Job description

The opportunity

The team is made up of core professionals in the UK supported by a strong EMEIA and global tax network, focusing on operational taxes.

  • Build networks and relationships internally and externally for the team to leverage from
• Help people to develop through effectively supervising, coaching and mentoring staff
• Significant involvement in the management of the team both in terms of strategy and operations and through managing junior staff development and assignments

Skills and attributes for success

  • Knowledge of securities taxation principles (withholding, tax treaty analysis, capital gains etc) and tax considerations impacting institutional portfolio investors and custodians
• Understanding of the financial ecosystem (role of CSD, custodians, broker dealers) and specific products (equity investment portfolio, securities lending, derivatives
  • An ability to work to tight deal deadlines
  • Excellent written and oral English communication skills
  • Pragmatism and the ability to solve problems creatively
  • Results orientation and a willingness to take on responsibility
  • A strong client focus allied to strategic and commercial awareness

• Change orientated with flexible approach
