Title: Group Tax Manager (Part-Time – 3 Days Per Week)

Location: Central London – Hybrid (1-2 days WFH per week)

Salary: £80,000 – £110,000 (Pro-rata) + Bonus and Benefits

Reporting to: Group Finance Director

Our client is a premier global metals group with a significant international footprint and a reputation for excellence in their sector. Following a period of sustained growth, they are looking for a seasoned tax professional to join their Central London headquarters in a standalone, part-time capacity.

As the Group Tax Manager, you will be serving as the sole point of expertise for all tax-related matters. Your primary focus will be UK tax reporting and compliance, while managing the complexities of a global metals business, including transfer pricing and the implementation of BEPS Pillar 2.

Key Responsibilities

  • Ensure timely and accurate filing of UK tax returns (Corporation Tax, VAT, PAYE, Withholding Taxes, etc.)
  • Maintain strong knowledge of VAT technical areas including partial exemption, reverse charge procedures, import taxes, and customs requirements
  • Review and oversee Corporate Income Tax compliance across relevant international jurisdictions
  • Review tax provisions and disclosures for statutory accounts in line with IFRS and UK GAAP
  • Act as the primary point of contact for external advisors and tax authorities
  • Identify opportunities for tax efficiencies and process improvements across the group
  • Support the CFO on strategic initiatives including mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, and cross-border transactions
  • Monitor legislative changes and assess their impact on the business, including BEPS Pillar 2 and transfer pricing requirements
  • Ensure robust tax governance frameworks and internal controls are in place
  • Manage tax audits and enquiries from relevant authorities
  • Maintain up-to-date transfer pricing documentation and policies
  • Identify and mitigate tax risks across the group, including Permanent Establishment and cross-border transactions
  • Advise finance, legal, and operational teams on tax matters
  • Provide guidance on indirect taxes, employment taxes, and international transactions
  • Support budgeting and forecasting processes

Candidate Requirements

  • Professional Background: ACA, ACCA, or CTA qualified. Experience within a Big 4/Top 10 firm or a similar standalone role in-house is highly desirable.
  • Technical Expertise: A deep understanding of UK corporate tax and the current international tax landscape (specifically Transfer Pricing and Pillar 2).
  • Industry Experience: Previous experience within the metals, mining, or commodities sector is an advantage but not essential.
  • Autonomy: Proven ability to operate independently in a standalone role, managing competing priorities within a 3-day working week.
  • Communication: Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to translate complex tax legislation into actionable advice for non-tax stakeholders.
  • Analytical Mindset: Exceptional attention to detail and a hands‑on approach to problem‑solving.
