Job description

This senior position leads complex engagements and helps grow the practice. Day-to-day engagement management sits with you, covering progress, deliverables, risk identification and escalation. Standardised processes need putting in place, along with performance improvements where delivery can be sharper.

High-performing teams report to you, and coaching junior members is part of building a positive learning culture. Every deliverable must meet EY's Tax Quality guidelines. Candidates bring at least 5 years of experience in domestic and international tax rules, ideally at a large professional services firm, with a strong background in tax accounting and tax auditing. Qualifications such as CA, CPA, ACCA, CTA or ADIT, or an MBA or related master's, are expected, and experience with multinational clients is valued.
