📍 Hybrid (UK-based) | 💰 Up to £65,000 + Excellent Benefits | 🕓 Full-Time or 4+ Days/Week

Are you a commercially astute tax professional with a passion for private equity and complex M&A transactions? We’re recruiting on behalf of a fast-growing advisory firm with a strong national footprint, seeking a Corporate Tax Manager to join their high-performing Transaction Advisory Tax team.

This is an exciting opportunity to step into a visible, client-facing role advising mid-market private equity firms and acquisitive corporates on domestic and cross-border deals—ranging from £10m to over £1bn in value. The role spans the full transaction lifecycle: from structuring and due diligence through to post-deal optimisation.

🧩 The Role:

You’ll:

• Lead tax due diligence and structuring engagements for buy-side and sell-side transactions
• Collaborate closely with colleagues in financial due diligence and SPA advisory to deliver joined-up advice
• Be the go-to technical expert for clients across a wide range of sectors—from tech and gaming to healthcare, retail, and beyond
• Develop strong relationships with key stakeholders: private equity houses, law firms, and corporate investors
• Mentor junior team members while managing budgets, deadlines, and project delivery

📈 Why This Firm?

• Growing & Ambitious: The team has experienced consistent year-on-year growth with a strong forward pipeline
• Culture of Opportunity: Autonomy, responsibility, and rapid career progression are built into the culture
• Flexible Working: Hybrid model with flexibility to support a healthy work-life balance (including reduced hours or job share)
• Inclusion & Impact: A firm that values individuality, empowers contribution, and backs its people to make a difference—inside and outside the office

✅ What You’ll Bring:

• CA/ACCA/ACA/CTA or equivalent qualification
• Strong grounding in UK corporate tax. Experience in M&A or transaction tax is advantageous but not essential
• Exceptional communication and client-handling skills
• Confident reviewing legal documents, fund flows and structuring models
