quality solutions.
- Drive scalable delivery by implementing AI-enabled tools across modelling, documentation, and communications.
- Lead business development across key accounts and industry sectors, identifying cross-service opportunities and building long-term client relationships.
- Develop and mentor team members, build succession pipelines, and foster technical excellence across the equity and reward specialism.
- Contribute to new proposition development in response to evolving market, regulatory, and investor needs.
