Are you a commercially minded Tax leader looking for a role where you can truly influence strategy and operate at the heart of a growing international business?
This is a high-impact opportunity for a Senior Tax Manager to join a Leeds-based finance leadership team, offering excellent visibility, autonomy, and the chance to shape tax strategy across a UK and European footprint.


The role
Reporting directly to the Group Financial Controller, you will take ownership of all tax matters across the UK and EU, acting as the go-to expert for both compliance and strategic tax advisory. This is far more than a traditional compliance role, you’ll be a key partner to finance and senior leadership, providing insight that supports commercial decision-making, growth, and risk management.
With continued expansion across Europe, you’ll play a critical role in ensuring the business scales in a controlled, compliant, and tax-efficient way.


Key responsibilities
*Lead all aspects of UK and EU tax compliance, including corporate tax, VAT, and statutory reporting

*Act as the subject matter expert on tax, advising senior stakeholders on strategic decisions and commercial activity

*Manage relationships with HMRC and external advisors, ensuring a proactive and well-governed approach

*Support M&A activity, providing tax insight and guidance on transactions and integrations

*Partner with finance, legal, and operational teams on cross-border activity, systems changes, and commercial initiatives

*Drive continuous improvement in tax processes, controls, and governance frameworks

*Support group reporting requirements and ensure alignment with international tax standards



About you
*CTA / ACA / ACCA qualified with strong UK tax expertise

*Experience operating in a complex, international or multi-entity environment

*Strong understanding of VAT and broader corporate tax matters

*Commercially aware, with the ability to translate technical tax into business insight

*Confident engaging with senior stakeholders and influencing decision-making

*Experience across European jurisdictions or international tax exposure is advantageous



Why this role?
This is a rare opportunity to step into a standalone, high-visibility tax role where you will have genuine ownership and influence. You’ll work closely with senior leadership, contribute to strategic growth plans, and shape the tax agenda across a dynamic, expanding business.
If you’re looking for a role where you can combine technical expertise with commercial impact, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
