Indirect Tax Assistant Manager

Indirect Tax Assistant Manager

I'm currently working with a leading international law firm that is looking to appoint an Indirect Tax Assistant Manager to join its in-house tax team in London or Chelmsford. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced VAT professional who enjoys combining technical advisory work with compliance, process improvement and working across a global business.

This role offers broad international exposure, with responsibility for indirect tax matters across multiple jurisdictions while partnering with finance teams and external advisers to ensure compliance and drive best practice.

The Role

As an Indirect Tax Assistant Manager, you'll become the go-to contact for VAT and indirect tax matters across the organisation. You'll support both finance and operational teams, ensuring compliance obligations are met while helping to improve processes and financial controls.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing global VAT compliance across the UK and a number of international jurisdictions, ensuring all statutory obligations are completed accurately and on time.
• Providing practical advice on UK and international VAT matters to stakeholders across the business.
• Working closely with overseas finance teams and external advisers to support indirect tax compliance requirements.
• Developing, implementing and maintaining VAT policies, procedures and guidance to support finance and operational teams.
• Collaborating with finance and systems teams to improve VAT accuracy and strengthen controls across billing and finance platforms.
• Supporting ongoing process improvements to enhance efficiency, compliance and reporting across the indirect tax function.

About You

To be considered for this opportunity, you'll ideally have:

• Strong experience managing UK VAT compliance, including the preparation and review of statutory VAT returns.
• Experience providing advice on UK and international VAT matters, ideally within a legal or professional services environment.
• CTA, ATT, ACA or ACCA qualification, or be qualified through relevant experience.
• Excellent attention to detail with strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and confidence using other Microsoft Office applications.
• Experience with legal finance systems such as Elite 3E would be advantageous, although this isn't essential.

What's on Offer

This is an excellent opportunity to join a collaborative international tax team where you'll gain exposure to complex global VAT matters while helping shape processes and improve financial controls across the business. You'll work alongside experienced professionals in a supportive environment that encourages ongoing development and long-term career progression in a stunning office in either London or Chelmsford
