Tax Manager
About the Opportunity
Our client is a well-established international consumer-focused organisation with a strong brand presence and a collaborative, values-led culture. Operating across multiple markets, the business maintains high standards of governance, compliance, and continuous improvement.
This opportunity is particularly suited to a Tax Manager currently working within accountancy practice who is looking to make their first move into industry and broaden their commercial impact within an in-house tax function.
The Role
The Tax Manager will take ownership of the UK domestic tax function, ensuring robust compliance and governance while acting as a strategic adviser to senior stakeholders.
External advisers will undertake the detailed compliance preparation work, with the Tax Manager responsible for oversight, review, coordination, and providing commercial tax input.
This role offers an excellent transition from a practice environment into a broader, commercially focused in-house position, with significant exposure to business decision-making, stakeholder engagement, and UK domestic tax matters.
