On the non-contentious side, the team's work includes advisory, compliance and deals support matters, with a particular focus on emerging taxes and staying ahead of the market, making it an exciting and modern place to work.

• Overseeing delivery of advice on environmental taxes including Landfill Tax, Aggregates Levy, Climate Change Levy, Plastic Packaging Tax, Air Passenger Duty and CBAM.
• Managing project progress, deliverables, and internal and external stakeholders.
• Helping to drive business development activities including discussions with clients, giving presentations, pitches and proposals.
• Coaching and developing junior team members.
• Managing financial performance of projects and contributing to team growth, including overseeing fee estimates, managing budgets and ensuring timely billing.

This role is for you if:

• Excellent environmental tax technical and analytical skills
• Good communication skills, written and oral
• A commitment to team working
• A commitment to delivering excellent client service
• Strong project management skills and the ability to prioritise tasks
• Ability to apply good judgement, consult appropriately and manage risks
• Good self-organisational skills
• Resilience and ability to work to deadlines
• Ability to work flexibly and through virtual networks
• Ability to manage and support junior staff
• A strong interest and understanding of the benefits of technology and innovation
• Ambition and a strong desire to succeed

What you'll receive from us:

No matter where you may be in your career or personal life, our benefits are designed to add value and support, recognising and rewarding you fairly for your contributions.

We offer a range of benefits including empowered flexibility and a working week split between office, home and client site; private medical cover and 24/7 access to a qualified virtual GP; six volunteering days a year and much more.
