## Description

**Family Office** seeks a senior **tax professional** with experience in international tax structuring, tax optimization, and UHNW personal taxation across the **UK** and **Spain**. The role involves leading end-to-end tax strategy: identifying risks, designing solutions, coordinating local advisors, and delivering implementation-ready recommendations.  
  
**Responsibilities**  
  
**Strategy & Structuring**

-   Design and iterate **cross-border holding / operating / financing structures**.
-   Optimise **WHT/VAT/CT exposures**, treaty positioning, and financing flows (interest, fees, royalties, service charges and etc.).
-   Advise on **substance, beneficial ownership, anti-avoidance** risk controls (GAAR/SAAR, ATAD themes, principal purpose tests, etc. at a practical level).

**UHNW / UBO advisory**

-   Advise UBO on **residency planning, cross-border personal taxes**, and wealth structuring interfaces with corporate flows.
-   Review and improve **UBO loan structures** (taxability, documentation, arm’s-length, disclosure risk, exit/repayment planning).

**Risk management & controversy readiness**

-   Prepare the group for **authority/regulator questions**: what to disclose, how to respond, and how to keep consistency across filings and financial statements.
-   Coordinate external tax counsel in multiple jurisdictions; ensure outputs are consistent and implementation-ready.

**Operational**

-   Maintain a living **tax risk register** + roadmap (quarterly refresh).
-   Provide short weekly async updates + join key calls.

## Requirements

-   **15+ years** in international tax / private wealth tax (Big4 Partner / Big Law / top-tier boutique/family office equivalent).
-   Demonstrable experience with **UK + Spain** tax systems (corporate + personal) and how they interact in practice.
-   Strong track record of **group financing, cross-border structuring, and tax controversy/queries**.
-   Experience advising **UHNW individuals / family offices** (not just corporates).
-   Comfort with ambiguity, high confidentiality, and pragmatic execution

Nice-to-haves:

-   Dual-qualified (law + tax), CTA/ACA/solicitor background, or equivalent.
-   Prior involvement with **regulated environments** and frequent third-party inquiries (banks, auditors, authorities).
-   Experience simplifying complex structures without breaking business reality.

## Benefits

-   **Fully remote work**, giving you the freedom to work from anywhere.
-   Opportunity to be a part of a world-class, high-performance team.
-   A dynamic and collaborative work environment.
-   **Fully sponsored team-buildings** 1–2 times per yea**r** in stunning destinations around the world.
