We are working with a UK Main Market Listed Company, who are a hardware and software provider, to support their hire in an Interim Head of Tax role.
Our client is looking to overhaul the tax function and is focused on returning to growth after just resetting its capital structure. The tax workstream now needs a step-change: embedding the tax aspects of the new capital structure, refreshing transfer pricing and lifting the SAO control environment to match a refinanced plc with concentrated institutional ownership.
The person will be brought in to redesign and rebuild the Group’s tax operating model on the back of the refinancing, deliver the major regulatory change programmes, and leave behind a fit-for-purpose function that can be run by a permanent Group Treasurer and Director of Tax and a smaller, upskilled in-house team.
This is going to be a full time, 12-month engagement, ideally starting as soon as soon as possible.
Transformation Mandate:
- Use the post-refinancing window to redesign the Group’s tax operating model end-to-end: strategy, processes, controls, technology and team.
- Deliver the major mandatory programmes - Multinational and Domestic Top-up Tax, refreshed transfer pricing and CbCR - to a sustainable, auditable steady state.
- Step-change the tax risk register and Audit Committee reporting to match a refinanced UK plc.
- Embed the tax aspects of the new capital structure (interest deductibility, hybrids, CIR, thin cap, withholding) into BAU treasury–tax operating rhythm.
- Leave behind documented playbooks, refreshed Group Tax Strategy, a credible permanent operating team, and a successor specification ready for hire.
Ideal Candidate:
- Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA) and/or Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA); UK tax qualification essential, with a strong international tax background.
- Career senior tax leader, typically c.10+ years’ experience, with a track record as Director of Tax / Group Head of Tax or Tax Transformation Lead in a UK listed or large multinational group.
