Job 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.

10+ 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:

Medical insurance coverage to support your well-being.
Opportunity to be a part of a world-class, high-performance team.
A dynamic and collaborative work environment.
