Shape Tax Insight. Enable Learning. Influence Practice.

KPMG is seeking an experienced Senior Manager with a strong corporate tax background to join our national Central Technical and Learning Team. This is an outstanding opportunity for a technically accomplished professional who enjoys researching complex tax matters, developing practical guidance, and sharing knowledge that supports both colleagues and clients.

If you are naturally curious, highly analytical, and motivated by translating legislation and case law into clear, practical insight, this role offers the platform to make a real impact across the wider tax practice.

About the Team

The Central Technical Team collaborates with teams across KPMG’s tax practice to gather, develop, refine, and communicate technical insight that benefits our people and our clients.

Working at the centre of technical excellence, the team is responsible for producing original research, creating technical resources, supporting learning programmes, and monitoring significant tax developments, including changes arising from case law, the annual Budget, and the Finance Bill process.

You will also work closely with the separate Tax Policy Team where required, helping ensure KPMG’s technical content remains current, practical, and highly relevant.

As team members are located across the UK, we offer flexibility on location alongside hybrid and flexible working arrangements.

• Support client service teams by responding to complex technical queries and providing expert input on an ad hoc basis.

• Contribute to technical learning programmes, including the development, review, and presentation of training.

• Monitor key tax developments and help communicate relevant updates to the wider practice.
