In-House Indirect Tax Manager, Financial Services

£120,000 - £130,000 + bonus & benefits

City of London, hybrid working model

A quickly growing and UK-headed financial services business is further building in-house capabilities with their next key tax hire. Reporting directly to the Head of Tax with a dotted reporting line to senior finance stakeholder, the successful candidate will collaborate in a close-knit, energetic and entrepreneurial team.

The core area of responsibility for this role involves spearheading indirect tax affairs, but also supporting on the full breadth of wider tax issues. Specific areas will include:

• Management of the Group's indirect tax strategy, minimising leakage and mitigating risk while facilitating MTD
• Delivering on accurate indirect tax reporting to the group, managing the completion of VAT and IPT returns
• Negotiation and management of the Group's PESM
• Building effective compliance and reporting processes, procedures and controls for indirect taxes
• Advising on indirect tax queries from the business, ongoing business partnering with cross-functional teams and training internal stakeholders on indirect tax matters
• Managing indirect tax relations with HMRC, auditors, Big 4 advisors and industry bodies
• Supporting with corporation tax, Pillar II, transfer pricing, employment tax, SAO and tax governance matters

This is a small team environment working hand-in-glove with the Head of Tax, meaning the successful candidate will be expected to be flexible by switching between hands-on and higher-level/strategic approaches as necessary.

This makes a great opportunity for the indirect tax specialist at the mid-senior level who likely trained within a Big 4 FS VAT team but is now looking to progress in-house and broaden their tax technical offering further. We are interested to speak with candidates who demonstrate the following:

• ACA/CTA qualification
• Financial services experience required
• Extensive experience managing indirect compliance and advisory matters for partially exempt businesses, including liaising with HMRC
• Working familiarity with broader taxes helpful
• In-house/secondment experience a plus
• Technological proficiency and/or experience with tax technology tools and software
• Proven business partner with strong communication skills, able to present to senior stakeholders
