About the Role
Senior Tax Manager (M&A)
The Opportunity
If your tax work currently ends with a memo someone else acts on, this role puts you on the other side of the table.
You'll own the tax side of every deal, from the first structuring conversation to long after closing. You design the structure, negotiate the tax positions yourself, then stay with the portfolio to keep it compliant and efficient.
Your after-tax modelling feeds straight into deal valuations, which means your work shapes investment decisions rather than sitting in an appendix.
The Role
You'll advise on buy-side and sell-side transactions involving layered, cross-border structures. Day to day, that means:
- Designing tax-efficient structures that also protect investor reputation
- Reviewing external due diligence reports and challenging findings that don't hold up
- Securing robust tax positions in purchase agreements and side documentation, and finding workable solutions when parties disagree
- Modelling after-tax returns and feeding them into deal valuations
- Briefing accounting teams and investors' advisers once deals close
- Managing compliance and documentation across investment vehicles, including transfer pricing
- Spotting tax risks early and coordinating mitigation with group functions and outside counsel
- Leading restructurings and keeping every stakeholder aligned
- Tracking legislative change and what it means for the portfolio
You'll work directly with investors, finance colleagues and external advisers, so your recommendations reach the people making the decisions.
The Company
Our client is an international investment organisation with a portfolio spanning multiple jurisdictions. Tax is built into how it invests, not treated as a compliance step at the end.
That gives you two things that are rarely found together: the pace and variety of live transactions, and the continuity of seeing the structures you designed perform over time.
What You'll Need
- Four to seven years' tax experience gained in advisory, in-house or with the tax authorities
- Solid knowledge of German and international tax law
- Confidence building financial models, including after-tax return analysis
- Fluent German and English
