Interim Senior Tax Manager

Title: Interim Senior Tax Manager

Description: Interim Senior Tax Consultant, Birmingham (Largely Remote) A major international group with a complex, multi-entity UK structure is seeking an Interim Senior Tax Consultant to lead an independent, group-wide review of all taxes across its UK operations. This is a senior interim mandate based in the Midlands, largely remote with some presence in Birmingham preferred, suited to a tax professional who can take an objective view of an entire tax landscape and recommend a clearer way forward.

The Role: This is not a business-as-usual compliance role. It is a strategic, diagnostic and advisory assignment. Tax matters across the UK group are currently handled by Group Finance alongside external advisers, and the purpose of this Interim Senior Tax Consultant mandate is to provide a fresh, senior-level assessment of that approach, test its structural efficiency and risk exposure, and advise on the changes needed to strengthen compliance, governance and overall tax positioning. You will need genuine technical depth and the credibility to challenge existing processes where it is warranted.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct a full review of corporate tax, VAT and other relevant taxes across all UK entities
• Assess the current operating model, including how Group Finance and external advisers interact
• Identify risks, inefficiencies and structural gaps in the existing arrangements
• Review the legal and operational structure from a tax perspective and recommend restructuring, simplification or optimisation where appropriate
• Advise on governance, controls and documentation improvements
• Review exposure relating to Pillar 2 and wider international tax developments
• Work closely with senior finance leadership and group stakeholders as an independent technical adviser

What You Will Deliver:

• A clear, objective picture of the group's full UK tax position and where it can be strengthened
• Practical, commercially grounded recommendations on structure, governance and approach
• A prioritised roadmap of actions, with implementation considerations the leadership team can act on
• Confidence that the group's tax approach is robust, well documented and aligned with regulatory change

What We Are Looking For:

• You are a senior tax professional with significant experience reviewing and advising on tax structures within large, multi-entity groups.
• You combine strong technical knowledge with the commercial judgement to translate complex legislation into clear business recommendations.
• Strong technical grounding across corporate tax and VAT, with exposure to international frameworks such as Pillar 2
• A track record of operating at senior level and constructively challenging existing models
• Experience working alongside both external advisers and internal finance teams
• A background gained in industry, Big 4 or top-tier advisory
• A relevant qualification such as CTA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent

What The Job Offers:

• Competitive day rate
• Largely remote working, with occasional time in Birmingham
• A high-impact, high-visibility interim assignment within a complex international group
• The autonomy to shape the findings and influence senior decision making
