Real Estate Tax - Senior Manager

As a senior manager in our real estate tax practice, you'll have the opportunity to work with our marquee clients on some of the largest real estate transactions in the Irish marketplace, as well as managing the relationships with these clients, and driving the delivery of quality tax planning and compliance services. In return, you can expect the support of a close knit and cohesive team, with engaging colleagues, and you’ll be presented with a significant opportunity to progress your career to a senior level in a rapidly growing tax sub-service line within a dynamic and ever expanding EY Tax and Law practice.

Our practice area has trebled in size over the last three years, and we have ambitious plans to continue that growth. With assistance from a very supportive and integrated team you can expect to enhance and develop your tax technical skills, your management techniques, your client relationship skills and commercial experience. You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of projects, to manage account and client relationships and to mentor our trainees and more junior management colleagues, as well as learning new skills and taking on new responsibilities as they arise.

Our purpose is– our clients are building, developing and investing in the infrastructure we see around us every day and you’ll have the opportunity to play a key role as a trusted advisor in supporting these projects. You will also support our government and semi-state organisations, where EY has an extensive client base, with real estate tax related matters, including advising on tax compliance frameworks and policies.

Your key responsibilities

You'll spend your time on a diverse array of projects, responsibilities and tasks. One of the main focal points of you work will be advising on transactions against the backdrop of the increasingly complex international tax environment. This will include, in particular, due diligence in relation to asset and corporate acquisitions, and advising on the structuring of investments and development projects. A significant element of our work comprises supporting our colleagues in our international network and advising their clients on inbound investment and development opportunities in Ireland. In this context, we have a very strong international real estate network, and we work in a very integrated way with our colleagues across the network. Our team is essentially a sub-set of a much larger international real estate tax team that operates in a seamless and cohesive manner across jurisdictions. This creates very significant opportunities in an Irish context given the level of international investment in real estate in Ireland.
