Senior Manager – Deal Advisory Tax

UK | Hybrid | Permanent

An excellent opportunity has arisen to join a leading Deal Advisory Tax practice within a major professional services firm at Senior Manager level, working within its highly regarded M&A / Deals advisory group.

This team advises a broad range of private equity houses, credit funds, and institutional investors across the full transaction lifecycle, including acquisitions, disposals, refinancing, restructuring, and listing support. The work is fast-paced, high-profile, and often cross-border, involving complex UK and international tax considerations.

In this role, you will work closely with Partners and Directors on complex transactions, delivering high-quality technical and commercial tax advice. You will play a key role in analysing and interpreting transaction documentation, identifying tax issues, and translating findings into clear, commercially focused recommendations for clients.

You will also contribute to proposals and pitch activity, helping to win new business, while developing and maintaining strong relationships with clients, legal advisers, and internal stakeholders. A key part of the role involves collaboration across UK and international tax specialists, ensuring consistent and robust delivery on complex, multi-jurisdictional deals.

In addition, you will take responsibility for coaching and developing junior team members, supporting their technical growth and contributing to a high-performance team culture.

The successful candidate will be CTA or ACA/CA qualified (or equivalent), with strong UK corporate tax experience and a clear interest in transactions and deal advisory work. You will bring strong analytical ability, commercial judgement, and confidence operating in a client-facing, deal-led environment.

This is a senior leadership opportunity for an experienced tax professional looking to step further into complex transactions, team leadership, and business development within a market-leading advisory practice.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your deal advisory tax career, we’d welcome your application for a confidential exploratory conversation with our practice specialists.
