What we’re looking for

• Significant transfer pricing experience; this is essential.
• Fluent German.
• Strong interest in tax and tax accounting, ideally backed by relevant experience.

• A willingness to extend your expertise beyond a narrow transfer pricing remit.
• Experience developing others and an interest in helping build a team.
• A tax accounting qualification or CFA would be a strong advantage.
