Senior Manager, Tax

As a Tax Senior Manager in the Tax Reporting & Strategy (TRS) practice at PwC, you will serve as a key leader responsible for managing complex tax compliance and advisory engagements. This role sits at the intersection of technical delivery and strategic management, bridging the gap between day-to-day project execution and broader practice leadership. You will oversee multiple teams, ensure the highest standards of technical accuracy and client service, and play a significant role in developing both client relationships and the capabilities of your team.

The ideal candidate will possess advanced technical expertise in tax, proven experience managing large-scale projects, and the ability to provide strategic guidance to both clients and internal teams. You will also contribute to the growth and operational excellence of the TRS practice through business development, process improvement, and thought leadership.

Growing as a strategic advisor, you leverage your influence, expertise, and network to deliver quality results. You motivate and coach others, coming together to solve complex problems. As you increase in autonomy, you apply sound judgment, recognising when to take action and when to escalate. You are expected to solve through complexity, ask thoughtful questions, and clearly communicate how things fit together. Your ability to develop and sustain high performing, diverse, and inclusive teams, and your commitment to excellence, contributes to the success of our Firm.
