Indirect Tax Leader | Growing Technology Company | London / Thames Valley (Hybrid)
Looking for a Big 4 or Top 10 alternative that doesn't mean giving up advisory work?
Our client is a fast-growing technology company that has built a large VAT practice within its business.

What you'll be doing
- Leading and developing a large team of UK and international VAT professionals
- Overseeing UK VAT compliance and a broad portfolio of advisory work
- Working closely with sales teams to win new clients, grow revenue and build long-term relationships
- Acting as the senior technical and commercial point of contact for key clients
- Managing local and international teams to keep quality, consistency and delivery high across jurisdictions
- Travelling across London and the Thames Valley to meet clients and teams
What you'll bring
- Strong indirect tax / VAT expertise across both compliance and advisory
- A proven record of managing large teams (essential)
- Experience from Big 4, Top 10 or a similar advisory environment, ideally at Director level
- Commercial awareness, with experience of or appetite for business development and client acquisition
- Confidence working with senior stakeholders, both internal and external
- Flexibility to travel around London and the Thames Valley
Why this role?
- Autonomy and influence: a high-responsibility role where your decisions shape the function
- Long-term financial incentives: real upside tied to the company's growth
- Practice without the partnership treadmill: advisory work and client variety in a product-led business
- Growth: join a scaling organisation where the team and your role will grow with it
