Senior Manager Real Estate Tax (Manager step up)
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
