A look into the role

As an Associate Director within our Innovation taxes team, you will:

1. Lead from the front in delivering client work, engaging the R&D tax and wider tax teams to ensure correct skill utilisation on all projects.
2. Take responsibility for developing more junior team members, understanding their career aspirations and supporting in this delivery.

Knowing you’re right for us

You must have experience in managing and gathering R&D requirements across your specialist field, managing internal and external stakeholders and working within set project timeframes. You’ll have the ability to talk about tax and sector specific technical projects and ask key questions to achieve a deeper understanding of the objectives and the work done. Monitoring junior team members’ work and coaching them through their career aspirations is an important aspect of the role.

Joining us as an Associate Director, the minimum criteria you’ll need is a professional qualification (ACA, ICAS, CA, ATT, CTA) with current experience in innovation taxes. You will be confident managing a large portfolio of clients.

Knowing we’re right for you

Embracing uniqueness, the culture at Grant Thornton thrives on the contributions of all our people. Building an inclusive culture, where we value difference and respect our colleagues helps our people to perform at the best of their ability and realise their potential. Our open and accessible culture means you’ll interact with leaders who are interested in you and everything you bring to our firm.

Beyond the job

Life is more than work. The things you do, and the people you’re with outside of work matter, that’s why we’re happy to look at flexible working options for all our roles. The impact you can make here will go far beyond your day job. From secondments to fundraising for local charities, or investing in entrepreneurs in the developing world, you’ll be giving back to society. It’s that drive to do the right thing that runs through our every move, grounded in our CLEARR values – Collaboration, Leadership, Excellence, Agility, Respect and Responsibility.
