Business Tax Senior Manager – Gatwick You may not be actively looking for your next move. But if you’re starting to think about what the next few years of your career could look like, this could be worth a conversation. We’re looking for a Senior Manager to join our growing Business Tax team in Gatwick.

It’s an exciting time to join us. We’re building an ambitious team around an excellent and growing client portfolio, with a real mix of entrepreneurial businesses, private capital-backed companies and multinational groups.
This is definitely not just a compliance role. You will have genuine ownership of client relationships, work directly with CFOs, finance teams and business owners, and get involved in interesting advisory work as our clients grow, invest, transact and expand internationally.
As the team continues to grow, there’s plenty of opportunity to make the role your own, whether that means developing a technical specialism, building your external profile, growing a network or helping shape the future of our Gatwick and wider Large Corporate & International Tax offering. What will you be doing?

There’s plenty of variety, but your role will broadly involve:

• Owning an excellent corporate tax portfolio and becoming a trusted adviser to your clients, rather than simply managing their annual compliance.
• Building strong relationships directly with CFOs, finance teams, business owners and other senior stakeholders.
• Leading and getting involved in a broad range of advisory projects, including transactions, restructuring, international expansion, financing, investment and tax risk.
• Working with private capital-backed and multinational businesses on increasingly complex UK and international tax matters.
• Developing your own technical interests, whether that’s international tax, private capital, Pillar Two, Corporate Interest Restriction, Cross-Border Financing, SAO, permanent establishments or something else.
• Spotting opportunities to help clients proactively, bringing in specialists from across Menzies where it makes sense.
• Working alongside our wider tax teams and international colleagues through HLB International on cross-border projects.
• Coaching and developing a talented team of more junior colleagues.
• Helping us continue to grow our Gatwick presence, including building relationships with lawyers, bankers, corporate finance advisers and other professionals.
• Building your own profile, both within Menzies and externally.

There’s a strong existing platform to work from, but also plenty of room to bring your own ideas and shape how we do things. We are looking for an experienced corporate tax professional who is ready to operate at Senior Manager level and wants a role with plenty of client exposure, autonomy and variety.

You will ideally:

• Be a qualified accountant and/or CTA-qualified tax adviser with strong corporate tax experience.
• Have a strong grounding in corporate tax compliance, tax accounting and advisory work.
• Be comfortable owning senior client relationships and turning technical issues into practical, commercial advice.
• Have experience working with corporate and entrepreneurial businesses. Exposure to larger corporate, multinational or private capital-backed groups would be a bonus.
• Enjoy getting involved in advisory work and solving interesting client problems.
• Be commercially minded and interested in developing relationships and identifying opportunities.
• Enjoy coaching and developing others.
• Have the ambition to continue building your own technical expertise, network and professional profile.
