Tax Manager
Job description
Original text imported from Reed
NXTGEN are supporting an international multi-entity business in the search for a Tax Manager to join its growing in-house finance function. This Tax Manager opportunity offers broad exposure across corporate tax, indirect taxes and wider commercial projects, making it an excellent opportunity for a Tax Manager looking to move into a more visible and commercially focused environment.
This is a genuinely interesting opportunity for a commercially minded tax professional looking to step into a broader and more visible role within an evolving business environment. The position offers exposure far beyond a traditional compliance-led tax role, with involvement across corporate tax, indirect taxes, group reporting, international entities and wider business projects.
The business continues to evolve across multiple jurisdictions, creating a role that combines strong technical tax exposure with commercial interaction across the wider finance function and senior stakeholder group.
You will work closely with both internal teams and external advisers, supporting the business across a broad range of tax-related activities whilst helping strengthen processes, reporting and controls across the group.
Key Responsibilities:
- Managing corporate tax activities across the group
- Supporting indirect tax and wider group reporting requirements
- Partnering with senior stakeholders across finance and the wider business
- Supporting tax-related projects and broader commercial initiatives
- Liaising with external advisers and auditors
- Supporting process improvement and strengthening controls across the tax function
The successful candidate is likely to come from either practice or industry and will ideally bring:
- Strong corporate tax experience
- CTA / ACA / ACCA qualification or equivalent
- Experience within multi-entity or international environments
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
- A commercial mindset and desire to operate within a broader business environment
Exposure to acquisitive, project-led or international businesses would be advantageous, although not essential.
This role offers excellent long-term exposure and development within a commercially focused international business where the tax function continues to evolve alongside wider group growth.
