    Job description

    Roles and Responsibilities

    An opportunity has arisen in our insurance tax team, specifically focused on the life insurance part of the market. The team provides tax advisory, tax compliance and tax audit services in the life insurance sector, with advisory work spanning a range of corporate, M&A and product tax issues.

    KPMG's Insurance tax team, part of the wider FS tax team, is a group of around thirty tax professionals of all grades with a strong market reputation working with leading global and UK insurance groups.

    The role involves leading delivery across a range of tax advisory, M&A tax, tax compliance and tax audit engagements in the sector. In addition to delivery, the role will include building client relationships as part of wider client service teams and embedding tax into opportunities where relevant, as well as taking tax propositions to clients.

    Another key aspect of the role is to be a role model in terms of knowledge sharing and coaching staff so that they build their life insurance tax specialism and we have a team ready to meet market demand.

    The role is a national role. Applications will be welcomed from candidates in any location, with Edinburgh and London being preferred base office locations.
