Most Tax roles in listed groups are corporation tax and nothing else.
This one covers the lot, which is why it's the type of job well suited to someone who wants to be a Head of Tax in three or four years rather than a just a focused corporation tax bod.
Our client is a listed UK FTSE company with a substantial global estate turning over more than £2bn.
What you'd actually be doing
Everything (nope, not a recruiter's exaggeration) - the remit spans completing and filing group corporation tax computations, tax accounting, tax technology/transformation, capital allowances, cash tax forecasting, QIPs, employment taxes, BIKs, and ad-hoc VAT advice (across a large property portfolio), advising on group reorganisations, and other advice to whoever in the business needs it that week.
You'd be overseeing a small tax team and reporting into the charismatic Head of Tax, supporting them through HMRC enquiries and providing specialist tax input to contribute towards the firms substantial business change and technology projects, covering tax research through to testing.
If you like doing one tax very deeply, this isn't for you.
If you've been meaning to broaden out, or you're in practice and tired of advising on decisions you never see implemented, then put yourself forward.
Why it's a good move
The breadth is unusual at this level.
Most Tax Manager roles in listed groups are corporate tax only, with VAT, tax tech, tax disputes, and employment taxes sitting elsewhere.
Here no two days will be the same plus you'll get direct visibility with the Group CFO and Group Finance Director.
What they're looking for
You should have CTA or ACA or both, with strong UK corporate tax experience, and keen to broaden that exposure.
This would suit someone already operating in-house or someone looking to take their first leap out of practice.
Beyond the technical, you'll need strong interpersonal skills and the ability to explain tax to stakeholders who don't do tax, as well as the judgement to know which questions need escalating.
The package
£70k-£80k salary + bonus + share scheme + enhanced pension private medical, life assurance, hybrid (2-3 days in office).
