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
