About the role

PwC's Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) team sits within our wider Financial Services Tax team. The team consists of specialists focusing on assisting alternative investment fund managers with a range of services across their business, covering the manager, the key people, the funds, investors and investments. While the team is UK based, much of our work is international, creating opportunities to work with the wider PwC AIF network. As a Senior Manager you will work as part of a team to provide excellent quality advisory and compliance services to a high-profile portfolio of both UK and multinational clients. You will have the opportunity to work on a range of AIF clients, covering strategies including Private Equity, Private Credit, Infrastructure, Hedge Funds and Real Estate. You will be given the opportunity to develop your skills, drive your ambition and work with experienced Partners and Directors across the team. The team will provide you with the opportunity to put into practice your technical skills in a stimulating and challenging environment.

What your days will look like

• The alternative investment funds industry is dynamic, technically demanding and offers opportunities to work on large complex international projects as well as interesting UK tax matters.
• You will be responsible for managing a portfolio of clients and advising on a broad range of issues covering the manager/advisor, the fund, the fund executives, the investors, the investments and tax reporting.
• You will work closely with other parts of the business, including the wider Financial Services Tax team and Deals tax and international PwC member firms.
• You will manage client teams and will coach and support junior members of the team, encouraging everyone to have a voice and inviting opinions from all.
• You will contribute to the growth of the team, through developing junior members of the team and through contributing to marketing activities and thought leadership.

This role is for you if

• You have experience of working with alternative investment fund managers.
• You are interested in building relationships directly with senior client leadership and founders, owning day-to-day deliverables and managing and developing junior team members.
• You are commercially and operationally proactive and agile and are keen to work in a fast paced, exciting and ever-changing environment, with the support of experienced Partners and Directors.
• You feel energised by meeting new people, enjoy working with clients who are developing their business and exploring new ideas.
• You have a UK accounting, tax or legal qualification (or an international equivalent).
