- Manage assignment profitability, oversee end-to-end project timelines, manage billing, and maintain premium client care and trust.
- Train, mentor, and line manage junior team members, offering constructive feedback and active coaching to support their professional growth.
- Collaborate directly with wider specialist teams, including corporate and private client tax, to ensure all deadlines are met and identify opportunities to add value to clients.
