The role involves interpreting UK tax legislation, drafting clear written advice, managing client queries, and supporting tax risk assessments and audit responses where needed. The UK Tax Advisor will collaborate closely with senior advisors to structure efficient solutions, maintain accurate documentation, and contribute to internal technical knowledge.

• Excellent analytical, numerical, and problem‑solving abilities, with attention to detail and high professional standards.
• Clear and concise written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts in accessible language.
• Comfort working in a small, specialist team environment, with a proactive, accountable, and client‑focused approach.
• Fluency in English is required; additional regional languages are an advantage.
