About the Role
This is an opportunity to play a meaningful role in building a modern, conflict-free tax advisory firm – shaping workflows and working directly with senior leaders and high-profile clients in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment. We are looking for an Employment Tax Senior Manager. This is a broad, client-facing role covering employment tax advisory and compliance, with meaningful exposure to transactions and to the wider tax practice.
Responsibilities
- Act as the technical lead for employment tax across a portfolio of client engagements, providing high-quality, practical advice.
- Advise large and multinational clients on UK employment tax matters, including PAYE, NIC, benefits and expenses, and termination payments.
- Advise on internationally mobile employees and overseas working risks, including the related tax and social security implications.
- Advise on IR35 / off-payroll working risk, including status determinations and status determination statements (SDS), contractor and supply chain governance, and the management of HMRC enquiries, risk mitigation, and remediation.
- Contribute to employment tax diligence on buy-side and sell-side transactions, identifying, assessing, and quantifying risks and exposures (IR35 and contractor engagement, overseas working, benefits, PAYE, and NIC) and translating findings into clear commercial points for deal teams and clients.
- Work alongside the wider transactions team on share purchase agreement (SPA) and warranty / indemnity discussions, and on post-deal integration and remediation.
- Work closely with colleagues in corporate tax, international tax, private client services, and other specialisms to deliver joined-up advice to clients.
- Run and grow a portfolio of client relationships, identifying opportunities, and expanding existing accounts.
- Manage engagement economics across your portfolio, including budgets, recovery rates, and WIP/billing recommendations.
- Collaborate with colleagues across jurisdictions within the WTS Global network on cross-border projects.
- Generate new opportunities and support proposals and pitches.
- Champion technology-enabled ways of working, using AI and digital tools to enhance delivery.
- Build strong internal relationships and act as a collaborative, influential voice within the firm.
Requirements
- CTA, ACA, ACCA, CA or equivalent professional qualification – or qualified by experience.
- Substantial UK employment tax experience, gained in practice or industry.
- Strong technical knowledge of PAYE, NIC, benefits, IR35 / off-payroll working, and the tax treatment of internationally mobile employees.
- Practical experience of IR35 status assessments, contractor governance, and managing related HMRC enquiries.
- Exposure to transactions, with a good understanding of how employment tax risks, including IR35 and contractor exposures, are identified, diligenced and reported, even if transactions have not been your main focus.
- Commercial mindset with the ability to translate complex technical issues into clear, practical advice.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Experience managing engagement economics, client relationships, and developing Managers and junior team members.
- A collaborative, influential mindset aligned with our culture.
