As you develop in this role you will start to analyse tax technical information before sharing that information with key stakeholders.

- You'll have good communication skills; influencing and working effectively with technical and non-technical audiences, asking intelligent questions and being able to share complex or difficult messages in a user friendly manner.
- Whilst a tax qualification would be beneficial, it is more important you have an ability to learn quickly as well as lots of enthusiasm.
- Experience of or an interest in data analysis/ real time information sharing
- No specialist IT knowledge is required, though you must be confident in using MS Outlook, Word and Excel.
