You’ll be joining a collaborative, high-performing tax function with an excellent reputation across the business and the opportunity to work alongside talented professionals who are passionate about what they do.
  
Initially offered as a 12-month fixed term contract, the business is continuing to grow and invest in its future, creating genuine potential for the role to extend beyond the initial term.
If you enjoy building relationships across the business, partnering with stakeholders and working in a collaborative environment where your expertise is valued, this is a fantastic opportunity.

• A sound understanding of tax governance and tax risk management.
• Excellent stakeholder management and business partnering skills.

• Work alongside experienced tax professionals and subject matter experts.
• Broad exposure across both corporate and funds tax.

• Hybrid working with only two days per week in the office (you’re welcome to work from the office more often if you prefer).
• Fantastic culture with a genuine focus on collaboration, learning and career development.
