The successful candidate will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or equivalent) with strong experience in UK corporate tax within a large or complex organisation. A CTA qualification would be advantageous but is not essential. You will bring strong knowledge of UK tax compliance and reporting, ideally within a group structure. Experience working within the property sector or advising real estate clients would be beneficial but is not a requirement. This role requires someone who is able to navigate complex tax matters while communicating clearly with non-tax stakeholders. You will be analytical, detail-oriented and comfortable operating in a hands-on capacity, while also bringing a commercial mindset and the ability to provide practical tax advice to the wider business. You will be a self-motivated and collaborative professional, capable of managing multiple priorities while maintaining high standards of technical accuracy and governance.

This is an excellent opportunity to take ownership of the tax function within a large and sophisticated real estate group, working closely with senior leadership and external advisors across a wide range of tax matters.
