This is a newly created, in-house role offering exposure to a broad range of UK and international tax responsibilities across a large, dynamic group structure. You’ll work closely with the Head of Tax and wider finance team, taking ownership of compliance, reporting, governance, and advisory support, with responsibility for managing and developing a small internal tax team.

Flexible working is available, however regular travel to the head office in Norfolk (with occasional overnight stays) will be expected.

• Corporate Tax Compliance: Prepare and submit UK corporation tax returns across approximately 50 entities; manage group relief, capital allowance claims, and ensure all statutory obligations are met.
• VAT Compliance: Oversee the preparation, review, and submission of UK VAT returns; monitor the VAT position across the group, ensuring correct treatment and advising on complex transactions.
• Tax Reporting & Disclosures: Deliver accurate tax provisions and disclosures under IFRS/FRS101 for quarterly and year-end financial reporting; prepare quarterly instalment calculations and reconciliations.
• International & Cross-Border Reporting: Support with global tax compliance including Country-by-Country Reporting and Withholding Tax returns; assist with reviewing and maintaining transfer pricing documentation.
• Governance & Risk Management: Support the Head of Tax in developing and maintaining tax strategy, policy, and controls; conduct risk assessments and identify areas for process improvement and automation.
• Team Leadership: Manage and mentor a small tax team; provide technical guidance and training, and act as a key point of support for the wider finance function on tax-related queries.
• Advisory & Project Work: Work on group-wide projects including R&D claims, acquisitions, business restructuring, and system implementations; act as a tax business partner across functions including finance, legal, and operations.

Skills & Experience Required:

• Strong UK tax experience from either practice or industry
• Proven ability to manage tax compliance and reporting in a complex group structure
• Excellent Excel skills and comfort working with large datasets
• Strong communicator, confident engaging with stakeholders at all levels
