Join to apply for the Innovations Assistant Manager role at Cooper Parry.
We have an exciting opportunity for someone to join our Innovation team as an R&D Incentives/Innovation Assistant Manager working on software/IT R&D tax claims. With true flexibility, you can choose to work from our London, Castle Donington or Birmingham offices.
Our CP Innovation team is more like a family, now 40 strong; we take care of each other, making sure we build something special that will endure. We are a high-performance unit comprised of people from a wide range of backgrounds including engineering, biotech, chemistry, IT and even an astrophysicist!
We support our clients through R&D tax incentives and Patent Box relief as well as through working with an ecosystem of advisors such as grants providers, patent attorneys and PE houses.
We’re looking for someone to join our team as an Innovation Assistant Manager (AM) who can:
1. Support R&D Delivery Managers on claims, frequently taking responsibility for many aspects of an engagement, and who can own a portfolio of smaller engagements. We pride ourselves on having a structured approach where expectations are clear. We couple this with creating a culture of safety where people feel empowered to put their hand up if they need help.
2. Deliver quality work on our exciting clients which sit across many industries.
3. Contribute to running client meetings (either face to face or by videocall), leading discussions about the technical and tax aspects of claims.
4. Support aspects of business development (BD), helping us grow our client base. We even get our most junior people involved in BD as it’s a critical part of the business.
5. Contribute to practice management whether that be training, recruitment, marketing etc. We think it’s key for everyone to understand how the Innovation business runs, top-to-bottom and inside-out. You might be running it one day, so you need to know.
6. Be a role model for junior members of the team. Supporting each other and helping others develop is key to our operating model.
The role will also be designed to help you grow and develop through your career journey. With access to a wide range of knowledge to help push yourself further - from Managers to Partners, the team are always happy to support you.
About You...
At Cooper Parry, we’re in it together. All we ask of our people is that they play all in. You’ll continuously strive to keep learning – whether you’re a trainee or a Partner – and you’ll be brave, stepping out of your comfort zone to tackle new challenges. Above all, be nice. A simple notion, but an irreplaceable part of what makes CP, CP.
As The Ideal Candidate You Will Have
* Experience in R&D tax claims from both a technical and financial perspective.
* Experience of Patent Box claims would be useful, but not essential.
* A proven track record in building solid relationships with clients, colleagues and stakeholders.
* An analytical outlook with a process mindset is also key.
