Full job descriptionTax Director – International Tax Advisory A rare front-office advisory mandate has opened up within the in-house tax function of a global bank based in the City. This is a broad, senior-level seat reporting directly into the Head of Tax, blending hands-on advisory with real influence over transfer pricing, special projects and the bank’s wider international tax agenda.
Why This One’s DifferentMost in-house tax seats are compliance-heavy. This one isn’t. You’ll sit close to the trading and investment banking businesses, advising directly on new products, structures and transactions, genuine front-office exposure rather than a back-office reporting function.
