Connect to your opportunity

This is a role for an ambitious Manager or Associate Director to join, and help grow, the infrastructure lifecycle tax team.

Against the backdrop of governments' increased focus on the push to net zero carbon emissions, energy transition and security, investment in infrastructure to stimulate economic and productivity growth, and digitalisation - an increasing amount of private capital is being directed at infrastructure and renewable energy businesses leading to increased M&A activity in this area.

In addition to investing in its M&A tax team focused on infrastructure and energy transactions, to gain market share in the tax advisory market focused on infrastructure and energy businesses held by private financial investors, Deloitte is investing in growing its infrastructure lifecycle team.

Similar to teams focused on advising private equity backed businesses, the infrastructure lifecycle team focuses on providing tax advice to infrastructure and energy businesses over the investment lifecycle: From acquisition, through development/growth and related transactions (e.g. refinancings, mergers, capex, bolt-on acquisitions), the optimisation of their operational structure and supply chain, the efficient investment and repatriation of profits, readiness for exit, and ultimately disposal.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Working with the Infrastructure M&A team to identify lifecycle opportunities;
• Developing and building-out direct relationships with clients and targets;
• Delivering tax advice to infrastructure and energy businesses over the investment lifecycle;
• Liaising with our tax compliance and reporting teams to assist with reflecting lifecycle tax advice in tax accounting disclosures, computations and returns (prepared by Deloitte's dedicated tax compliance and reporting teams);
• Supporting the Infrastructure M&A partners to manage and grow existing relationships and foster new (non-transactional) relationships (e.g. with asset managers, fund finance teams and portfolio group management teams);
• Supporting the development of team members;
• Developing and building-out internal relationships across service lines across the business;
• Assisting with the design and development of collateral to support internal and external business development;
• Involvement in lifecycle team communications to stakeholders, the team, and at client events.

Connect to your skills and professional experience

• ACA/CTA/Law qualification or equivalent
• Previous infrastructure advisory and transactional experience
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to manage and develop client relationships within a relevant sector

Connect to your business - Tax

Tax

Our comprehensive range of services encompasses everything from the completion of tax returns (corporation tax self-assessment) to complex consultancy assignments and strategic tax planning. We advise on corporate and general tax, international M&A, stamp tax, cross-border transfer pricing, reorganisations and reconstructions, and competent authority negotiations.

Personal independence

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
