This is a fantastic opportunity for somebody looking to move into a commercially focused business environment and gain exposure beyond a traditional practice-based tax role. The position offers the chance to work within a growing multi-entity group where tax sits closely alongside the wider commercial and operational finance teams.
The business has continued to evolve across multiple jurisdictions, creating a varied and highly visible role with exposure across both day-to-day tax activities and wider business projects. The successful candidate will gain experience working across different areas of tax whilst building strong relationships across the wider finance function.
The role would suit somebody currently operating within either practice or industry who is looking to continue developing technically whilst gaining broader commercial exposure within an in-house setting.
Key Responsibilities:
- Supporting day-to-day tax activities across the business
- Assisting with reporting and compliance requirements
- Supporting wider finance and commercial projects
- Working closely with internal stakeholders and external advisers
- Assisting with process improvement across the finance function
Ideal Background:
- ATT qualified / CTA studying or similar
- Previous exposure within tax or broader finance environments
- Strong communication and organisational skills
- Desire to move into a commercially focused in-house role
- Exposure to multi-entity or international environments would be advantageous
This role offers strong long-term development and the opportunity to build a broad range of exposure within an evolving international business.

Dear Hiring Manager,
NXTGEN's search for a Tax Analyst to join this growing international business in Thetford is a role that aligns closely with the direction I want my career to take. Having built solid foundations in tax compliance and multi-entity reporting, I am keen to apply my ATT qualification within a commercially focused in-house environment where tax sits alongside operational finance rather than in isolation.
My background in tax compliance and reporting has given me hands-on experience managing obligations across multiple entities, working with external advisers, and supporting finance teams on process improvement initiatives. I have developed the technical grounding and organisational discipline needed to handle varied compliance workstreams, and I am currently progressing my CTA studies to deepen that expertise further.
