Transfer Pricing Principal

Ready to shape Transfer Pricing strategy for one of the world's largest resources companies?

*This opportunity is only available to professionals with existing rights to work in Australia either via citizenship or permanent residence.

Transfer Pricing in the resources sector doesn't get much more complex, or more consequential. Commodities pricing, intragroup financing, cross-border services, evolving OECD guidance, and tax authorities paying closer attention than ever. The organisations that get this right need people who can operate at the intersection of deep technical expertise and genuine commercial judgement.

We are partnering with a global leader in diversified natural resources to find a Principal, Global Transfer Pricing to join their Group Tax function. This is a business with operations spanning more than 90 locations worldwide, and this role sits right at the centre of how it manages transfer pricing risk and strategy across that footprint. The role can be based in Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide or Melbourne.

Why This Role

You won't be confined to compliance. You'll act as a trusted advisor to tax, finance and commercial stakeholders on the transfer pricing implications of real commercial decisions, reviewing contracts, shaping positions, and providing evidence-based recommendations that carry weight.

Reporting to the Manager, Global Transfer Pricing, you'll co-ordinate and review technically robust TP positions and advice for the Group, respond to regulatory requests, and track TP developments (including at the OECD level) to help shape the organisation's positions. You'll also get to work directly on commodities transactions, Treasury matters and intragroup services, areas where resources-sector experience genuinely sets you apart.

There's also room to make your mark beyond the day-to-day: contributing to a culture of innovation and continuous improvement, including simplifying and automating transfer pricing processes through digital tools.

Who We Are Looking For

You bring significant experience in corporate income tax and/or international tax, spanning compliance, provisioning and advice, alongside deep transfer pricing experience across multiple jurisdictions and a strong grasp of the OECD framework and arm's length principles.

Ideally, you've built some of that experience in the resources or commodities industry, and you're comfortable working with large datasets and financial systems (SAP, Alteryx, Power BI and the like). You hold post-graduate qualifications and/or a CA, CPA or legal practising certificate, and you combine strong stakeholder engagement skills with real commercial acumen, able to translate complex TP matters into clear, practical advice that lands with senior audiences.

What You Get

The scale, stability and global reach to build a career, not just a CV: exposure to complex, high-value transfer pricing matters most practitioners never get near, backed by an attractive salary package with performance-based bonuses and a best-in-class employee share program. Flexible working options, generous parental leave and other benefits are designed so work fits around your life, not the other way around.

If you're ready to bring your Transfer Pricing expertise to one of the most significant TP functions in the resources sector, we'd love to hear from you.
