• Broad technical knowledge of Luxembourg taxation, with experience covering several tax areas, including VAT.
• Ability to analyse complex tax matters, develop practical solutions and manage files with a high degree of autonomy.
• Strong drafting, analytical and communication skills, combined with a client-oriented and commercially minded approach.
• Excellent command of both French and English, at native or near-native level.
• A proactive, collaborative mindset and the ability to build trusted relationships with clients and colleagues.

The Offer
