About the role:

The insurance industry provides financial protection and risk management by transferring and spreading the risks of unforeseen events, thereby providing the stability and confidence that individuals and organisations need to pursue their financial goals, protect and grow their capital, and support economic development and social welfare.


Our team of specialists support clients across all tax matters, whether domestic or international in nature. Within the Insurance market there are a range of businesses which have diverse operating models and tax needs, and we have staff experienced in working with businesses across the sector. We work with general insurers, life insurers, Lloyd's market, brokers and beyond.


Our Insurance team is one of the fastest growing areas of PwC's Financial Services tax advisory practice. In particular, our Insurance team works closely with our Asset, Wealth & Management team given the crossover between the two subsectors, particularly in the life insurance industry.

You will learn how to consider tax issues across the product value chain, insurance undertaking and policyholder, getting involved in work on major transactions, international structuring, technical compliance engagements, audit of tax and a range of day-to-day 'ad hoc' tax matters. As the team provides a range of international and non-tax services, you will be able to work closely with a range of other complementary specialists and thereby expand your knowledge of the industry. You will be responsible for building close relationships with a wide range of clients, working as part of a team and delivering the Firms tax services. You will benefit from a progressive environment where you will be encouraged to develop client relationships, technical and people management skills.

This role is for you if:

We are looking for motivated and ambitious candidates with excellent interpersonal skills. Ideally, you will have practical experience of working within one or more of the tax sub-sectors but this is not essential.
