Temporary Head of Tax - Public Sector - Part-time

Your new company

You will be joining a large, well-established organisation within the public sector, known for its strong reputation and impact on a national and international scale. With a collaborative culture and a highly knowledgeable finance function, this organisation offers an excellent environment to make a tangible impact over a short-term assignment.


Your new role

This is an interim Head of Tax position on a temporary contract expected to run for 10–12 weeks, with the potential for extension. The role is part-time (3 days per week), although there is flexibility around this for the right candidate. You will take ownership of the organisation’s corporation tax position, with a key focus on overseeing activity in the lead-up to the CT deadline. You will be responsible for reviewing and signing off tax work, providing guidance and strategic oversight and ensuring compliance. The role sits within an established tax function of 8 professionals, where you will provide leadership, direction and support, as well as act as a key point of contact for senior stakeholders across the business.


What you'll need to succeed

  • Strong corporation tax experience
  • Proven experience operating at Head of Tax / Senior Manager / Tax Director level
  • Ability to step into a role quickly and provide immediate oversight and leadership
  • Professional qualification such as ACA / ACCA / CTA (or equivalent)
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
  • Experience within the public sector or large matrix organisations is desirable
  • Global mobility / international tax exposure would be advantageous but not essential

What you'll get in return

  • A competitive day rate reflective of experience

  • Flexible, part-time working (3 days per week)

  • Opportunity to gain high-level exposure within a large and complex organisation

  • The chance to lead and influence a capable in-house tax team

  • Potential for contract extension beyond the initial term

  • Valuable experience within a respected public sector environment
