About the Role
Step into a pivotal role at the heart of THG’s global finance organisation, where tax sits at the centre of a fast-moving, multi-jurisdictional business. We’re looking for a driven and ambitious Group Tax Manager to join our team and shape the next chapter of our tax capability. This is far more than a technical compliance role - it’s an opportunity to influence decision-making across a diverse, international portfolio and support leaders right across the Group.
You’ll take ownership of Indirect and Direct Tax, while gaining hands-on exposure to transfer pricing, employment taxes, and customs duty. With regular interaction with senior stakeholders and external advisors, this role offers unparalleled visibility and the chance to navigate complex cross-border tax matters as we continue to scale globally.
This is an exceptional opportunity for a talented tax professional - particularly someone stepping from Practice into Industry -to broaden their skillset and build a long-term career in a dynamic, high-growth environment. You’ll be empowered to shape how tax supports the business, with clear pathways to progress into broader advisory, commercial finance, or global tax leadership roles.
As Group Tax Manager, you will play a critical role in safeguarding our tax governance and ensuring we remain compliant, agile, and strategically aligned as we grow.
As a Group Tax Manager you will:
- Conduct initial reviews of VAT compliance filings in all operating territories;
- Assist with Corporate Tax initial reviews;
- Assist with employment taxes, transfer pricing, customs duty, inward processing, bill of discharge;
- Provide ongoing support for business operations and strategic projects globally;
- Advise the business on key changes in Indirect Tax legislation;
- Carry out technical analysis in respect of key areas, e.g. the impact of the UK / EU e-commerce provisions;
- Review and update the VAT liability of the Group’s wide ranging product file;
- Support the team on interactions with tax authorities globally;
- Drive improvements in compliance and reporting processes and controls, including through technology solutions; and
- Play an active role in the tax leadership group to raise the profile of tax within the business and deliver training across the organisation.
What skills and experience do I need for this role?
- CTA / ACA / ACCA qualified (or equivalent)
- Strong technical knowledge of UK and international tax, covering both compliance and advisory for Indirect and Direct tax.
- Self-motivated and ambitious with the ability to lead, inspire and develop others in a fast-paced setting
