Interim Tax Projects Manager in London - Gleeson Recruitment Group

• Interim Tax Projects Manager
• 12 month FTC
• Mostly remote, occasional London meeting

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced tax professional to work alongside a Head of Tax, focusing on strategic oversight and cross-border tax matters across international operations.

This is a varied, project-focused position centred on risk management, process improvement, and providing technical guidance across a global footprint. You'll be working at group level on initiatives that require central coordination rather than day-to-day compliance activities.

Key Responsibilities

Tax Framework & Controls

• Develop and maintain comprehensive tax policy documentation, procedural guidelines, and accountability frameworks for the organisation
• Design and roll out a global tax compliance monitoring system for use by regional stakeholders

International Tax Advisory

• Conduct diagnostic reviews of overseas operations to identify and mitigate potential tax exposures
• Analyse debt structures across multiple jurisdictions, assessing deductibility limitations, capitalisation thresholds, accrued interest implications, and distribution reclassification risks
• Evaluate exposures relating to fixed place of business thresholds, cross-border payment obligations, and entity residency positioning
• Establish appropriate procedures and controls in territories where intervention is needed

Transaction Support

• Collaborate with finance and tax colleagues on post-acquisition integration activities, including resolution of significant tax issues arising from due diligence
• Provide technical input on corporate transactions and inter company pricing arrangements as required

What we are Looking For

Essential

• Strong technical foundation in corporate tax with solid understanding of international tax principles
• Proven ability to manage multiple work streams independently and see projects through to completion
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to explain complex matters clearly
• Self-motivated approach with strong ownership mentality

Desirable

• Broader awareness of indirect and employment tax would be useful but not a full requirement

What Makes This Role Different

This isn't a compliance-heavy position. The regional teams and external advisors handle routine filing obligations. Instead, you'll focus on providing centralised technical oversight, identifying cross-border considerations that benefit from group-level review, and implementing frameworks that strengthen our overall tax risk management.

At Gleeson Recruitment Group, we embrace inclusivity and welcome applicants of all backgrounds, experiences, and abilities. We are proud to be a disability confident employer.
