What you'll do:

As a Tax Compliance and Reporting Manager you will play a pivotal role in ensuring that all aspects of group tax compliance are managed efficiently across multiple jurisdictions. Your day-to-day activities will involve overseeing outsourced processes for corporation tax returns as well as capital allowances and R&D claims. You will be responsible for reviewing complex disclosures prepared by third parties while also preparing certain statutory disclosures yourself. Your remit extends to managing reconciliations of current and deferred taxes, monitoring effective tax rates for reporting purposes, handling communications with HMRC and external auditors with tact and diplomacy, as well as supporting senior management through timely reporting on key metrics. You will also coordinate with financial controllers internationally on Pillar 2 requirements while contributing your expertise during reorganisations or acquisitions. Your ability to manage multiple priorities within a matrixed environment will be essential as you support both routine operations and special projects.

• Oversee all group tax compliance and reporting obligations for the UK, EMEA, and APAC regions, ensuring accuracy and timeliness in all submissions.
• Manage the outsourced corporation tax returns submission process, including thorough review of all returns prepared by third-party providers.
• Supervise third-party providers responsible for preparing tax disclosures and notes for EMEA and APAC entities, occasionally preparing UK statutory account disclosures yourself.
• Coordinate the outsourced UK Capital Allowance and R&D Tax Credit claims processes, ensuring all claims are accurate and compliant with current regulations.
• Prepare detailed reconciliations of current and deferred tax balances to support robust financial reporting.
• Lead the group Pillar 2 reporting requirements by collaborating closely with EMEA and APAC financial controllers to ensure compliance with evolving standards.
• Liaise effectively with HMRC, external auditors, advisors, and management at all levels both in the UK and overseas, demonstrating excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Monitor Effective Tax Rates for the group, providing regular reports to the US Tax team including substantiation of proof of tax and deferred tax positions.
• Take responsibility for UK GPA filings, group deductions allowance submissions, Senior Accounting Officer certifications, CCO certifications, and related team processes.
• Manage CT payments processes including calculations as required, assess tax impacts of reorganisations or acquisitions for a complex group structure, oversee withholding tax reporting and reclaims, manage shared service centre resources in India, participate in partnership taxation matters, and contribute to ad hoc projects as needed.

What you bring:

Your proven background in managing tax compliance responsibilities within large organisations will enable you to excel as a Tax Compliance and Reporting Manager. You bring strong technical qualifications alongside advanced analytical skills that allow you to interpret intricate regulations confidently. Your experience working with auditors has honed your ability to communicate clearly while maintaining discretion. You are highly organised—capable of balancing competing priorities across different jurisdictions—and have demonstrated adaptability when collaborating with cross-functional teams. Your understanding of financial services environments gives you valuable context for navigating regulatory challenges. Above all else, your commitment to personal development ensures that you remain up-to-date with best practices while fostering positive relationships throughout the business.

• Professional qualification such as ACA, ACCA, CTA or ATT is essential for this role due to its technical demands.
• Extensive experience in tax reporting within large organisations is required to navigate complex compliance environments.
• Advanced Excel skills are necessary for preparing reconciliations and analysing data accurately.
• Experience dealing with auditors is important; you must demonstrate tact, diplomacy, discretion, and strong interpersonal skills when engaging stakeholders.

• Practical knowledge of UK Hybrid rules would be beneficial but not essential; willingness to learn is valued.
• Financial services sector experience (banking, brokerages or private equity) is advantageous but not mandatory.
• Ability to analyse complex problems thoughtfully and present clear recommendations is expected.
• Adaptability is crucial; you should thrive in a collaborative matrix environment where teamwork is key.
