About the Job
The Tax and Treasury Manager will be responsible for the University's tax compliance, treasury management, and advisory functions.
The post holder will ensure adherence to UK and international tax legislation and work closely with external tax advisors. As the key point of contact, you will provide comprehensive VAT, corporation tax and other tax advice and guidance within the Finance Directorate and the wider university community. You will also develop the university's tax manual, training resources, and maintain tax‑related content on the finance intranet. Additionally, you will develop and implement tax‑efficient practices across the university and its subsidiaries.
Moreover, you will forecast and monitor the university's cash flow, manage day‑to‑day bank accounts, and handle cash management. You will report cash balances to the Finance Directorate and ensure minimal foreign‑exchange risk.
Reporting to the Head of Financial Accounts & Compliance, you will be a key member of the Financial Accounts team, with one direct report. The team handles financial reporting, capital reporting, internal controls, taxes (VAT and corporation tax), treasury, income, studentships, receivables, and payables.
About You
You will interpret local and international tax legislation, assess its impact, share findings with senior management, and ensure timely implementation of statutory changes.
You will be an experienced CCAB‑qualified accountant or CTA tax professional, highly motivated, with deep tax knowledge in a large complex organisation. You must work effectively under significant pressure, meet tight deadlines, and act independently without detailed supervision. Excellent communication, interpersonal, and analytical skills are required, along with the ability to build strong working relationships with colleagues and external stakeholders.
Benefits Package
We offer a competitive salary, dependent on experience, and a range of benefits.
Equal Opportunities
As an inclusive, equal‑opportunities employer, our Stonewall membership and Athena Swan awards reflect our dedication to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. We are committed to closing the diversity pay gap.
