A market-facing Director role leading financing transactions transfer pricing for some of the largest multinational groups. Own the client relationships, shape intra-group funding policy and controversy strategy, and build a high-value portfolio with the backing of a premier global firm and a deep bench of economists and tax specialists.
Financing transactions have moved from a technical niche to one of the most scrutinised areas of transfer pricing. Debt capacity, guarantee fees and intra-group funding now sit squarely on treasurers’ and CFOs’ agendas, and the advisers who can speak their language are in short supply.
We are partnering with a premier global professional services firm in London to appoint a Transfer Pricing Director focused on debt finance. This is a market-facing role with a clear mandate: build and own a large corporate financing transactions portfolio.
The Opportunity
You will join a national transfer pricing practice with real scale and breadth, bringing together tax professionals, accountants and economists drawn from industry, practice and HMRC. The firm’s ambition is to lead the market in transfer pricing and value chain advice, and financing transactions for its largest international clients is central to that plan. The role exists to drive growth: winning new accounts, deepening existing relationships and differentiating the practice through technical insight and delivery excellence.
What You’ll Be Doing
You will advise large multinational groups on financial transfer pricing across the full lifecycle, from policy development and implementation through to controversy. You will be market facing, winning new accounts and expanding existing relationships by identifying and converting opportunities through high-quality advice.
You will build the practice’s external profile through technical and policy thought leadership, and coach and mentor less experienced colleagues. Working across the wider tax and legal business, you will spot client issues that open doors for other teams and lead those introductions.
What You’ll Bring
You will bring technical excellence in financing transactions, with clients already seeking your view on their most complex issues, and a track record of advising large multinational groups on their financing arrangements. Just as important is a proven record of winning, developing and holding long-term client relationships as a trusted adviser, with the commercial instinct to turn them into a successful portfolio.
You will be an inspirational, inclusive leader who communicates with impact and applies genuine insight to real business problems.
Why This Role
This is an active practice-building mandate backed by a global brand and some of the largest international client groups in the market. You will work alongside economists, accountants and former HMRC specialists, giving you exceptional technical depth to draw on.
The role also connects you to the firm’s wider tax and legal capabilities, creating real scope to grow your personal portfolio and market profile. Your coaching and mentoring role will shape the next generation of financing transactions specialists.
