• Support marketing, content creation, and the identification of upsell opportunities alongside the leadership and sales teams.
• Line manage the tax team; contribute to recruitment, performance management, and internal process improvements.
• Ensure full compliance on all submissions and filings; respond to HMRC queries and manage risk across the tax portfolio.
