Interim Tax Senior Manager (3-Month Contract)
South UK / Midlands | Largely Remote | £500 per day outside IR35
We are supporting a UK-headquartered, international technology-led business with the appointment of an Interim Tax Senior Manager to support the tax function through a period of transition and change.
This is a hands-on interim role reporting directly to an experienced Tax Director. The successful candidate will act as a true number two, providing both business-as-usual cover and process-driven improvement across the tax function.
The Opportunity
The tax team is undergoing a reset, with a need for structure, clarity and momentum. This role would suit someone who enjoys stepping into an environment where things are not yet fully documented and taking ownership to bring order, challenge existing ways of working, and get things moving quickly.
There is a strong transformational element to the role.
