This is an exceptional opportunity for a Big 4 Senior Manager, Associate Director or an ambitious in-house Tax Manager to move into a broad, hands-on role covering UK and international tax affairs, with particular exposure to operations across Africa.

The Role

Reporting into a senior member of the Group Tax team, you will take ownership of UK tax matters whilst supporting wider international tax activities across a diverse global footprint. The position offers a unique blend of advisory, transfer pricing, governance, controversy, compliance oversight and strategic project work.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading UK tax matters and providing strategic tax support to the wider business.
• Advising on transfer pricing, tax governance, tax risk and tax controversy matters.
• Supporting financing, restructuring, M&A and joint venture projects.
• Partnering with finance, treasury, commercial and legal teams on transactional and operational issues.
• Managing relationships with external advisers and tax authorities.
• Supporting tax strategy and operations across multiple African jurisdictions.
• Reviewing tax reporting, forecasting and compliance activities.
• Driving improvements to tax processes, controls and governance frameworks.

About You

We are particularly interested in speaking with:

• Big 4 Senior Managers or Associate Directors from Energy, Natural Resources, Mining, Oil & Gas or International Corporate Tax teams.
• Strong Tax Managers looking for a step up into a broader international role.
• In-house professionals seeking increased responsibility and international exposure.
• Candidates with experience in corporate tax, international tax and transfer pricing.
• Qualified professionals (ACA, CTA, ACCA or equivalent).

Why This Opportunity?

This organisation offers something increasingly rare in the market: genuine breadth, visibility and autonomy.

You'll join a lean team where hierarchy is limited, decisions are made quickly and individuals are encouraged to operate beyond traditional role boundaries. The culture suits someone who enjoys ambiguity, takes ownership and thrives in an entrepreneurial environment rather than a highly structured corporate setting. This is a role for a resilient, commercially minded tax professional who wants to be part of the business rather than simply advise it.

Benefits include:

• Competitive base salary
• Annual bonus and long-term incentive/share scheme.
• Private medical cover for employee and family.
• Strong pension contribution.
• Hybrid working model (3 days in office).
• International travel and exposure to senior stakeholders globally.

If you're currently advising multinational clients in the extractives, energy or natural resources sector and are looking for a move into industry that offers genuine international exposure and commercial influence, this could be an outstanding next step in your career.
