Citadel Source are delighted to be supporting a successful business in the Bristol area to recruit a commercially minded Tax Manager. This is a newly created role offering broad exposure across local and global tax, with the chance to influence strategy, drive best practice, and support growth.

The role

Reporting directly to senior Finance leadership, you'll take ownership of the tax function and act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders across the business.

• Lead UK corporation tax compliance and tax reporting
• Manage VAT, withholding tax and transfer pricing requirements
• Support international growth, market entry, and tax risk management
• Manage relationships with external tax advisors
• Embed efficient tax processes within finance systems and reporting
• Provide practical tax guidance across finance and operational teams
• Drive continuous improvement through technology and automation

What the client is looking for:

• CTA, ACA or ACCA qualified
• Strong UK corporate tax knowledge
• Commercially aware with excellent stakeholder management skills
• Interested in developing expertise across international tax, VAT, transfer pricing and customs
• Comfortable turning technical advice into practical business solutions
• Enthusiastic about technology and process improvement

What the client has to offer

• Newly created role with genuine autonomy
• Direct exposure to senior leadership and Board-level discussions
• Broad, commercially focused tax position
• Opportunity to build and shape the tax function
• Supportive and collaborative culture
• Exciting international growth journey ahead

We would be happy to consider candidates from practice or industry, with salary dependent on background and experience that you can bring to the role.
