Job description

Head of Tax, UK London or Midlands | £150,000 – £200,000 + Package

This European Firm is seeking a dynamic, commercially driven Head of Tax to build and lead a specialist direct tax and transaction advisory function within its growing UK business. This is a rare opportunity to shape a new strategic service line within a truly collaborative, globally minded firm.

The Firm

Operating from over 100 offices across 50 countries, the firm employs c.5,000 professionals worldwide. The growing UK business currently has 180+ staff across audit, tax, legal and transaction services. The client base includes internationally owned UK subsidiaries, private equity funds and portfolio companies, and a growing number of UK OMB’s which is a key area of growth.

This is not a typical advisory firm. They deliver integrated, cross-border solutions through a tightly connected network of professionals. Their culture values collaboration, entrepreneurial thinking, and practical advice that creates real impact and genuine solutions for their clients.

The Opportunity

The next strategic hire calls for investment in a UK-based Tax Advisory leader to develop and grow a dedicated team focused on:

• Direct tax structuring & planning
• Tax due diligence
• M&A & SPA advisory
• Management/Shareholder Incentives
• R&D reliefs & innovation incentives
• Transaction support in close collaboration with Deals and Legal teams

You will have immediate access to an existing base of work (including mandates currently outsourced) and a strong internal referral network. Expect to lead on deals typically between £1m to £45m, and tap into a portfolio with £500k+ of near-term opportunity.

What will you bring?

• Senior UK tax specialist with strong technical and commercial skills
• Significant experience in M&A tax, structuring, and advisory (hands on!)
• Ability to win trust and confidence with UK and internationally based stakeholders
• Someone proactive, hands-on, and confident building a function from the ground up (with support of course!)
• Experience engaging directly with C-Suite and key decision-makers
• A clear communicator who enjoys offering real-world, pragmatic advice (rather than a woolly ‘catch all’ that only seeks to protect the advisor).
• Leadership mindset with an eye on long-term growth and team development

What’s On Offer

• Competitive salary: £150,000 – £200,000 (flexible depending on experience, contacts, and business case)
• Fixed Y1 bonus to de-risk transition, plus variable performance bonus
• Realistic path to equity partnership for high performers
• Autonomy to shape and grow your team
• Supportive, low-politics environment with global collaboration

Ready to build something meaningful and be rewarded for it?

The Firm is committed to long-term investment in this role — if you’re ready to lead, they’re ready to back and reward you.
