VAT Lead - Strategic Tax Leadership in West London Up to £110,000 + Bonus
Be the Driving Force Behind VAT Strategy
A high-performing business in West London is seeking a VAT Lead to take full ownership of its VAT function. This is more than a compliance role-it's a strategic leadership position where you'll shape the future of VAT across the group, lead a talented team, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with the Head of Tax.
Whether your title says "Manager" or "Lead," you'll be the pioneer-steering commercial advisory work, influencing strategic direction, and building a best-in-class VAT team.
What Makes This Role Stand Out
* Total VAT Ownership: Lead all aspects of VAT across the business
* Leadership & Influence: Manage a team of three and collaborate closely with the Head of Tax
* Strategic Impact: Drive commercial projects and shape VAT strategy
* Cross-Functional Collaboration: Build strong relationships across the wider tax and finance teams
* Hybrid Working: Office presence required three days a week in West London
What You'll Be Doing
* Leading and mentoring the VAT team, fostering growth and excellence
* Owning VAT compliance, advisory, and planning across the group
* Delivering strategic input on commercial projects and cross-border VAT issues
* Partnering with senior stakeholders to embed VAT into broader business decisions
* Enhancing processes and proactively identifying risk and opportunity
What You Bring
* Proven VAT expertise across compliance and advisory
* Strong leadership and people management skills
* Commercial mindset with the ability to influence strategy
* Experience in industry or practice, with the confidence to lead from the front
* Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
This is a rare opportunity to lead from the front, shape a VAT function your way, and make a lasting impact in a business that values initiative and strategic thinking. If you're ready to step into a role with real influence, this is your moment.
