What you'll do:

As Senior Manager Employment Taxes, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future direction of the employment taxes service line. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve managing high-value advisory projects for a varied client base ranging from entrepreneurs to multinational groups. You will be trusted to handle complex queries relating to UK Employment Taxes, oversee due diligence processes during corporate transactions, provide technical leadership on CIS matters, and ensure all client communications are accurate and insightful. Your ability to conduct thorough research into legislative developments will keep both colleagues and clients informed about practical implications. In addition to delivering outstanding client service, you will actively participate in business development initiatives—helping raise the profile of the team—and nurture junior talent through structured mentoring. Success in this role means not only meeting technical challenges but also fostering an environment where collaboration thrives and everyone feels supported in their professional journey.

• Lead and deliver on a diverse portfolio of Employment Tax advisory and compliance projects, ensuring all outputs meet the highest technical standards expected by clients.
• Act as a senior point of contact for clients on complex UK Employment Taxes matters, including mobility issues and National Minimum Wage considerations.
• Oversee due diligence reviews related to employment taxes for corporate transactions, providing expert guidance throughout the process.

To excel as Senior Manager Employment Taxes, your background should include substantial hands-on experience navigating complex UK Employment Taxes scenarios within either practice or industry settings. Your expertise enables you to manage intricate compliance cycles confidently while offering thoughtful advice on challenging issues such as mobility or National Minimum Wage. You bring finely honed analytical skills that allow you to interpret legislation accurately and communicate findings clearly through detailed reports. Your interpersonal strengths mean you build lasting connections with both clients and colleagues—mentoring junior staff members with empathy while maintaining robust stakeholder relationships at all levels. Commercially astute yet always considerate of individual needs, you consistently deliver solutions that reflect both regulatory requirements and each client’s broader objectives. Above all else, your enthusiasm for sharing knowledge helps foster an inclusive culture where everyone feels empowered to contribute their best.

• Outstanding analytical abilities with meticulous attention to detail underpinning all aspects of your work.
• Strong commercial awareness allowing you to offer pragmatic solutions tailored to each client’s unique circumstances.
