As deal advisers, International Transaction Tax team members not only get good UK tax technical experience but also gain a commercial understanding of what is important to our clients in a deal context. As a large part of ITTS work is cross-border, you will also have an early introduction to international structuring techniques and overseas tax regimes.

• Oversee quality of client service.
• Manage possible leads from other areas of the practice.
• Build networks and relationships internally and externally for the team to leverage.
• Help people to develop through effectively supervising, coaching, and mentoring staff.
• Contribute to people initiatives, including retaining and training transaction tax professionals.
• Significant involvement in the management of the team both in terms of strategy and operations.

Skills and attributes for success

• Strong client relationship management skills with ability to develop quality outputs to clients.
• Business development skills, able to identify and convert opportunities to sell work to new and existing clients.
• Effective time management, ability to remain calm under pressure to meet deadlines.
• Experience of coaching and developing junior staff.
• Ensure delivery of quality work and manage the delivery team.
• Change-oriented with a flexible approach.
• Strong knowledge and experience within transaction/M&A tax.

To qualify for the role you must have

• ACA/ATT/CTA or international equivalent / Law qualification.
• Experience in transaction tax.
• Strong transaction tax technical skills.

What we offer

• Continuous learning: You’ll develop the mindset and skills to navigate whatever comes next.
• Success as defined by you: We’ll provide the tools and flexibility, so you can make a meaningful impact, your way.
• Transformative leadership: We’ll give you the insights, coaching and confidence to be the leader the world needs.
• Diverse and inclusive culture: You’ll be embraced for who you are and empowered to use your voice to help others find theirs.
