    2. Drive commercial performance by identifying and implementing new opportunities for additional billing, special projects, and contributing to departmental sales targets, including leading on sales decisions.
    3. Build strong relationships with other London office departments and the wider Zedra group, promoting effective cross-departmental client service, collaboration, and problem-solving on complex challenges.
    4. Oversee VAT new business proposal processes, collaborating with the VAT team to prepare commercial and accurate proposals and engagement letters for new client opportunities.
    5. Review VAT returns for significant and complex clients.
    6. Win, assist, and lead on special VAT project work, liaising with seniors as appropriate.
    7. Manage WIP and billing for your portfolio of clients.
    8. Assist with the appraisal process for the team, including collecting feedback from team members.
    9. Ensure ongoing training and development, keep exams and CPD records up to date.
    10. Complete accurate timesheets and oversee timesheet reviews and approvals for reporting lines.

    Knowledge & Experience

    1. Professionally qualified with ICAEW, ACCA, or CTA.
    2. 5+ years post-qualification experience with extensive management of a medium-sized team.
    3. Ability to grow and develop team members and foster a positive working environment.
    4. Excellent UK VAT knowledge and the ability to share that knowledge with the team and colleagues.
    5. Strong ability to work with seniors and leaders to deploy strategies and develop the commercial offering.
    6. International VAT experience and awareness.
    7. Strong commercial skills, including budget setting, time and cost management, and achieving sales targets.
    8. Ability to develop a professional network that may present new client opportunities.
    9. Ability to work under pressure and handle client service issues effectively.
    10. Experience working with a global network of Local Service Providers to deliver timely, quality advice.
