Job description

Overview

Deloitte's Investment Management Tax Advisory team is offering an exciting opportunity to work in one of the fastest growing sectors within the Financial Services Industry. We are looking for an individual to join an established, client focused team that is seeking to grow and take advantage market opportunities. We are seeking additional team members who can establish themselves as trusted advisors to a diverse portfolio of large complex clients. This may include regulated investment fund managers, pension schemes and sovereign wealth funds.

We work with some of the largest investors in the world, supporting them in managing tax within their global investment portfolios and fund products. The team typically acts as a centralised international tax advisor, managing global tax workstreams and providing a UK based single point of contact for clients. We strive to provide a holistic tax service to clients, building close, long-term client relationships that we consider are essential to being successful in this sector. Working closely with Directors and Associate Directors and Managers in the group and other teams will allow you to develop both technical and soft skills, building close client relationships and professional networks.

The team works closely with international tax teams across 75 countries that are within our global investment management network, as well as working with cross-service line teams. This enables us to provide our clients with a comprehensive tax service. The team provides a wide range of tax support to clients in relation to their global investment portfolios and in-house fund products. We typically provide advice in respect of public market assets and third party pooled fund holdings. Key areas of work include, but are not limited to, supporting institutional investors, helping them to understand the tax risks associated with their investments and assisting them in managing international operational taxes (ensuring they meet all reporting and filing obligations), as well as advising on the design and establishment of traditional investment structures (equities/bonds) catering to institutional investors.

• Advice to UK and international clients on the design and launch of new funds and/or restructuring of existing ranges,
• Development of client relationships, including cultivation of relationships based on referrals from other parts of the UK and global business,
• Oversight, delivery and initial quality control review of global tax support workstreams,
• Working with institutional investors such as pension schemes and sovereign wealth funds, undertaken tax reviews of investments to identify tax risk and opportunities,
• Supporting clients to minimise international operational tax liabilities and comply with local compliance requirements,
• Building client teams, developing the capabilities of junior team members and supporting the wider team,
• Pro-actively ensure that all relevant risk procedures are adhered to on engagements, in addition to taking financial responsibility for engagements, and
• Input to client meetings on both an account and wider team level basis.

• The ability to learn new tax concepts and apply them within time constraints,
• Strong proactivity, communication and written skills,
• The desire and motivation to advance your career in investment management taxation, and
• The desire to be challenged and stretched.

Connect to your business - Tax

Innovation and tax consultancy may not seem to go together, but that's exactly what you'll find at Deloitte. We're constantly seeking the new and working together to push the limits of what's possible. Discover a new kind of tax career that you can make your own.

Tax

Our comprehensive range of services encompasses everything from the completion of tax returns (corporation tax self-assessment) to complex consultancy assignments and strategic tax planning. We advise on corporate and general tax, international M&A, stamp tax, cross-border transfer pricing, reorganisations and reconstructions, and competent authority negotiations.

Personal independence

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
