The role will be focused on working with other team members to deliver a wide range of corporate tax services to our insurance clients. There will be opportunities to develop a deep knowledge and experience of the insurance sector and get exposure to a wider variety of areas of tax including mergers & acquisitions, international tax, finance & treasury tax, tax audits and group restructuring. 

The role will involve working closely with other tax professionals within the team and at our insurance clients, providing significant development opportunities that arise in working in a market leading team
