About EY Tax
EY Tax is a market leader, renowned for delivering sustainable growth and empowering our people to shape their own careers. Our diverse, collaborative team advises on high-profile transactions, combining technical expertise, innovation and a genuine focus on continuous development. Join us to work on challenging, multi-country projects in a supportive, dynamic environment where your impact truly matters.
The Opportunity
We’re seeking an experienced Director to join our Private Client team, managing a diverse portfolio of clients with complex US and/or UK tax affairs. You’ll play a key role in delivering outstanding client service across compliance and advisory matters, developing junior team members, and supporting business growth through effective portfolio management.
The Team
Our US/UK Cross Border team advises international high-net-worth individuals, family offices, private equity and hedge fund principals, and high-profile professional partnerships. We provide a full range of tax services — from compliance and residence/domicile advice to transactions, wealth optimisation, and succession planning.
Key Responsibilities
- Drive business development opportunities through your network and collaboration with colleagues across EY’s service lines.
- Manage the successful delivery of technically complex and demanding consulting projects, ensuring technical excellence and a practical, business-focused approach.
- Provide development support to junior team members through effective supervision, coaching, and mentoring.
- Contribute to people initiatives, including team retention, development, and training.
- Play a significant role in the management of the team — both strategically and operationally — while overseeing junior staff development and assignments.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
