Job description

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.

Whilst the team is UK based, the nature of the AIF industry means that a large amount of our work is international meaning there are many opportunities to work with the wider PwC AIF network on both outbound and inbound clients and opportunities to travel to the US are expected.

We are looking for a Senior Manager with strong advisory and compliance focused tax experience to primarily focus on Hedge Fund and inbound clients, from start-ups all the way through to global multi-PM and multi strategy managers.

As a Senior Manager you will have 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 tax technical skills in a stimulating and challenging environment.

What your days will look like:

• The Alternative Investment Funds industry is dynamic, technically demanding and creative and offers opportunities to work on major transactions, international structuring, and a range of day-to-day UK tax matters.
• You will lead advisory focused projects for clients within the AIF team by taking responsibility for researching and summarising technical analysis.
• You will be responsible for helping to manage the team to provide excellent advisory services to globally situated clients. You will need to understand the business and transactions undertaken by clients to enable you to provide opportunities to those clients at the right time.
• You will be responsible for liaising with the compliance centre for a portfolio of clients by participating in client meetings, ensuring timetable adherence, supporting the compliance team with any tax analysis before undertaking a technical review of the work prepared.

This role is for you if:

• You want a position where you will build relationships directly with senior client leadership and founders, become a real driver with day-to-day deliverables and manage and develop the existing junior team members.
• You are commercially, financially and operationally proactive and agile and keen to work in a fast paced ever changing environment.
• You feel energised by meeting new people, enjoy working with clients who are developing their business and exploring new ideas.
• You possess an accounting or tax qualification (or International equivalent)
• You have US tax experience though this is not essential.

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.
