Manchester, United Kingdom Grant Thornton Full time
Job Description

NEW GROUND WON'T BREAK ITSELF.

At Grant Thornton, our teams empower businesses and communities to achieve their goals by doing what is right. Our Reward Advisory Services (RAS) team plays a crucial role in our Employer Solutions offering, working closely with clients to design and implement effective employee incentive arrangements for a wide range of private AIM and FTSE listed companies.

To grow our North RAS practice, we need specialist practitioners on the ground supported by our national RAS practice and local stakeholders. We offer flexible working arrangements, including reduced hours and job shares, to help you balance your work and life.

A Look into the Role

We are seeking an Equity Reward specialist to lead our Northern RAS practice, with a track record of delivering high-quality employee incentives work. Ideally, you will be based in Manchester, but this is not essential. If you have a successful track record of winning work in the market and leading and growing a team, this is a great opportunity for you.

As an Associate Director in our Reward Advisory Services, Tax team, you will:

  • Work primarily with mid-market clients, providing highly technical reward advice in a commercial and practical context.
  • Deliver equity reward projects, and implementation of share plans, and specialist tax support on transactions.
  • Be part of the national Reward Advisory Services (RAS) service line, within the wider Employer Solutions team incorporating Employment Tax and Global Mobility Services.
  • Manage graduates and trainees and help with their development.
  • Support our Partners and Directors through proactively targeting and developing new clients as well as leading client engagements.
  • Take responsibility for managing client accounts and lead on day-to-day client relationships. You will also take a lead in developing and delivering on the team's business development and go-to-market strategy.
What We're Looking For

Joining us as an Associate Director, you will need tax experience within Equity Reward. You will have a professional qualification (CTA / ATT / ACA) or equivalent, or be a qualified lawyer.

We expect you to have the majority of the following skills:

  • Technical expertise designing and implementing employee incentive plans.
  • An excellent record of client service and an ability to manage your time efficiently working to tight deadlines.
  • A proactive approach to the management of client projects including taking responsibility for billing and fee management.
  • Experience of business development or a desire to develop the relevant skills.
  • Document implementation (drafting), and/or modelling skills.
Why Choose Us

We are a firm that thrives on the contributions of all our people. Our culture is inclusive, respectful, and values difference. We empower our people to perform at their best and realize their potential.

We believe in giving back to society and making a positive impact. Our CLEARR values - Collaboration, Leadership, Excellence, Agility, Respect, and Responsibility - guide everything we do.

We are looking for people who want to contribute, spark fresh ideas, and go beyond expectations. If you are a motivated and ambitious professional who wants to make a difference, we want to hear from you.
