The anisotropy splitting in the ground state of the single-molecule magnet [Mn4O3Br(OAc)3(dbm)3] is studied by inelastic neutron scattering as a function of hydrostatic pressure. This allows a tuning of the anisotropy and thus the energy barrier for slow magnetisation relaxation at low temperatures. The value of the negative axial anisotropy parameter $D_{\rm cluster}$ changes from -0.0627(1) meV at ambient to -0.0603(3) meV at 12 kbar pressure, and in the same pressure range the height of the energy barrier between up and down spins is reduced from 1.260(5) meV to 1.213(9) meV. Since the $\rm Mn-Br$ bond is significantly softer and thus more compressible than the $\rm Mn-O$ bonds, pressure induces a tilt of the single ion Mn$^{3+}$ anisotropy axes, resulting in the net reduction of the axial cluster anisotropy.
