What if your next career move came with ocean views, warm evenings and a commute measured in minutes rather than hours? Imagine finishing a demanding day of US Tax work and, instead of sitting in traffic or on a crowded train, walking by the water, swimming in the Atlantic, playing a few holes of golf, sailing as the sun goes down, or simply enjoying dinner outside in the warm evening air. This is Bermuda, and for an experienced US Tax Manager with insurance or reinsurance experience, it could also be your next career move. We are working with a leading international professional services firm in Bermuda that is looking to strengthen its US Tax team with a Manager who can bring strong insurance and reinsurance expertise. The Opportunity You will work with sophisticated international insurance and reinsurance clients, managing US Tax engagements from planning through to delivery. This is a genuine client-facing Manager role where you will be expected to bring technical expertise, commercial judgement and strong people-management skills. Your work will include:

  • US Tax compliance and advisory work
  • Preparing and reviewing tax returns and associated filings
  • Working with multinational insurance and reinsurance groups
  • Managing client relationships
  • Leading engagements from start to finish
  • Reviewing the work of junior team members
  • Coaching and developing Associates and Senior Associates
  • Working closely with senior leadership
  • Supporting wider client and industry activity

There may also be opportunities to gain exposure to funds, asset management and Bermuda corporate income tax work. What We Are Looking For You will ideally have:

  • 5+ years’ progressive US Tax experience gained in a client-facing role, not a service centre
  • Strong insurance and/or reinsurance tax experience
  • Experience with relevant US insurance tax filings
  • Exposure to sophisticated or multinational clients
  • End-to-end, client-facing tax experience
  • Strong review and project-management skills
  • Experience coaching or managing junior team members
  • A strong Big Four background, ideally current or previous

A US CPA, Enrolled Agent or US legal qualification would be highly desirable. However, exceptional candidates with the right US insurance tax experience may still be considered if they are willing to obtain the appropriate qualification after joining. Candidates working outside the United States are very welcome to apply. Why Bermuda? Because this move is about more than the job. Bermuda offers the chance to maintain a high-level international career while changing what life looks and feels like outside work. Think:

  • Warm sea air
  • Blue water and pink-sand beaches
  • Outdoor dining
  • Sailing and watersports
  • Golf after work
  • Coastal runs
  • Shorter commutes
  • Bright winters
  • A close international professional community
  • More time outdoors and less time travelling to and from the office

You can still work hard, still advise sophisticated clients and still build your career – but in a place where the end of the working day can feel very different. For many people, that is the real attraction. Career & Team You will join an international Tax team with close access to senior leadership and a clear progression route through to Partner. Promotion is based on performance rather than simply time served. The firm is particularly interested in someone who combines strong technical knowledge with genuine people leadership. Package Base salary: from US$117,000 (practically no tax)

  • Generous Bonus
  • 25 days’ annual leave
  • Christmas firm closure
  • Pension
  • Medical cover
  • Life and long-term disability insurance
  • Club/wellbeing allowance
  • Mobile plan
  • International training opportunities
