Tax Manager – Private Markets (Advisory & Compliance) – IN HOUSE

A major UK-based financial services organisation is seeking a Tax Manager to support the tax affairs of its growing private markets and real-asset investment activities. This role offers a broad mix of advisory exposure, compliance oversight, and hands-on collaboration with investment, finance, and operational teams.

You’ll be working within a central tax function that supports multiple business units, helping them navigate tax implications across complex transactions and ongoing investment structures. The team welcomes applicants from a variety of tax backgrounds.
