About this opportunity:

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated individual to join the Group Tax Insurance team as an assistant manager.

You'll become a key player in ensuring that LBG's Life Assurance company, Scottish Widows Ltd, meets its tax compliance and reporting obligations.

The role will be focussed on meeting Corporation Tax compliance, monthly statutory reporting and quarterly regulatory reporting obligations. This includes responsibilities for Scottish Widows Limited, as well as consolidated reporting for the Insurance & Wealth division.

What you'll be doing:

• Working in a team of 6-7 colleagues to ensure that Corporation Tax compliance, monthly statutory reporting and quarterly regulatory reporting obligations are met. This includes responsibilities for LBG's life and pensions company (Scottish Widows Limited) as well as consolidated reporting for the Insurance & Wealth division.
• Challenge and improve existing tax processes.
• Help ensure tax risks are identified and effective controls are in place.
• Work closely with actuarial and finance colleagues to provide tax input.
• Build strong relationships with the business, deliver value-add tax advice on compliance and reporting matters.

About us:

If you think all banks are the same, you'd be wrong. We're an innovative, fast-changing business that's shaping finance as a force for good. A bank that's empowering its people to innovate, explore possibilities and grow with purpose.

What you'll need:

• Qualified or nearly-qualified accountant or tax adviser.
• Strong communication skills.
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to contribute to the wider Group Tax team and to work with the team to act seamlessly as local business partner to Insurance & Wealth colleagues.
• Strong analytical skills.
• Knowledge or experience of life tax or insurance accounting would be helpful but not essential.
• Readiness to learn and embrace new challenges.

About working for us

Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms.

We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture.

We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative.

And it's why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups.

We're disability confident. So, if you'd like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
