A Senior Manager role with real ownership in a regional transfer pricing team that is being invested in strongly. Run your own client portfolio across the full TP lifecycle, help shape local growth strategy and carve out a sector or technical specialism of your own, with agile working throughout.
Many transfer pricing Senior Managers reach a point where the technical work is no longer the hard part. What you want next is a platform to own client relationships, build a practice locally and see a clear link between the growth you create and the career it earns you.
We are partnering with a leading national accountancy and business advisory firm to appoint a Transfer Pricing Senior Manager in Birmingham. This role offers genuine ownership: your own portfolio, your own growth agenda and real influence over how the local practice develops.
The Opportunity
The firm is investing strongly in its regional transfer pricing team to match ambitious growth plans, under the leadership of an experienced transfer pricing partner. You will work across the full TP lifecycle for a varied client base, from start-ups and scale-ups to private businesses and large listed multinationals. Alongside your local remit, you will learn from and support the national transfer pricing team, contribute to central proposition development and help implement new intelligent technology solutions.
What You’ll Be Doing
You will manage a portfolio of existing clients from scoping through to delivery and ongoing relationship management, while developing targets to grow the business. You will oversee documentation and benchmarking exercises and resolve complex technical issues as they arise. You will present at client events and forums on behalf of the transfer pricing team, collaborate across the firm to identify new opportunities and help shape the growth strategy for your local office. Delegating, coaching and upskilling your team on the job will be central to how you work.
What You’ll Bring
You will have at least five years of full time transfer pricing experience in practice, gained within a top 20 firm, and be CTA and/or ACA qualified or time qualified. You will be confident delivering documentation and benchmarking, able to explain recent UK transfer pricing developments, and understand how other areas of tax interact with TP. Experience of managing staff, running a substantial portfolio profitably and leading business development is essential, as is a track record of trusted relationships with client senior management.
Why This Role
You will be encouraged to identify specific areas to own and run, whether a sector, a technical niche or a specialism that matches your interests, as part of your development within grade. Building the firm’s presence across the wider region forms part of the remit, although regular travel beyond your home office is not expected. Agile working, structured career frameworks and formal mentoring and coaching support your progression throughout.
