Director – Transfer Pricing

Role Overview

• Lead and oversee complex UK and international transfer pricing engagements, acting as a trusted adviser to CFOs and senior tax stakeholders on high-stakes decisions (growth, expansion, refinancing, restructurings and deals).
• Advise on private equity-backed transactions, including transfer pricing implications of acquisition financing, leverage, interest deductibility and tax-efficient structuring (UK and cross-border).
• Design and implement pragmatic transfer pricing strategies aligned to OECD guidance, BEPS, local country requirements and evolving compliance expectations.
• Own key client relationships: set the agenda, manage delivery quality, and ensure exceptional client experience from scoping through to sign-off.
• Support pre-sale structuring and IPO readiness, ensuring transfer pricing policies are investor-ready, defendable and value-optimising.
• Drive business development and go-to-market activity: originating opportunities, building referral networks (PE, legal, banks), and collaborating across Unity service lines to grow key accounts.
• Build Unity’s market profile through thought leadership (insights, webinars, CFO/PE content), helping define our point of view in an AI-enabled advisory model.
• Embed AI and automation into TP analysis and documentation, improving efficiency, consistency and insight while maintaining robust technical standards.
• Lead, mentor and develop talent: coaching junior colleagues, building capability, and contributing to succession planning and team growth.
• Stay ahead of HMRC developments, case law and global regulatory trends, translating them into proactive strategies and practical client actions.

Requirements

• Deep expertise in UK and international transfer pricing (policy design, documentation, operating models, controversy/defence and practical implementation).
• Strong experience advising private equity-backed and/or high-growth businesses, including transactions involving leverage, deductibility and cross-border structuring.
• Proven ability to operate at senior levels with CFOs, investors and boards, translating technical complexity into clear commercial decisions.
• Demonstrable track record in business development (originating, converting, and expanding client relationships), ideally with an established network across PE, legal and finance communities.
• Strong leadership capability: experience leading teams, quality assurance, coaching and building high-performing cultures.
• Comfortable working in a lean, fast-paced, ambiguous environment, taking ownership, moving quickly, and collaborating across disciplines to find the best solution.
• A strategic, commercially minded approach, proactively identifying value-enhancing opportunities beyond “TP compliance” and delivering outcomes with pace.
