International Tax Manager/ Senior Manager | Manchester - Hybrid | £85,000 - £90,000 + £4,000 Car Allowance + Benefits

Are you looking for a genuinely unique opportunity to build a tax function from the ground up?

We are working with a growing, international software business to recruit its first dedicated tax hire. This is a newly created and highly visible role offering the opportunity to take ownership of tax, improve and modernise existing processes, and build out a tax team as the business continues to grow.

With a significant UK presence and entities across multiple international jurisdictions, this role offers broad exposure across UK and international tax, alongside the opportunity to get involved in areas including tax transformation, acquisitions, R&D, Transfer Pricing and Pillar 2.

The Opportunity:

This isn't a role where you'll be stepping into an established tax function and simply taking over existing processes. You'll have the opportunity to understand what is currently in place, identify areas for improvement and help shape what the future tax function looks like.

As the first tax person coming into the business, you will work closely with senior finance stakeholders and have real scope to build a team around you over time.

Key Areas of Responsibility:

• Taking ownership of the tax function and developing more robust processes and controls.
• Leading UK Tax matters while supporting wider international tax requirements.
• Reviewing and improving existing tax processes, with a focus on digitalisation and efficiency.
• Supporting Tax considerations across a growing international group.
• Exposure to areas including R&D, Transfer Pricing, Pillar 2 and Employment Taxes.
• Supporting tax aspects of acquisitions, integrations and wider business activity.
• Working closely with senior Finance stakeholders across the business.
• Identifying Tax risks and opportunities across the group.
• Helping shape the future structure and development of the tax function.

About You:

We're looking for someone who combines strong UK tax knowledge with international exposure and is comfortable working in a growing and evolving environment.

You'll ideally have experience in some of the following:

• UK Corporation Tax
• Tax transformation and process improvement.
• Working across multiple jurisdictions.
• Building or developing a Tax function.

Most importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys autonomy, is comfortable getting stuck into a broad range of tax matters and is excited by the opportunity to build something from the ground up.

Why Apply?

• Be the first dedicated Tax hire in the business.
• Genuine opportunity to build and grow a tax team around you.
• Highly visible role with exposure to senior leadership.
• Broad UK and international tax exposure.
• Opportunity to improve, modernise and shape the tax function.
• Exposure to an acquisitive and growing international business.
• Excellent long-term progression potential.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious Tax Manager, Senior Tax Manager looking for a role with genuine ownership, autonomy and the chance to make a lasting impact.
