The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant or tax specialist (ACA / CTA) with a strong background in property taxes and ideally some experience or exposure to treasury issues. This would suit a candidate coming out of one of the specialist Real Estate / Property tax teams within the Big 4 / Top 10 and looking to use that technical experience to further their career in a commercial environment, where they will be able to put a real stamp on the business processes and operations from a tax perspective. Suffice to say, applicants will need to demonstrate excellent communication skills, as well as a positive, pro-active attitude, and the confidence to face off to senior stakeholders.
