Job Description:
Do you enjoy tax technical research and solving complex technical queries? We are looking for a talented individual at Director level, from either a corporate or mixed tax background, to be part of our national Central Technical Team. The ideal candidate will operate in a non client facing capacity and have very strong technical skills, drive and curiosity.
The Central Technical team works together with teams across the tax practice to collect, create, curate and communicate technical insight for the benefit of our teams and clients. This involves both carrying out original research and analysing knowledge submissions to produce and maintain technical resources to support our teams in delivering work to clients, assisting with complex technical queries, producing tax technical newsletters and monitoring important tax technical developments arising as a result of case law or the annual Budget and Finance Bill process, working closely with the separate Tax Policy team as required.
We are currently growing the team in order to increase our breadth of technical expertise within the central team, accelerate the expansion of our collection of detailed technical guidance, and ensure that our reference materials are current, maintained, and complement developments in technology including new AI tools.
Team members are based all over the UK so we are flexible on location and support hybrid and flexible working. While the role is not directly client-facing it is essential that the candidate has a keen appreciation of the issues facing clients, and a strong track record in delivering practical advice to clients.
Responsibilities
* Supervising the production of technical reference and thought leadership materials across a broad area of the UK tax code with a focus on corporation tax. The role will be primarily focused on supporting/directing research carried out by others and reviewing draft content but may be required to assist with drafting in particularly complex areas.
* Developing an agreed structure for tax technical guidance in set areas, managing potential overlaps between different topics.
* Managing the delegation of work to other members of the team and having the ability to train and develop their understanding in both technical and soft skills.
* Overseeing the ongoing maintenance of technical reference materials ensuring these are promptly updated for changes in law and practice.
* Supporting client service teams with complex technical queries on an ad hoc basis in allocated areas of expertise.
* Leading and coordinating engagement with HMRC and HMT in areas of expertise, for example responses to consultations.
* Supporting technology specialists with the development of new technology solutions to help with technical research including AI tools.
* Providing technical support to the learning team (which may potentially involve developing, reviewing and/or presenting technical training) on an ad hoc basis in areas of expertise.
What we require from you:
* Relevant legal or tax (CTA or equivalent) qualification with a good understanding of the UK tax system, particularly corporation tax.
* A strong knowledge of several tax technical areas, and the ability to quickly acquire a working knowledge of new regimes/topics.
* The ability to formulate and critically assess tax technical legal analysis and strong writing skills are essential.
* Experience of reviewing and signing out UK tax advice.
* Experience managing and coaching junior staff and a team.
* A keen and insightful appreciation of the issues facing clients and a strong awareness of risk management issues.
* An awareness of tax technology tools including AI.
* Expertise in international tax topics including BEPS 2.0 is desirable but not essential.
