4. Maintain and continually enhance your technical capabilities, staying at the cutting edge of the latest developments and bringing forth ideas to support our clients.
5. Assist with the development of more junior staff through coaching, delegation and on-the-job training.
6. Work as part of a multi-jurisdictional/disciplinary team within tax and across other service lines in terms of pursuing and delivering engagements.
7. Manage engagement economics through accurate and thorough budgeting, communication and tracking.
8. Take a central role in the enhancement of our operating model, joining us on a journey of continuous improvement, refinement and best-in-class delivery.
9. Role model behaviour that exemplifies personal and professional wellbeing in all aspects, driving a healthy and attractive business environment.
