The Opportunity

This role is designed for a senior tax leader who can help shape and expand the Corporate Tax offering in London. The successful candidate will play a central role in leading the team, overseeing a portfolio of large and complex clients, and collaborating across specialist tax disciplines to deliver integrated, strategic advice.

The client portfolio is diverse, spanning both UK and international organisations with significant or complex UK operations. Many clients have limited in-house UK tax capability, meaning the FTI team often acts as a trusted extension of their finance function, providing broad and ongoing tax support.
