Assistant Manager, Strategic Programme Manager, Global Investment and

Your opportunity

The Gi3 Strategic Programme Manager will play a key role in supporting the Gi3 group to build out a GBP25m business over the next 3–4 years, working with leadership in Gi3 to drive the development of the team and its propositions across the firm.

In most countries and industry sectors an elaborate system of financial incentives is available to fuel R&D, innovation, and other business investments. These incentives are available for both domestic investments and growth opportunities abroad. This multitude of opportunities becomes more complex as each country, local and regional governments have the authority to design and fund incentives of their own. Gi3 helps businesses identify, understand, and prioritise the right incentives for their organisation. The Deloitte Global Investment and Innovation Incentives (Gi3) practitioners work with clients to pursue and execute the right incentives strategy.

Gi3 is part of the larger Tax and Legal practice, which has a highly ambitious growth and transformation agenda, underpinned by a number of priority strategic projects and initiatives.
