In addition to delivery, the role will include building client relationships as part of wider client service teams and embedding tax into opportunities where relevant, as well as taking tax propositions to clients.

Another key aspect of the role is to be a role model in terms of knowledge sharing and coaching staff so that they build their life insurance tax specialism and we have a team ready to meet market demand.

The role is a national role. Applications will be welcomed from candidates in any location, with Edinburgh and London being preferred base office locations.
