Yes, and it is a substantial move. A policy manager already covers 36% of what a tax policy analyst is expected to do: 10 skills carry over, 8 of which the tax policy analyst role treats as required.

9 required skills are missing, plus 18 optional ones. They fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by business, administration and law. The single most important is advise on tax policy.

Its learning distance is 62.1 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
