You'll own the day-to-day central transfer pricing operations of a global, regulated business and, at the same time, lead its transformation: bringing in modern technology and better data, streamlining how work gets done, and leading a team known for insight rather than manual processing. It's a role for someone energised by change, confident leading people, and looking for genuine influence over the shape of a function — not just its upkeep. We're modernising the way our Tax team works — replacing manual, fragmented processes with simpler, smarter and more connected ones — and we're looking for a leader to drive that change within Transfer Pricing while running a high-performing operational team.
The role reports to the Global Head of Transfer Pricing.
