- Managing local and international teams to keep quality, consistency and delivery high across jurisdictions
- Travelling across London and the Thames Valley to meet clients and teams
What you’ll bring
- Strong indirect tax / VAT expertise across both compliance and advisory
- A proven record of managing large teams (essential)
- Experience from Big 4, Top 10 or a similar advisory environment, ideally at Director level
