Description

Leonid is proud to be retained by a leading professional services firm to support the appointment of a Senior Manager into their R&D Tax team in Birmingham.

This is a high impact management role within a strong, well established R&D practice, offering genuine responsibility across project delivery, team leadership, and client engagement. The team operates within the Central & West region and supports a broad, high quality client base across both SME and larger, more complex businesses.

This opportunity will appeal to someone who enjoys being close to delivery, leading teams day to day, and acting as a senior point of contact for R&D engagements, rather than being purely delivery focused.

The role

Acting as a Senior Manager within the R&D Tax team, working closely with a Partner and Director
Leading project management and delivery schedules across a varied R&D client portfolio
Reviewing R&D computations and technical narratives
Leading and overseeing technical interviews
Managing, supporting, and developing a team of consultants
Taking ownership of client relationships and acting as a senior escalation point

Involvement in some preparation work alongside review responsibilities

Regular client liaison, including some in-person meetings

While there is longer term growth planned within the team, the immediate focus is on strong delivery, quality, and effective project management.

What they’re looking for

Proven experience delivering R&D Tax claims within an accountancy or consultancy environment
Strong technical capability, particularly around compliance and narrative quality
Confident project manager with experience leading teams and workflows
Comfortable building trusted relationships with clients and internal stakeholders
Exposure to software clients or a software-led R&D background is highly desirable
CTA, ACA, ACCA, CA or similar qualifications are beneficial but not essential

This role suits someone who wants a visible Senior Manager position within a high performing team, with the opportunity to make a real impact on delivery and standards.

Location & working pattern

Birmingham based role

Candidates must be based in, or comfortably commutable to, Birmingham and the surrounding Midlands area

Expectation of three days per week in the Birmingham office, with flexibility to visit other regional offices as required

What’s on offer

Competitive salary
A strong and comprehensive benefits package
Clear long-term progression within a respected and growing R&D Tax practice
A leadership role with real ownership and influence
