International Tax Adviser, Investment Organisation, London, to £90k

Investment organisation looking to recruit an International Tax Adviser - based in Central London.

Your new role

I'm currently working with an investment organisation that has recently expanded into a number of new territories. This expansion has facilitated the need to recruit an International Tax Adviser to sit within the group tax function base in Central London.

The Tax function sits within the groups Legal, Tax and Corporate Secretarial team. Whilst the successful candidate will report into the Head of Tax, he or she will, necessarily, work closely with group finance, legal and investment teams.

The Role Reporting to the Head of Tax, an opportunity has arisen to appoint an International Tax Adviser to assist with the management of the groups wider operational tax affairs; this will include identifying tax risks and sound planning opportunities; to ensure compliance with local regulations; to support the group as it starts to develop new business opportunities and implements new investment products; and to help develop the groups strategy and policies on tax.

Responsibilities Tax Operations and Compliance:

* Act as a tax business partner on UK and international tax issues including providing advice on the groups international growth strategy and to plan and manage direct tax exposures in relation to permanent establishment risk and transfer pricing;

What you'll need to succeed

* A self-starter - able to work independently with a willingness to "muck in" and get involved in all areas of the business where required;
* An effective team player with strong communication, organisational and interpersonal skills;
* International tax experience is essential. UK tax experience is preferable but not essential.
