A rare front-office advisory mandate has opened up within the in-house tax function of a global bank based in the City. This is a broad, senior-level seat reporting directly into the Head of Tax, blending hands-on advisory with real influence over transfer pricing, special projects and the bank's wider international tax agenda.
Why This One's Different
Most in-house tax seats are compliance-heavy. This one isn't. You'll sit close to the trading and investment banking businesses, advising directly on new products, structures and transactions, genuine front-office exposure rather than a back-office reporting function.
The Remit
- Advisory, close to the business
- Reviewing and signing off new products and business initiatives, assessing direct tax risk and compliance requirements
- Acting as a trusted partner across Compliance, Legal, Operations, HR and Finance to deliver practical, value-adding tax advice
- Managing a network of external advisors - briefing, challenging and sense-checking their output
- Legal/tax advisory input on ISDAs, GMSLAs and loan agreements
Projects that matter
- Partnering with the Head of Tax on one-off transactions, restructurings, M&A and new legislative requirements as they land
- Keeping the bank ahead of evolving rules - Pillar Two, MDR, anti-fraud provisions and international reporting schedules all currently in play
Transfer pricing
- Shaping TP policy and documentation from a global markets, commodities and investment banking lens
- Acting as the go-to contact for Finance, Treasury and Front Office on TP implementation
- Representing the bank's TP position to auditors and HMRC
Wider tax function
- Oversight input into corporate income tax and indirect tax risk, reporting and tax authority relationships
- Support on FATCA/CRS and related client tax reporting obligations
What You'll Bring
- Front-office advisory experience gained in-house
- A recognised accounting or tax qualification (CTA, ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
