Job Description

Are you a VAT/indirect tax specialist looking to broaden your expertise across corporate and employment taxes? Join a purpose-driven organization committed to fighting climate change.
About the Role
We are seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Tax Manager to lead and support tax compliance, planning, and reporting across a fast-growing group of companies. This role is central to the Finance team and reports to the Head of Tax, with regular interaction across the wider Finance and Investment teams.
This opportunity combines hands-on responsibility for UK and international tax compliance with involvement in tax planning, M&A, and advisory projects. You’ll work with operational entities, SPVs, holding companies, and investment funds in a dynamic and rapidly expanding global business.
Key Responsibilities
• Prepare, review, and submit UK VAT returns; oversee SDLT returns and coordinate international VAT submissions (e.g., Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Poland).
• Manage and coordinate overseas tax compliance with internal teams and external advisors.
• Assist with group-wide transfer pricing policy implementation and documentation.
• Lead or support responses to UK and overseas tax audits.
• Provide tax advice to business stakeholders and coordinate with external advisors.
• Maintain compliance with various UK tax obligations (e.g., CIR, Payments on Account, SSE).
• Act as main point of contact for HMRC on VAT groupings and other compliance matters.
• Support payroll tax matters in collaboration with the People team.

What We’re Looking For
• Degree educated with a recognized tax or accounting qualification (e.g., ACA, ACCA, CTA, ATT, CIMA).
• Demonstrable experience in UK corporate tax and VAT, either in-house or within professional services.
• Strong technical knowledge of UK VAT; international VAT experience is a plus.
• Effective communicator with the ability to explain tax issues to non-specialist stakeholders.
• Organized and adaptable, capable of handling multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment.
• Interest in renewable energy or infrastructure investments is desirable but not essential.
• Familiarity with tax compliance software and automation tools is beneficial.
