(Senior) Manager Financial Services Tax - International Tax and Transaction Services (ITTS)

As a (Senior) Manager within Financial Services, you will work for leading national and international financial institutions, including banks, insurers, asset managers, pension funds, investment funds, private equity firms, and FinTechs.

The financial sector is in constant motion. New tax laws and regulations, changing supervisory expectations, international restructurings, transactions, sustainable investments, and technological developments create challenging tax issues. Within EY, you help clients translate these developments into practical, future-proof solutions.

Do you have extensive experience in international tax advisory practice and the ambition to play a visible role both technically and commercially? Additionally, do you want to contribute to the development of junior colleagues and the further growth of our practice? If so, we would love to meet you.

As a (Senior) Manager, you will work on strategic tax trajectories within a complex and regulated sector. Think of restructurings, investments, transactions, financing structures, dividend tax and withholding tax issues, tax governance, and other developments affecting financial institutions.

You combine technical depth with a sense for commerce and leadership. This makes you a strong interlocutor for clients and colleagues, and you provide direction to advisory trajectories in which multiple disciplines and countries converge.

As you bring more seniority, the emphasis lies more strongly on independently leading complex assignments, expanding client relationships, and identifying opportunities in the market.

This broad expertise ensures a dynamic practice in which collaboration, knowledge sharing, and an integrated client approach are central.

Together with an ambitious and technically strong team, you will work on challenging assignments for leading organizations within the financial sector. In doing so, you will regularly collaborate with EY colleagues from other countries and with specialists from other disciplines. Personal growth and development are central, with plenty of room for your own initiative, entrepreneurship, and building an international network.

• First interview with the department's recruitment team;
• Second interview with potential future colleagues from the practice;
• Competency assessment;
• Pre-employment screening.

Part of the application procedure is an online assessment and a pre-employment screening. Due to laws and regulations and because EY and, in some cases, its clients place high demands on the reliability and integrity of employees, every new employee is screened. Depending on the job level, the pre-employment screening may consist of a Certificate of Conduct (VOG) or, if no VOG can be requested in the Netherlands, a Criminal Background Check from the country where you currently live or have lived for the past five years, an integrity questionnaire, verification of ID, diplomas and/or work experience, and consultation of the Central Insolvency Register.
