Job Description:

Do you enjoy tax technical research and solving complex technical queries? We are looking for a talented individual at Senior Manager level, from either a corporate or mixed tax background, to be part of our national Central Technical Team. The ideal candidate will have very strong technical skills, drive and curiosity.

The Central Technical team works together with teams across the tax practice to collect, create, curate and communicate technical insight for the benefit of our teams and clients. This involves both carrying out original research and analysing knowledge submissions to produce and maintain technical resources to support our teams in delivering work to clients, assisting with complex technical queries, producing tax technical newsletters and monitoring important tax technical developments arising as a result of case law or the annual Budget and Finance Bill process, working closely with the separate Tax Policy team as required.

We are currently growing the team in order to increase our breadth of technical expertise within the central team, accelerate the expansion of our collection of detailed technical guidance, and ensure that our reference materials are current, maintained, and complement developments in technology including new AI tools.

Team members are based all over the UK so we are flexible on location and support hybrid and flexible working. While the role is not directly client-facing, it is essential that the candidate has a keen appreciation of the issues facing clients.

Responsibilities:

• Managing the production of technical reference and thought leadership materials on specified topics.
• Assisting in developing an agreed structure for guidance on relevant topics.
• Undertaking independent research to draft technical reference materials based on relevant legislation, case law, and tax authority guidance, incorporating relevant additional insight from existing KPMG generated resources, subject matter experts, and other appropriate sources.
• Supporting and directing research carried out by others and reviewing draft content.
• Taking ownership of ongoing maintenance of materials, ensuring these are promptly updated for changes in law and practice.
• Supporting client service teams with complex technical queries on an ad hoc basis in areas of expertise.
• Supporting and coordinating engagement with HMRC and HMT in areas of expertise, for example responses to consultations.
• Supporting technology specialists with the development of new technology solutions to help with technical research including AI tools.
• Providing technical support to the learning team (which may potentially involve developing, reviewing, and/or presenting technical training) on an ad hoc basis in areas of expertise.

What we require from you:

• Relevant legal or tax (CTA or equivalent) qualification.
• The ability to carry out tax research and to formulate and critically assess analysis by reference to relevant tax legislation and case law is essential.
• Confidence in reading and clearly explaining the application of legislation and case law.
• Requires a good understanding of the UK tax system, a strong knowledge of some areas, and the ability to quickly acquire a working knowledge of new regimes/topics.
• A good appreciation of the issues facing clients and a strong awareness of risk management issues.
• An awareness of tax technology tools including AI.
• A strong track record in delivering practical advice to clients is desirable but not essential.
