What you’ll be doing

  • Generating new business opportunities and converting leads into long-term client partnerships.
  • Building, maintaining and deepening relationships with referral partners and direct clients alike.
  • Taking ownership of your pipeline - from first conversation to signed agreement - while providing an exceptional client experience along the way.
  • Representing the business with credibility and expertise across the R&D tax community.
  • Working closely with leadership to shape and execute commercial strategy during a high-growth phase.

What we’re looking for

  • 3–5+ years’ experience in R&D tax is essential.
  • Proven track record of developing successful referral partnerships and/or direct client relationships.
  • A strong understanding of the R&D tax process and the needs of clients across a range of sectors.
  • Entrepreneurial energy - you thrive in smaller, fast-moving teams where your ideas can shape the way things are done.
  • Ideally based in or around London, with flexibility to work remotely and visit the office once a week.

Why this role?

This is an immensely exciting period for the business. You’ll be joining at a time when decisions are made quickly, growth is visible, and your impact is immediate. If slow-moving hierarchies and endless sign-offs make your skin crawl, this is your chance to work somewhere that rewards initiative, creativity and results.

Your voice will be heard. Your work will be seen. And your career will grow alongside the company’s expansion.
