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.
