  • Leading complex client engagements for large and multinational businesses, coordinating specialists across teams
  • Running and growing a portfolio of client relationships, identifying opportunities and expanding existing accounts

  • Managing engagement economics across your portfolio, including budgets, recovery rates, and WIP/billing recommendations
  • Collaborating with colleagues across jurisdictions within the WTS Global network on cross-border projects
  • Generating new opportunities and supporting proposals and pitches
  • Developing Managers and junior team members, and managing performance and quality across multiple engagement teams
  • Championing our technology-enabled ways of working, using AI and digital tools to enhance delivery across your teams

  • Strong technical knowledge in one or more tax disciplines, with a track record of leading complex work
  • Commercial mindset with the ability to translate complex technical issues into clear, practical advice
