An in-house Transfer Pricing role with real ownership. Run central documentation, set methodologies across goods, licences, services and financing, and support M&A and audits worldwide for a household-name international FMCG group. Ideal for an adviser or in-house specialist with three to five years’ experience ready to shape policy, not just recommend it.
Many transfer pricing advisers reach a point where recommending policy is no longer enough. You want to set it, run it and see how it performs across a real business. Moving in-house to a group whose products sit on supermarket shelves nationwide is one of the most rewarding ways to do that.
We are partnering with a household-name international FMCG group to appoint a Transfer Pricing Specialist/Manager. The difference here is breadth, with genuine ownership across goods, licences, services and financial transactions.
The Opportunity
The group has been a much-loved UK brand for over three decades and continues to invest in growing its range of products. Its transfer pricing function now offers real scope to shape how tax works across an international footprint, from harmonising structures to accelerating digitalisation. You will sit at the centre of that agenda, working with local tax teams, Treasury and Legal, and representing transfer pricing across the group’s sites.
What You’ll Be Doing
You will prepare the group’s central documentation, including the Master File and Country-by-Country reporting, and support local tax teams on intercompany agreements and benchmarking studies. You will define and implement methodologies across every type of intra-group transaction, from goods and licences to services and financial transactions. Reviewing policy compliance group-wide, you will shape the optimisation and harmonisation of tax structures.
You will support tax audits worldwide with a clear focus on avoiding disputes, and partner with Treasury and Legal on challenging M&A projects. You will drive forward the digitalisation of the function and assess international tax developments for their relevance to the group.
What You’ll Bring
You will hold a degree in law, business administration, economics or a related discipline, ideally with a tax or finance specialisation. You will also bring at least three to five years’ experience in a multinational tax department or tax advisory firm, with sound exposure to international tax and transfer pricing.
Commercial acumen around supply chains and value drivers matters here, as does confidence with SAP and AI tools, or a strong interest in developing both. You will communicate complex ideas clearly across countries and cultures and be willing to travel to the group’s sites. FMCG experience (desirable) and German language skills (desirable) will strengthen your application.
Why This Role
This is a move from advising on transfer pricing to owning it, with exposure to M&A, audits and digital transformation. The package pairs a competitive salary and generous bonus with pension matched up to 8%, life assurance, a health care cash plan, enhanced family leave and 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, rising with service.
