Are you a problem solver? Do you thrive on organisation and bringing method to the madness?

Following a period of significant expansion, we’re currently on the hunt for a Tax Resource Manager to support and help develop our growing, national team.

You’ll be integral to ensuring the Tax team runs smoothly, working alongside stakeholders to ensure work is allocated efficiently, as well as using insights to influence decision-making around people and recruitment matters.

This is an opportunity to play a crucial role in one of our key service lines, driving efficiency and strategy, and ultimately contribute to further growth and success.

About the day to day…

You'll get stuck into a diverse range of tasks and responsibilities, including;

• Managing the deployment of resources to match client needs and the skills of the team
• Working closely with stakeholders to find solutions for resourcing conflicts, monitor client information flow, and redistribute resource to reduce ‘idle time’
• Contributing to the development and ongoing maintenance of resource data to ensure management has clear, accurate visibility of team capacity and utilisation
• Understanding headcount levels across the business unit to enable fair work allocation and feed into wider recruitment and people development strategy
• Monitoring utilisation levels across all grades and ensuing over/under-utilisation is challenged, flagged or escalated
• Ensure that processes are followed by stakeholders, including holiday booking/study leave/non-chargeable projects etc
• Work closely with our Student Support Manager to allocate time out of the business for training courses, college and exams
• Provide regular data driven insights to key stakeholders on upcoming capacity, peaks and conflicts to help enable and drive business decisions
• Delivering training to new team members on resourcing processes, the importance of effective resource management, and how to use 'our resourcing platform' to support this
• Supporting the development and implementation of a plan to expand resourcing into regional areas, contributing to the creation of a cohesive national approach for Business Tax
• Actively supporting the development of team members through coaching, knowledge sharing, and day-to-day guidance
• Continuously identifying and implementing improvements to the resourcing process to drive efficiency, accuracy, and effectiveness

At Cooper Parry, we’re in it together. All we ask of our people is that they play all in. You’ll continuously strive to keep learning – whether you’re a trainee or a Partner – and you’ll be brave, stepping out of your comfort zone to tackle new challenges. Above all, be nice. A simple notion, but an irreplaceable part of what makes CP, CP.

The key for this role is organisation, to keep on top of the resource for the team, as well as adaptability to tackle anything that might affect the planning. You will be hands on, proactive and integral to ensuring our tax team is running at their best. We are looking for someone who…

• Is resilient, can hold difficult conversations and challenge senior stakeholders when needed
• Can prioritise effectively with incredible time management
• Has at least 3 years’ experience working as a resource manager, ideally within an accountancy practice or similar type of environment
• Is a real team player, ready to jump in and support the others when needed

We’ve been dubbed ‘the rebels of accountancy’. We’re straight-talking. Never afraid to share our opinions. We put people and relationships before products and services, and deliver a streamlined, client-focused service – free from unnecessary red tape.
