Tax Manager (VP) | Global Investment Bank | London
A leading global independent advisory firm is looking for a tax professional who wants to be a business partner, not just a compliance function.
The role
You’ll be the go-to tax voice for senior Finance and business leaders across a regional platform spanning EMEA and Asia, covering around a dozen jurisdictions across Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. Reporting to the regional Tax Director, you’ll take real ownership of the tax agenda and manage a more junior team member.
This is a role for someone who likes to be in the room when decisions are being made.
What you’ll do
- Advise the business. Be the first call for Finance and senior stakeholders on tax questions, giving clear, commercially minded advice that helps them make decisions.
- Shape the structure. Support group reorganisations, new business initiatives and product launches from a tax perspective, and spot risks and opportunities early.
- Lead on international tax. Work on transfer pricing, withholding tax and Pillar Two, and help the firm adapt as the rules develop across the region.
- Own the numbers. Oversee tax provisioning and disclosures under UK and US GAAP, as well as cash forecasting, working closely with controllers and external advisers.
- Manage relationships. Work with external advisers and tax authorities, and make sure the right governance is in place.
- Build the function. Mentor and develop your direct report, and improve how the team works through better processes, standardisation and automation.
About you
- ACA and/or CTA qualified ideally, with circa 3- 5+ years’ post-qualification experience, ideally Big 4 followed by in-house financial services
- Strong UK corporate tax and tax accounting background, with exposure to international tax and transfer pricing
- Experience in financial services such as investment banking, capital markets or asset management is strongly preferred
- Confident in front of senior stakeholders, and able to explain complex tax issues simply
- Commercially minded, able to balance technical accuracy with practical judgement and to see what really matters in terms of materiality and risk
- Happy to own a process end to end and work with limited supervision
Why it’s worth a conversation
A broad international remit, real visibility with senior Finance leadership, and the chance to develop a team and shape how tax is delivered across a growing regional platform.
