Transfer Pricing Director (In-House)

Our client, an instantly recognisable technology business are looking to hire a TP Director as the business continue to expand internationally. Growth by M&A shows no sign of slowing, and the Group Tax function is evolving as they look to hire a TP director, built to give the business a single, senior owner of TP strategy as the group continues to integrate acquired entities into its structure.

This is a rare opportunity to build and shape a transfer pricing function from a position of genuine seniority, within a business whose brand needs no introduction.

The Role

Reporting to the Group Head of Tax, you will take full ownership of transfer pricing for the global group - from policy design through to documentation, defence, and integration of newly acquired businesses. You'll be the senior TP voice in the room for M&A due diligence and post-deal integration, working closely with corporate development, treasury, and finance leadership across the countries the group trades in.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the group's global transfer pricing policy, ensuring consistency and defensibility across an expanding and increasingly complex entity structure
• Lead TP due diligence and post-acquisition integration, designing intercompany arrangements for newly acquired businesses and unwinding legacy TP positions where needed
• Oversee master file, local file, and CbCR compliance across all jurisdictions, working with in-country teams and external advisers
• Manage transfer pricing audits and enquiries, acting as the primary point of contact with tax authorities globally
• Draft and maintain intercompany agreements, and ensure operational transfer pricing is reflected accurately in the group's ERP and finance systems
• Partner with treasury on intercompany financing arrangements, including loans, cash pooling, and guarantees
• Monitor the interaction between transfer pricing and Pillar Two, briefing the Head of Tax on exposure as the group's footprint grows
• Build out a small team as the function scales, and act as the go-to TP adviser for the wider business

About You

• ACA/CTA qualified (or equivalent), with deep transfer pricing specialism built either in a Big 4 firm, a large multinational in-house function, or a combination of both
• Track record of advising on TP in an M&A context - due diligence, structuring, and post-deal integration - is highly desirable given the acquisitive nature of this group
• Confident operating at pace across multiple jurisdictions, comfortable with ambiguity, and used to building process rather than simply maintaining it
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with credibility to influence at Head of Tax and CFO level
• Excellent communicator, able to translate technical TP positions into commercial terms for non-tax audiences

Operating with a hybrid working model, 3 days per week in the office in West London.
