Manager, Indirect Tax, Financial Investors in Edinburgh

Deloitte's Financial Investors Indirect Tax team has grown rapidly and to continue that growth is looking to recruit high calibre individuals at Manager level. The Indirect Tax Practice is regarded within the firm as one of the leading and most successful service lines, with a reputation for being proactive, entrepreneurial, successful and fun to work with. We reward our employees on merit and not time served.

Working for us will present you with the opportunity to get involved with high profile clients and expand your horizons. Within the Indirect Tax practice, through the merging of our successful M&A and Real Estate indirect tax teams in 2019 we formed a Financial Investors team. It has seen consistent and significant growth since then (both in revenue and team size). The team has exciting plans for even further growth over the coming years, operating in an area considered a major priority.

The team sits within the Indirect Tax group and primarily works alongside Deloitte's Financial Investors Tax team - one of the most dynamic and fast-growing areas of the business. The team advises across all aspects of VAT for our financial investor clients - working on many of the highest value private equity and real estate transactions in the UK and Europe, supporting high profile investment businesses on their VAT positions and advising private equity backed businesses in all sectors.

Working in Deloitte's Financial Investors VAT team will present any new member with the opportunity to become involved in challenging and interesting work, where innovation is welcomed, and team spirit is vibrant and sociable. Having formed a diverse and successful team of 30+ individuals, led by 4 Partners, we are now looking to bring in additional experienced individuals to join the team, help us pursue new growth opportunities and bring a fresh perspective. We are looking for people with experience in working on transactions and/or real estate matters.

Your skill set will be enhanced with us, and there will be plenty of opportunity for you to progress quickly, as you work on engagements involving a diverse range of clients with specific needs and requirements. As you are given the autonomy to establish your own contacts within a client and reach your own solutions your independence will be accelerated. It is up to you to take this independence and build your own network. Whilst autonomy is encouraged the team network will always be available when you need support and advice.

You will have responsibility for:

• Leading small teams day-to-day on client engagements (likely to be a balance of transaction projects and advisory work), supported by a Director or Partner
• Assisting with deepening relationships with clients and targets, contributing to winning new work
• Assisting with developing Analysts with hands-on advice and support
• Input into development of new market opportunities locally, nationally and internationally with an opportunity to lead the market development of new ideas
• Working closely with colleagues in other parts of the firm
• Helping to shape the culture and goals of the team, ensuring it remains a great place to work
• Having a broader perspective of potential issues encountered when managing diverse teams and the strategies to overcome them; having a clear understanding of the firm's commitment to creating a more inclusive culture

To qualify for the role, you must have:

• Relevant experience either in practice, industry or with HMRC
• Excellent client facing, relationship building and business development skills, coupled with commercial awareness within a relevant industry
• The ability to be proactive, identify opportunities, take early responsibility and lead project teams

Innovation and tax consultancy may not seem to go together, but that's exactly what you'll find at Deloitte. We're constantly seeking the new and working together to push the limits of what's possible. Discover a new kind of tax career that you can make your own.

Our comprehensive range of services encompasses everything from the completion of tax returns (corporation tax self-assessment) to complex consultancy assignments and strategic tax planning. We advise on corporate and general tax, international M&A, stamp tax, cross-border transfer pricing, reorganisations and reconstructions, and competent authority negotiations.

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships).

We advise some of the largest, most prestigious clients in the world, so the work is really challenging and exciting. We also have a fantastic team of smart, driven people, and a supportive, entrepreneurial culture where everyone's encouraged to be bold, creative, and ambitious.

You'll be based in one of our UK locations with hybrid working. At Deloitte we understand the importance of balancing your career alongside your home life. That's why we'll support you to work flexibly through our hybrid working policy.

Are you looking to return to the workplace after an extended career break? For this role we can offer coaching and support designed for returners to refresh your knowledge and skills, and help your transition back into the workplace after a career break of two years or more.

Making an impact is more than just what we do: it's why we're here. So we work hard to create an environment where you can experience a purpose you believe in, the freedom to be you, and the capacity to go further than ever before.

A career at Deloitte is an opportunity to develop in any direction you choose. Join us and you'll experience a purpose you can believe in and an impact you can see. You'll be free to bring your true self to work every day. And you'll never stop growing, whatever your level.
