Deals Tax Associate Director, Real Estate

A leading global professional services firm is looking to appoint a Senior Manager into its growing Deal Advisory Tax team, specialising in Real Estate transactions.

This opportunity is particularly well suited to ambitious tax professionals currently working within the mid-market who are seeking greater transaction exposure, stronger brand recognition and more complex client work, whilst retaining the collaborative environment that has helped drive their success so far.

Many professionals hesitate before moving into a larger organisation because they worry about becoming a small part of a very large machine.

This team offers a different proposition.

You'll join a highly connected and supportive group where Partners and Directors remain actively involved in transaction delivery, development and mentoring. The culture is genuinely collaborative, and significant investment is made into technical training, coaching and long-term career progression.

The Opportunity

The team advises a wide range of clients across the investment lifecycle, including:

• Real Estate Funds
• International Asset Managers
• Institutional Investors
• Pension Funds
• Sovereign Wealth Funds
• Private Equity-backed businesses

You'll gain exposure to transactions ranging from mid-market investments through to some of the largest and most complex deals in the market.

This creates an ideal environment for candidates who want to build their experience progressively, developing confidence across increasingly sophisticated transactions rather than being immediately specialised into a narrow area.

What You'll Be Doing

As an Associate Director, you will:

• Lead and manage real estate transaction tax projects
• Advise clients on acquisitions, disposals, restructurings and refinancing transactions
• Deliver buy-side and sell-side tax due diligence
• Support transaction structuring and execution
• Work closely with legal advisers, corporate finance professionals and international tax specialists
• Build and maintain key client relationships
• Contribute to business development activities, proposals and pitches
• Mentor, coach and develop junior members of the team
• Take an active role in shaping the future growth of the practice

Why This Role Stands Out

Big Platform, Small Team Feel

The successful candidate will benefit from the resources, reputation and deal flow of a global firm whilst remaining part of a close-knit team that values collaboration and individual development.

Outstanding Development

The team has an excellent reputation for:

• Structured technical training
• Strong Partner accessibility
• Hands-on mentoring
• Leadership development
• Clear promotion pathways

Diverse Transaction Exposure

You won't be restricted solely to mega-deals.

The team advises across the full deal spectrum, allowing you to develop a balanced skillset through exposure to both mid-market and large-cap transactions.

Long-Term Career Progression

Whether your ambition is to become a Director, Partner, or recognised specialist within Real Estate Deal Tax, you'll have the opportunity to build a long-term career within a growing and ambitious team.

About You

We're interested in speaking with candidates who have:

• CTA, ACA, CA or equivalent professional qualification
• Strong UK corporate tax experience
• Exposure to transaction tax, deal advisory tax or M&A tax assignments
• Excellent project management and stakeholder management skills
• Strong commercial awareness
• Previous experience coaching and developing junior staff
• The ambition to progress within a high-performing deals environment

Applications are particularly welcomed from tax professionals currently working within mid-tier, national or regional firms who are seeking greater transaction exposure and a broader platform for future career growth.

Interested?

If you're exploring a move into a top-tier deal advisory environment but want to retain the support, accessibility and culture that have helped you succeed so far, this is a role well worth discussing.

All enquiries will be handled in the strictest confidence.
