Companies, investors and government entities around the world turn to Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) for leadership, action and results. Privately held since its founding in 1983, A&M is a leading global professional services firm that provides Tax advisory, business performance improvement and turnaround management services. When conventional approaches are not enough to create transformation and drive change, clients seek our deep expertise and ability to deliver practical solutions to their unique problems.

With over 11,000 people providing services across six continents, we deliver tangible results for corporates, boards, private equity firms, law firms and government agencies facing complex challenges.

A&M’s Tax practice is made up of experienced international tax law professionals dedicated to providing customized tax advice to clients and investors across a broad range of industries. Since inception, the global tax team at A&M has enjoyed exponential growth. Our team has grown to over 1200 professionals across the globe, and we are now looking to further continue this growth in Switzerland. Our tax practice offers the opportunity to work without audit conflict and truly act as a trusted business advisor to our clients.

A&M’s Switzerland Tax Team takes a truly holistic approach to the market, offering expertise across a diverse range of services – from Global Transaction Tax (GTT) to Global Minimum Tax (GMT), Indirect Tax, Private Equity Funds Tax Compliance, People Services, Corporate Tax and Tax Compliance Services, Operating Model Optimization and Transfer Pricing.

To further grow and strengthen our team, we are seeking talents fit for the roles as Manager and/or (Assistant) Director (m/f/d) to join our growing Tax team in Switzerland. These roles offer an exciting opportunity for professionals with a solid foundation in tax to take over responsibility and develop their expertise further. These positions offer substantial growth potential within one of the fastest-expanding tax practices worldwide.

What will you be doing?

Coming in as a Manager or (Assistant) Director (m/f/d) you will have the opportunity to navigate complex tax matters as our clients expand their M&A operations, reorganize portfolio companies and/or work through cross-border restructurings.

As part of your journey, you will be leading a number of high quality projects that could include the following:

Provide advanced analyses and strategic advice on complex or controversial tax issues, translating these into actionable and practical solutions
Leading buy-side and sell-side transaction tax projects (i.e. create tax due diligence reports, transaction structuring reports and file tax rulings with Swiss tax authorities)
Take an active role in cross-border transactions, working closely with clients and tax authorities (including tax rulings and / or negotiations with authorities on various tax matters)
Engaging with Swiss-based and international GTT Projects
Leading projects aimed at improving tax compliance and efficiency

Coming into the team, you will have the opportunity to collaborate and work with various service lines and subject-matter specialists in fields such as indirect tax, transfer pricing and management incentive programs. This will allow you to deepen and broaden your tax skillset while having the opportunity to specialize over time (and the more senior you are).

As a Manager or (Assistant) Director (m/f/d), you will take on a leadership position, guiding and mentoring more junior colleagues on their path to becoming Swiss certified tax experts and beyond. In addition, you will collaborate closely with senior leadership, contributing to strategic decisions across business development, client pitches, and marketing initiatives, making a real impact with your ideas and insights.

What can we offer you?

Joining our team, your role will be varied, dynamic and you will have the opportunity to work with prime clients and global players in various industry sectors around the globe.

This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing market player during an exciting “start-up phase” of the Swiss tax team. As a Manager or (Assistant) Director (m/f/d), your role will go far beyond technical delivery. You will actively shape our growth by engaging in business development and driving client acquisition. You will be encouraged to step out into the market, build your personal brand, and contribute to our visibility through industry events and targeted networking. The more experienced you are, the more this will naturally be expected.

In essence, you can look forward to:

Leadership: Growing EMEA leadership team and high-quality colleagues to work with in a fun and collegiate environment.
An inclusive and diverse surrounding where employees are able to bring their full self to work, to feel that they belong and give them a voice and to ensure that this voice is heard.
Career development: A&M is rapidly expanding. The opportunities for internal career progression as A&M Tax grows are visible and tangible. By removing any external factors that you as an individual cannot control, A&M has a well-structured performance review process which enables individuals to be promoted at the right time with no restrictions. As the Global Tax team looks to strive to collaborate as one global team, international secondments could also become available.
Technical development: Even as a Swiss certified tax expert, your professional growth does not stop there. We actively support your continued development, whether it’s deepening your technical expertise or building a specialized focus in key industries such as financial services, real estate or the TMT sector. Through tailored client engagements, knowledge sharing, and close collaboration with our senior leadership, you will have the opportunity to position yourself as a go-to expert in your field and expand your impact, both within the team and in the market.

Remuneration: A&M offers a competitive salary and an excellent and genuinely performance related bonus scheme where individuals’ contribution to the team’s success is identified during the year.

At best you already have the following qualifications:

At least 4-5 years of relevant work experience in tax advisory, gained from a leading tax consultancy (for Manager; correspondingly more for Assistant Director / Director). Preferably with a focus on transaction tax (M&A), but this is not a must.
You have successfully passed the Swiss certified tax expert exam (diplomierte/r Steuerexpertin/Steuerexperte) and ideally bring at least one year of experience in a Manager role (or above), demonstrating your ability to lead projects and drive client relationships.
A solid understanding of (complex & controversial) GTT tax concepts and their practical application to resolve client-specific challenges.
Exemplary leadership skills: You enjoy managing more junior team members and contributing to their education by mentoring them. You feel passionate about developing people on all stages of their career.
Detail-oriented with good organizational and analytical skills.
Strong motivation for continuous learning and professional growth in Tax advisory.
Entrepreneurial and client-focused mindset, supporting our rapidly growing tax practice.
Strong communication skills in German and English, with the ability to present complex matters clearly.

If you want to be part of A&M’s success story and would like to grow in a dynamic environment, we are looking forward to your application.
