About The Role

FTI Consulting has a successful and rapidly growing employment tax and reward advisory business, providing technically minded but commercially focused and pragmatic advice. Our services include all aspects of tax and reward issues for employers such as payroll health checks, due diligence, assisting with HMRC enquiries, providing advice on expense and benefits arrangements (including PAYE settlement agreements, termination payments, disguised remuneration, employment rated share schemes), employment status and off-payroll worker issues. We also provide advice and support for international issues (such as non-resident directors, short term busines visitors, international assignment planning, and specialised payroll arrangements such as modified and shadow payrolls). We also support employers in creating attractive reward packages, aiding with the planning, implementation, and operation of share schemes, and carried interest / promote arrangements.

The employment tax and reward business help clients across the whole of the FTI tax advisory team and therefore covers a wide range of sectors, with extensive experience in the life sciences, relate estate, and private equity (both at house and portfolio company level).

We are seeking a Director to support the senior team in providing reward and tax advisory services across our clients within the employment tax and reward team with a primary focus on reward led advice.

The role will be highly varied, covering the range of issues above but with a focus on reward (particularly the design, planning, and implementation of management incentive plans). The role will focus primarily on advisory services. The role forms a great link between the employment tax and reward business and the wider tax advisory and corporate finance team and will form a key part of this growing arm of our tax advisory business.

What You’ll Do

· Supporting the senior team with reward advisory, and employment tax advisory, services for our client base

· Developing our management incentives offering and taking a key role in delivering the design, implementation, and tax advice relating to reward arrangements for our clients

· Leading due diligence work relating to employment related securities

· Delegating work to and managing the junior members of the wider employment tax and reward team, and beyond

· Assisting the senior team with employment tax and reward elements of transaction and advisory projects as required

· Actively keeping up to date on technical matters and dealing with detailed technical queries raised, coordinating the preparation of practical, robustly supported advice

· Taking ownership of projects in relation to WIP management and billing

· Undertaking training both for clients and internally as required

We are committed to investing and supporting you in your professional development and we have developed a range of programs focused on fostering leadership, growth and development opportunities. We aim to promote continuous learning and individual skills development through on-the-job learning, self-guided professional development courses and certifications. You’ll be assigned a dedicated coach to mentor, guide and support you through regular coaching sessions and serve as an advocate for your professional growth.
