Alongside experience in leading a team of fellow professionals in the provision of a tax advisory service, you’ll need a track record in developing a strong and supportive internal and external stakeholder network to drive opportunities that can deliver robust customer outcomes, sustainable financial returns, collaboration, and more.

You’ll also bring:

- Communication skills, and the ability to make complex tax matters understood at all levels
- The ability to manage and delegate workloads without compromising service commitment and personal and team development
- Good interpersonal skills and the ability to influence people to make sure that support and commitment for tax issues is achieved at the correct level
