The postholder will provide expert guidance on complex tax matters, support strategic financial planning, and contribute to the development of tax-efficient practices across the University and its subsidiaries. 

As a senior finance professional within the University, you will play a prominent role, managing the Tax team, providing strategic direction and operational leadership. Working at the heart of a vibrant and diverse academic environment, you will ensure services are delivered to high standards, manage performance and service metrics, and guide a team of professional support staff that reflects the University’s commitment to excellence and continuous improvement.
