Your New Company

A leading international organisation is seeking an experienced Interim Senior Tax Manager to join its established tax function during a period of transition. Operating across multiple jurisdictions, the business has a complex global structure and a strong focus on continuous improvement, transformation and operational excellence.
This is an excellent opportunity for an accomplished tax specialist to join a high-performing team on an interim basis, providing critical support while a permanent hire is secured. A thorough handover will be provided, ensuring a smooth transition into the role.

Your New Role

Reporting directly to the Head of Tax, you will act as a senior technical specialist, taking ownership of key tax compliance, reporting and return processes across the group.
This is a genuinely hands-on position, requiring an individual who enjoys being involved in the detail and delivering work directly, rather than managing teams and delegating responsibilities.
Key responsibilities will include:
  • Managing UK and group corporate tax compliance activities.
  • Preparing and reviewing tax computations, returns and associated reporting requirements.
  • Supporting tax reporting and period-end processes.
  • Working with key tax systems including:
    • Alphatax
    • OneSource
    • QIPS
    • CFC reporting
    • GPA
    • Group Relief
  • Ensuring tax obligations are met accurately and within required deadlines.
  • Acting as the technical tax expert for complex tax matters.
  • Liaising with finance, accounting and business stakeholders across the organisation.
  • Working collaboratively with offshore tax teams based overseas.
  • Supporting tax transformation and change initiatives, including offshore operating model programmes.
  • Preparing presentations and communicating effectively with senior stakeholders, including CFO-level audiences.
  • Providing knowledge transfer and support throughout the interim assignment.
What You'll Need to Succeed

To be successful in this role, you will be a qualified tax professional with a strong technical background gained within large, complex multinational organisations.
You will demonstrate:
  • ACA, ACCA, CTA or equivalent professional qualification.
  • Extensive experience in corporate tax compliance and reporting.
  • Strong working knowledge of Alphatax, OneSource, QIPS, CFC, GPA and Group Relief processes.
  • Experience operating in large multinational or highly complex group structures.
  • A hands-on approach with the ability to manage work independently.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and relationship-building skills.
  • Confidence presenting technical information to senior executives and CFO-level stakeholders.
  • Experience working with offshore or shared service teams.
  • Exposure to tax transformation, change management or offshore transition programmes.
  • Strong attention to detail combined with a commercial and pragmatic mindset.

What You'll Get in Return

  • Opportunity to join a recognised global organisation during a key period of transition.
  • High-profile role with direct exposure to senior leadership.
  • Flexible hybrid working arrangement with two office days per week.
  • Immediate impact within a complex and intellectually stimulating environment.
  • Initial 4–6 month contract with a full handover provided.
  • Opportunity to leverage your specialist tax expertise within a collaborative and experienced team.
