• Lead and develop junior team members, helping shape their careers.
• Build relationships across the wider real estate and tax network.
• Operate in a team with strong tenure, visibility and a clear path for progression.
• Enjoy flexibility-reduced hours, job share and other arrangements genuinely considered.

What you'll need

• ACA / ACCA / CTA (or equivalent).
• Strong UK corporate tax experience-ideally with exposure to real estate.
• Experience reviewing work and developing junior team members.
• Confidence working directly with clients and senior stakeholders.

• Cross-border advisory and tax due diligence.
• Tax compliance across real estate asset classes.
• Business development or proposal involvement.
• Experience with UK REITs or property fund set-ups.
