Manager – Corporate Transaction Tax - UK Nationwide

The opportunity – L3 Manager, Corporate Transaction Tax Team

EY Tax is a market leader, renowned for delivering sustainable growth and empowering our people to shape their own careers. Our diverse, collaborative team advises on high-profile transactions, combining technical expertise, innovation and a genuine focus on continuous development. Join us to work on challenging, multi-country projects in a supportive, dynamic environment where your impact truly matters.

EY’s Corporate Transaction Tax team (CTT), part of our International Tax and Transaction Services (ITTS) practice, advises some of the largest UK and multinational organisations on complex and high‑profile transactions. Our team is consistently recognised as the most developed corporate focused M&A tax team, having advised on six of the ten largest corporate transactions in the market in 2025, working alongside award‑winning Partners and multidisciplinary deal teams. This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast‑growing, high‑performing M&A tax team at a pivotal time for the UK and global deals market. You will play a key role in helping clients navigate complexity and deliver successful transactions across the full deal lifecycle.

You will work across a broad range of transactions, including acquisitions, disposals, group restructurings, IPOs and refinancings, advising on tax structuring, buy‑ and sell‑side tax due diligence, SPA support, funds flows and post‑deal implementation. Given the cross‑border nature of much of our work, you will collaborate closely with EY teams globally, combining deep UK tax expertise with international tax.

Your key responsibilities

• Manage technically complex transaction tax engagements, ensuring technical excellence and a clear, pragmatic focus on client outcomes.
• Support business development opportunities and proposal development.
• Coach, supervise and develop junior team members through on‑the‑job guidance, feedback, mentoring and formal training.
• Contribute to the broader development of the Corporate Transaction Tax practice, including thought leadership, internal training and process improvement initiatives.
• Leverage AI and technology to enhance how we analyse, deliver and communicate transaction tax advice, driving greater efficiency and insight for our clients.

Skills and attributes for success

• ACA/ legal qualification/ tax qualification (or equivalent breadth of knowledge and experience).
• Strong UK corporate tax (and/or international tax) technical capability, with the ability to apply it in a fast‑moving deal environment.
• Strong project delivery skills, with experience taking ownership of workstreams.
• Experience of coaching and developing junior colleagues.
• Commercial and strategic mindset with a client‑focused approach and an ability to prioritise what matters.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including producing clear, well‑structured client deliverables.
