Senior Manager – Private Business Tax – Real Estate (Big 4)

Open to strong Managers ready to step up

Can be based out of London & South Regional offices (Southampton, Reading, Cambridge etc)

Join a high‑performing, people‑centred Private Business Tax team focused on Real Estate clients. This is a rare opportunity to step into a Senior Manager role with genuine influence, strong leadership backing, and a clear route to Director.

Why this role stands out

  • Exceptional progression – a visible gap at Manager/Senior Manager level means fast‑track development for the right person.
  • Open to step‑ups – ideal for an experienced Manager ready to move into SM with full support.
  • Friendly, modern, AI‑enabled team – collaborative culture, forward‑thinking approach, and strong partner engagement.
  • Work/life balance – a team known for realistic hours, flexibility, and sustainable workloads.
  • Varied, interesting portfolio – private business clients, corporate restructuring, vendor DD, tax structuring (M&A and non‑M&A related), compliance oversight (relationship management only), and cross‑specialism exposure (SDLT, VAT, International).
  • Not Deals – but you’ll work closely with them, giving you breadth without the Deals lifestyle.

What you’ll be doing

  • Leading a diverse portfolio across restructuring, vendor due diligence, and private business tax advisory.
  • Managing and developing teams, filling a crucial capability gap in the leadership pipeline.
  • Working with multiple specialists across the firm to deliver joined‑up solutions.
  • Driving client relationships, spotting opportunities, and supporting growth.
  • Balancing advisory and compliance in a role with genuine variety.

Who this suits

  • A strong Manager ready for a supported step into Senior Manager, or an existing SM seeking better balance and progression.
  • Backgrounds that work well include:
  • Deals tax (if seeking a more balanced lifestyle)
  • Private client / OMB tax
  • Corporate tax with restructuring exposure
  • Mid‑tier firm
  • Someone who enjoys project management, relationship building, and variety.

Process: 2 stages (technical and behavioural) with full support and guidance on the preparation
