Employment Tax Senior Manager | Top 10 Firm
London | Hybrid
Salary: £80,000 – £95,000 + excellent benefits
Are you an experienced Employment Tax professional looking for a role with real influence, client ownership and a clear path for progression? We’re working with a leading Top 10 firm in London that is investing heavily in its Employment Tax offering and looking to hire a Senior Manager into a high-growth team.
This is a standout opportunity to join a team with strong inbound work from UK, US and European clients, covering employment tax, payroll, VAT and accounting, while building deeper advisory relationships.
With a clear leadership gap and succession planning in place, this role offers genuine long-term progression and the opportunity to shape the future of the team.
The Employment Tax Senior Manager Role
This is a client-facing, advisory-led position where you will act as a trusted adviser to a varied client base. You will work closely with senior stakeholders to support them through evolving employment tax requirements, including upcoming changes such as the move away from P11Ds towards payroll reporting.
While there is an element of compliance, the focus is on relationship management, advisory and strategic support, rather than pure compliance delivery.
