About The Role
Join a market-leading Financial Services Indirect Tax team that advises some of the largest and most complex businesses in the market. You'll work across all aspects of indirect tax, collaborating with specialists in VAT, customs, excise, stamp taxes, and environmental taxes to deliver innovative, practical solutions for clients.

Your Responsibilities Will Include
- Managing a portfolio of client relationships and acting as a trusted adviser.
- Identifying and pursuing business development opportunities with new and existing clients.
- Developing practical strategies to address complex VAT and indirect tax challenges.
- Leading the delivery of large and often multi-disciplinary projects.
- Advising UK-based businesses on domestic and international VAT matters.
- Coaching, mentoring, and supervising junior team members.
- Contributing to the development of the team's technical and commercial offerings.
