As one of the world's largest networks of audit, tax and consulting firms, RSM delivers big ideas and premium service to help middle‑market businesses thrive. We are a fast‑growing firm with big ambitions – we have a clear goal to become the premium adviser to the middle market, globally.

If you are looking for a firm where you can build a future and make an impact, then RSM is the place for you.

This role will form part of a team of managers and coordinators responsible for implementing and managing multi‑country, multi‑service outsourcing engagements. These engagements typically include coordinating the preparation of annual tax returns and financial statements for clients operating in ten or more countries. The preparation itself is delivered through a combination of RSM’s global network of local member firms and RSM UK’s automated service delivery teams. This is a fast‑growing business which is expanding rapidly and is a core component of the firm’s global growth strategy. Activities of the GCRS team cover the bid/proposal, pricing, implementation and delivery of these contracts. The GCRS team is the focal point in the UK and Europe for the management of all significant multi‑country outsourcing engagements, working to client relationship holders and to the Consulting leadership in the UK and globally. The role demands the highly proactive management of multiple concurrent engagements and proposals and so requires exceptional organisational skills.

• Drive commercial performance and business growth, leading tenders, onboarding new clients, managing fees, billing, and financial performance across your portfolio.
• Shape and strengthen the wider practice, contributing to recruitment, global network collaboration, service improvements, and departmental efficiency initiatives.
