Tax Underwriter

Job description

A leading global insurance group is seeking to hire a Tax Underwriter as it continues to expand its transactional risk offering. With a strong international platform, deep carrier relationships, and an ambitious growth strategy, the business is well-placed to deliver continued growth across Europe.

This is a unique opportunity for a German qualified tax lawyer with first-class private corporate tax experience to transition into underwriting.

The successful candidate will be responsible for assessing, structuring, and underwriting tax liability policies across a wide range of cross-border transactions. Working closely with brokers, advisors, and deal teams, this role will place you at the heart of high-value international M&A activity.

You will underwrite tax liability insurance policies for complex, high-value transactions, reviewing transaction documents, diligence reports, and deal structures to identify and assess risk. In addition, you will lead underwriting projects while managing and developing strong relationships with brokers, law firms, and clients across Europe.

The ideal candidate will be a German qualified lawyer with 3-8 years' PQE gained at a recognised international or leading domestic firm. You will bring strong corporate or M&A experience with a proven track record of leading on the tax aspects of transactions and advising on cross-border deals. As a confident communicator, you will be able to engage credibly with senior deal professionals, while demonstrating the ambition, proactivity, and drive required to build a successful career in an M&A-driven market.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a tax lawyer to leverage their deal experience in a dynamic underwriting role. The group offers a highly competitive compensation package, exposure to marquee international transactions, and a supportive environment with clear progression opportunities.
