Job Description:

Customs Assistant Manager

Customs and excise rules are complex, globally varied and always changing.

And it can be difficult complying with the many different international trade regulations, especially when in-house expertise is in short supply.

If your business is looking for growth overseas by importing and exporting, it will face customs duty. The amount you pay depends on the exact nature and value of the goods being imported, the country of origin, and any available relief. However, you'll need to know you've paid the right duty in the right location, and to stay competitive, consider how your selling prices reflect these costs. At Grant Thornton, we're here to help.

Who we're looking for:

You'll have a genuine interest in our clients. We want to provide a distinctive service and

unlock potential for growth in dynamic organisations.

You'll know that what you do matters. As an organisation we want to be known for how we

do business, not simply what we do. So, we need people who know that every act matters

from the simple things to the insights we bring to clients.

You'll seize opportunities. We want to adapt quickly and wisely to changing conditions to

optimise growth for both our clients and ourselves.

You'll apply critical reasoning to bring clarity and insight. We do it by asking great questions,

listening and drawing on our collective knowledge and experience to really help others grow.

Education, experience and qualifications:

you'll have gained experience working within a professional services environment
you’ll possess working knowledge of UK corporate tax legislation
you’ll have achieved your ACA/CTA qualification
