We are working with a dynamic and fast‑growing professional services firm seeking an experienced Corporate Tax Advisory leader to strengthen and shape its tax offering in either London or Birmingham. This is a key strategic hire at Partner level, offering the opportunity to take on a highly visible, market‑facing leadership role.

With a well‑established national footprint and a diverse client base spanning owner‑managed businesses, large corporates, and a strong presence in the sports and entertainment sectors, the firm is now looking to enhance its advisory capability and leadership depth within Corporate Tax.

• Act as a market‑facing Corporate Tax specialist, building and deepening client relationships
• Lead the development of the firm's Corporate Tax advisory offering
• Drive growth across key areas including international tax, M&A, and sector‑specific advisory (particularly entertainment)
• Support the transition of the team from a compliance‑focused model to a more advisory‑led approach
• Collaborate with senior leadership to build out service lines and future strategy
• Mentor and develop a growing team, fostering capability and a high‑performance culture
• Contribute to business development and origination, both regionally and nationally

Current Corporate Tax team includes Managers, newly qualified professionals, and junior staff. Advisory capability currently sits with a small number of specialists, presenting a significant growth opportunity.

• Strong Corporate Tax advisory experience (firm background flexible)
• A commercial, client‑focused mindset with the ability to operate as a visible market leader
• Broad technical expertise across corporate tax, with exposure to areas such as international tax, deals/M&A, and owner‑managed businesses
• A passion for developing teams and building capability
• Proven ability to build relationships and win work
• The gravitas and leadership skills required to operate at a senior level within a growing firm

This is a rare opportunity to step into a highly influential role within a firm that is actively investing in its Corporate Tax capability. You will play a central role in shaping the future direction of the offering, working with an ambitious leadership team and engaging with high‑quality, complex client work.
