Desired Qualifications

Previous tax insurance underwriting experience is advantageous but not essential.

We're looking for an experienced Tax professional to join our growing Global Tax underwriting team. Based in Spain, you'll play a key role in the continued expansion of CFC's international tax insurance offering, working on complex and innovative tax risk solutions across Europe and global markets.

As part of a collaborative and highly specialised team, you'll support the underwriting of tax liability insurance policies covering a broad range of domestic, international and cross-border tax matters. While the team operates globally, including colleagues across North America and UK, this role will be primarily focused on opportunities within the European and international markets.

As a Tax Underwriter within our International Transaction Liability team, you will assess, structure and underwrite tax insurance solutions for a diverse portfolio of transactional tax risks. Working closely with Senior Underwriters and Team Leaders, you will support the evaluation, pricing and structuring of risks, coordinate underwriting processes, engage with brokers and advisers, and help deliver outstanding service to clients.

As your experience develops, you will take ownership of underwriting opportunities independently while continuing to support more complex transactions alongside senior team members. You will also contribute to broader team initiatives, including portfolio management, business development activities, operational improvements and the ongoing growth of CFC's tax insurance proposition.

Key Responsibilities will include but not limited to:

Assess, underwrite and price tax liability insurance risks across a wide range of tax disciplines and jurisdictions.
Independently lead lower and medium-complexity underwriting opportunities while supporting senior colleagues on larger or more complex risks.

Build strong relationships with brokers, clients and external advisers to support new business and portfolio growth.
Ensure compliance with CFC's underwriting guidelines, authorities, policies and procedures.

We're seeking an experienced professional with a background in tax advisory, tax law, accounting, transaction services or tax insurance underwriting. Previous tax insurance underwriting experience would be advantageous, but it is not essential.

You will bring strong technical expertise combined with commercial awareness, enabling you to assess complex tax matters and translate technical analysis into clear, practical underwriting recommendations.
