The Role
As a Corporate Tax Director, you will take a lead role in advising a portfolio of complex and varied clients, including owner‑managed businesses, UK groups, international companies, and inbound investors. The position is firmly advisory‑focused, with scope to shape solutions rather than operate within rigid frameworks. You will work closely with Partners and other Directors, playing a key role in client development, technical leadership and the ongoing growth of the corporate tax offering.

- Leading on complex advisory work, including restructuring, acquisitions and disposals, international tax, and group structuring

- Supporting Partners with strategic initiatives, business development and proposals
- Providing technical leadership and mentoring to senior managers and wider team members
- Contributing to the firm's profile through internal knowledge sharing and external thought leadership
About You

- Operating at Director level or a Senior Manager ready to step up
- CTA, ACA or equivalent qualification
- Strong technical capability combined with a pragmatic, client‑focused mindset
- Confident communicator who enjoys working closely with clients and stakeholders
- Commercially aware, with an interest in helping shape and grow a practice
Why Join?
- Advisory‑led firm with minimal audit influence and high Partner accessibility
- Diverse, intellectually interesting client base rather than highly standardised work
- Entrepreneurial culture where ideas and initiative are encouraged
- Clear progression pathways supported by long‑term succession planning
- Flexible and hybrid working embedded into the firm's culture
