The opportunity
Our London-based U.S. Tax practice continues to see strong growth driven by rising demand from European asset managers with U.S. investors and U.S. activities, particularly in the private equity, hedge fund, credit, and real‑estate fund sectors. As the volume and complexity of U.S. state tax requirements increases for our clients, we are expanding our State & Local Tax (SALT) leadership team.
We are seeking an experienced and technically strong U.S. SALT Senior Manager to lead complex engagements, drive operational excellence, develop our people, and support continued practice growth. This is a highly visible leadership role in a dynamic and collaborative environment.
Your Key Responsibilities
Leading the delivery of complex U.S. state and local income tax compliance engagements, including multistate partnership and corporate filings, combined/unitary returns, withholding obligations, and state modifications. Leading advisory engagements involving state tax controversy, restructuring, mergers & acquisitions, new fund launches, and U.S. market entry. Managing large‑scale engagements (2,500+ hours), including budgeting, resource planning, risk assessments, and quality control across multiple deadlines and deliverables. Supporting business development efforts, including identifying opportunities within existing accounts, contributing to proposals, and attending prospective client meetings.
