Job description

Tax Manager - Quality & Technical

Birmingham | Top15 Firm | Non-Client Facing | Competitive Salary + Benefits

Not every tax career has to revolve around client deadlines.

If you’ve built your expertise in corporate or mixed tax and now want to focus on technical depth, internal influence, and raising the standard of tax work across a national firm - this role was designed for you.

This is a rare opportunity to join a growing technical tax and risk team, operating at the heart of a UK-wide accountancy and advisory practice. No billing targets, no time pressures - just the space to focus on quality, tax governance, and the development of others.

Why it stands out:

• Non-client facing – purely technical, strategic, and internal
• Firm-wide influence – support national tax operations, training, and risk management
• Modern culture – remote/hybrid working, no red tape
• Technical variety – work across corporate, mixed, and advisory project reviews

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting the firm’s Tax Risk Committee on advisory reviews, tax complaints, and governance queries
• Collaborating with compliance and legal to maintain internal tax risk procedures
• Preparing and sharing technical updates across the business
• Liaising with subject specialists and marketing to ensure consistent technical messaging
• Helping to design and deliver national tax training programmes
• Maintaining the firm’s Tax Procedures Manual and other internal quality resources

What you’ll bring:

• CTA, ACA, ACCA or CA qualified
• Strong technical grounding in UK tax – corporate or mixed ideally
• Experience in a technical, compliance, or internal tax training role
• Excellent research, writing, and communication skills
• A calm, analytical approach and passion for accuracy
• Comfortable working behind the scenes to improve the way others deliver tax

What’s on offer:

• Competitive salary and flexible benefits
• Remote/hybrid working model
• 25 days holiday + birthday off + buy/sell scheme
• Private medical insurance and life assurance
• Paid professional subscriptions
• Genuine influence across the wider tax function
• A people-first, detail-focused culture that values quality over speed

If you want to move away from fee pressure and into a role that lets you shape how tax is delivered across a national firm - this is the opportunity to do it.
