Head of Direct Tax — High-Growth, Acquisitive SaaS Business
Our client is a highly acquisitive, fast-scaling SaaS business headquartered in West London, operating across dozens of markets globally. With a large and complex international footprint built through sustained M&A activity, they've invested heavily in a tech-forward, AI-enabled finance and tax function, and are looking to bring in a senior tax leader to match that ambition.
Reporting to the Group Head of Tax, this role takes ownership of global income tax compliance and tax reporting across the group, working alongside a wider tax and finance function and managing a small team. It carries genuine seniority, personal responsibility for some of the group's most significant tax relationships and filings, and real scope to shape how compliance and reporting are run going forward.
