About the role:

We are looking for a Senior Associate to join our Operate TP team to meet the continually growing demand for the team's specialist services as a TP delivery hub.

This is an exciting time for the Operate TP team as we are expanding the scale, scope and capabilities of the team.

PwC's UK transfer pricing team specialises in helping multinational organisations understand and price transfers of goods, services, intellectual property and funding between related parties. We learn how our clients operate, why they succeed, where value lies and how to align the pricing of transactions and comply with international tax rules.

This role will involve, but not be limited to:

• Working with the wider Tax practice as a subject matter specialist
• Involvement across analysis and delivery aspects of transfer pricing planning, documentation, defence and implementation engagements

Operate TP is an efficient delivery hub providing delivery resources for process and execution heavy technical analysis and deliverables. This includes Benchmarking, TP Documentation, Financial modelling, Value Chain Analysis, Industry Analysis, wider research and much more. The team is involved in an expanding range of services, increasing levels of client contact and greater ownership of projects.

Alongside proven technical and project delivery skills, the ability to more broadly develop the technical skills and capabilities of more junior staff is key.

• Developed communication skills, including negotiating with and influencing others.
• Must be a Chartered Accountant and possess ACCA, ICAEW, ICAS, CAI, Chartered Tax Advisor (ATT, CTA), Advanced Diploma in International Taxation (ADIT) or an international equivalent
