Transaction Tax Senior Manager

About The Role...

You’ve been around deals long enough to know that great tax advice isn’t about ticking boxes, it’s about shaping outcomes. At Cooper Parry, you’ll be at the centre of the action: advising investors, management teams and entrepreneurs on the moments that matter most. You’ll lead complex projects, drive growth, mentor the next generation of deal advisers, and help define what world-class looks like in our fast-scaling Transaction Tax team.

About The Day To Day…

Lead multi-disciplinary deal teams on tax due diligence, structuring and advisory projects for private equity and corporate clients. Be a trusted voice in negotiations, providing calm, commercial advice when the stakes are high. Manage and grow relationships with PE houses, corporates and management teams across the UK mid-market. Support the strategic direction of the team — shaping propositions, delivery models and the way we go to market. Coach and develop managers and junior team members, fostering confidence and technical excellence. Collaborate across Cooper Parry’s corporate finance and transaction services teams to deliver a seamless client experience.

About You...

You’re technically sharp and commercially switched on, someone who sees beyond the numbers to the bigger picture. You enjoy leading teams, building relationships and finding creative ways to deliver outstanding results.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
