  • Likely 2–4 years PQE, ideally from a Big 4 / Top 10 firm
  • Strong grounding in corporate tax, with some international exposure
  • Keen to broaden experience across multiple tax disciplines
  • Looking to make a first move into a commercial, in-house environment
  • Proactive, organised and comfortable working in a collaborative team

 

Why This Role
