We are partnering with a large, market‑leading technology business that has recently transitioned from PLC to Private Equity ownership. Backed by a highly regarded PE sponsor, the business is entering a new phase of ambitious growth, transformation, and value creation.
As part of this next chapter, the company is seeking an experienced Head of Tax & Treasury to take ownership of group tax strategy while overseeing treasury activities. This is a senior, high‑impact role offering significant exposure to executive leadership and PE stakeholders.
While a blend of tax and treasury experience is desirable, the role is deliberately weighted towards tax, making it ideal for a senior tax professional looking to broaden or leverage their treasury exposure in a dynamic, fast‑growing environment.
Key Responsibilities:
Tax:
* Lead and own the group's UK and international tax strategy across corporate tax, VAT, employment taxes, and transfer pricing
* Ensure robust tax governance, compliance, and risk management in a PE-backed environment
* Act as the principal adviser to the Board, CFO, and PE sponsor on all tax matters, including structuring, M&A, and post-deal integration
* Manage relationships with HMRC and external advisers
* Drive tax efficiency initiatives aligned with growth plans and value creation objectives
Treasury:
* Oversee group treasury operations, including cash management, forecasting, and liquidity planning
* Support financing structures and covenant compliance, working closely with lenders and advisors
* Contribute to capital structure optimisation and funding strategies as the business grows
Leadership & Stakeholder Management:
* Partner closely with Finance, Legal, and Commercial leaders across the group
* Operate effectively in a PE-backed governance model, supporting reporting and decision-making at pace
Candidate Requirements:
* Strong tax background gained in a large corporate, professional services firm, or Big 4 / Top 10 advisory environment
* Demonstrable experience leading complex tax matters in the UK, with exposure to international considerations
* Working knowledge of treasury principles and operations; deep treasury specialism beneficial but not essential
* Experience operating in or alongside PE-backed businesses and/or PLC environments is highly attractive (not essential)
* Commercial, pragmatic, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, change-oriented setting
* Confident senior stakeholder manager, able to influence at Board and investor level
* Professional qualification (CTA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent) strongly preferred
What's on Offer:
* Senior leadership role in a high-growth, PE-backed market leader
* Significant autonomy and influence over tax strategy and broader financial decision-making
* Flexible working model: fully remote working available with an option to work in the London office
* Competitive salary, executive-level bonus, and long-term incentive potential
* The opportunity to shape and scale a best-in-class tax function during a period of transformation
