A high-growth UK business in the consumer services space is seeking a commercially astute Senior Group Tax Manager to join its Finance leadership team.
This is a high-impact, broad tax role with direct access to the CFO, encompassing oversight of all tax affairs, with particular emphasis on VAT, alongside employment and corporate taxes. The business is scaling rapidly and investing in technology and operational innovation, so this role offers genuine scope to influence tax strategy, compliance processes and systems.
Key responsibilities:
* Act as the primary VAT subject matter expert, advising on tax impacts of new products, commercial changes and systems development.

* Manage HMRC interactions and build strong working relationships with external advisers.
* Proactively identify and mitigate tax risk, driving process improvements across tax operations.
What we’re looking for:
* A qualified accountant and/or tax professional (ACA/CTA or equivalent).
* Strong technical grounding in UK VAT, likely gained in a Big 4 or large advisory environment.
* Experience in in-house tax leadership roles, or looking to make a first move into industry at senior level.
* Excellent stakeholder management skills, able to communicate clearly with both finance and non-finance colleagues.
* A hands-on, pragmatic approach, with the agility to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial setting.
What’s on offer:
* Basic salary £110,000 to £130,000
* Share options and employee savings schemes
* Flexible hybrid working (2 days per week in a central London hub)
* Generous pension, health benefits, and wellbeing support
