• Leading the annual R&D tax credit claim
• Acting as the main point of contact with HMRC, including enquiries and strategic dealings
• Maintaining the tax risk register and supporting the external audit of tax
• Briefing senior finance leaders on legislative change and leading its implementation

What you'll bring

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified; CTA or ATT would be a bonus
• Broad UK tax experience across both direct and indirect taxes
• Exposure to excise duties, levies or customs is a real advantage
• Confidence dealing with HMRC and explaining tax clearly to non-specialists
• Organised, accurate and comfortable working to statutory deadlines
• Happy to be the tax lead in the business, from detailed compliance through to advice

Industry or practice backgrounds considered, including people ready to make their first move into industry.
