Head of Tax & Treasury

We are partnering with a large, market‑leading technology business that has recently transitioned from PLC to Private Equity ownership. Backed by a highly regarded PE sponsor, the business is entering a new phase of ambitious growth, transformation, and value creation.

As part of this next chapter, the company is seeking an experienced Head of Tax & Treasury to take ownership of group tax strategy while overseeing treasury activities. This is a senior, high‑impact role offering significant exposure to executive leadership and PE stakeholders.

While a blend of tax and treasury experience is desirable, the role is deliberately weighted towards tax, making it ideal for a senior tax professional looking to broaden or leverage their treasury exposure in a dynamic, fast‑growing environment.

Key Responsibilities:

Tax:

Lead and own the group's UK and international tax strategy across corporate tax, VAT, employment taxes, and transfer pricing
Ensure robust tax governance, compliance, and risk management in a PE-backed environment
Act as the principal adviser to the Board, CFO, and PE sponsor on all tax matters, including structuring, M&A, and post-deal integration
Manage relationships with HMRC and external advisers
Drive tax efficiency initiatives aligned with growth plans and value creation objectives

Treasury:

Oversee group treasury operations, including cash management, forecasting, and liquidity planning
Support financing structures and covenant compliance, working closely with lenders and advisors
Contribute to capital structure optimisation and funding strategies as the business grows

Leadership & Stakeholder Management:

Partner closely with Finance, Legal, and Commercial leaders across the group
Operate effectively in a PE-backed governance model, supporting reporting and decision-making at pace

Candidate Requirements:

Strong tax background gained in a large corporate, professional services firm, or Big 4 / Top 10 advisory environment
Demonstrable experience leading complex tax matters in the UK, with exposure to international considerations
Working knowledge of treasury principles and operations; deep treasury specialism beneficial but not essential
Experience operating in or alongside PE-backed businesses and/or PLC environments is highly attractive (not essential)
Commercial, pragmatic, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, change-oriented setting
Confident senior stakeholder manager, able to influence at Board and investor level
Professional qualification (CTA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent) strongly preferred

What's on Offer:

Senior leadership role in a high-growth, PE-backed market leader
Significant autonomy and influence over tax strategy and broader financial decision-making
Flexible working model: fully remote working available with an option to work in the London office
Competitive salary, executive-level bonus, and long-term incentive potential
The opportunity to shape and scale a best-in-class tax function during a period of transformation
