German term or phrase: eine/n jüngere/n Steuerberater/in
Diplomatiefrage.

Aus einem Stellenangebot:

"Im Rahmen unseres weiteren gezielten Wachstums suchen wir für die Umsatzsteuergruppe unserer Steuerberatung in (city) zum nächstmöglichen Zeitpunkt eine/n jüngere/n Steuerberater/in welche/r sich auf die Beratung im Bereich der Umsatzsteuer im nationalen und internationalen Bereich spezialisieren möchte.
Ihr juristisches oder wirtschaftswissenschaftliches Hochschulstudium haben Sie mit Prädikat abgelegt. Darüber hinaus verfügen Sie über einschlägige Erfahrungen im Umsatzsteuergesetz einschließlich Umsatzsteuer-Binnenmarktgesetz und über sehr gute englische Sprachkenntnisse. Wünschenswert sind Kenntnisse im Zollrecht."

Die Stelle wird in den USA ausgeschrieben. "Jüngere" Bewerber einzuladen ist sicherlich für die Gehaltsgruppe relevant und daher ein Selektionsinstrument, das ich nicht gerne weglassen möchte. Hier in den US gilt das allerdings als age discrimination.

"Entry level" funktioniert hier auch nicht.

Wie kriege ich hier die Kurve?

Ganz herzlichen Dank im Voraus!

at beginning level


Explanation:
I was thinking "recent graduate" and then saw this:

In keeping with this policy the use of "recent Ph.D." in APA advertising is not allowed on the basis that it is potentially age-discriminatory (see U.S. Department of Labor prohibition on use of "recent graduate"). The term "beginning level salary" may be used.
www.apa.org/ads/guide.html

Although I still prefer "recent graduate"...
Someone could be switching careers in their mid-40s and be at a beginning or junior level, but chances are pretty good that a recent graduate would be a younger person.

neutral  Ian M-H: Asker tells us that "entry level" wouldn't work, which makes sense given the post-qualification experience the employer is asking for. Why do you think "beginning level" would be better?

Jr. Tax advisor


Explanation:
Jr. Tax advisor would be the description for the level your are describing

Junior Tax Advisor - Junior Accountant

It appears that the employer is seeking someone that has less experience than a senior. In the US this term Junior or even "Staff" is a common term in the accounting industry. It defines the experience level of the individual and is certainly not in reference to their age - especially since the position is sourced in the US, any corporate body doing business in the US is aware of the discrimination laws. I believe that the "juengere(r)" term was used due to a lack of vocabulary and to give a better understanding of the level of experience that was/is sought.

You may also use the term "entry level" Tax advisor to describe the position. The context you have given however, best describes "juengere(n)" as junior.
