What You’ll Do

This is an exciting time to join Primark. As we prepare to become a standalone listed company and continue our ambitious international expansion, the Transfer Pricing Senior Manager will play a key role in shaping and leading the Group's transfer pricing strategy, governance and compliance agenda.

We are a team that thrives on challenge with no two days being the same. With an ambitious business expansion planned throughout Europe, the Middle East and the US, there is plenty to keep us busy and we enjoy this variety of work.

We expect you to be driven and ambitious and be able to shift from strategy to detail within the blink of an eye. We want you to be a good communicator and be able to negotiate with authorities as required.

We want you to feel challenged and inspired. Here, you’ll develop your skills across a range of responsibilities:

• Lead the development and execution of Primark's transfer pricing strategy, ensuring alignment with policy, commercial objectives and global best practice methodologies.

• Maintain robust transfer pricing policies, intercompany agreements, documentation and governance frameworks that support business and regulatory requirements.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across Finance, Commercial and Legal teams to embed transfer pricing considerations into material transactions, contracts and strategic initiatives.

What You’ll Bring

We want every person in our organisation to feel like they’re making a key contribution. Here are some of the experiences and skills you’ll need for the role:

• Qualified tax professional with 8-10+ years' post-qualified experience and significant transfer pricing expertise gained within practice, industry, or a combination of both; multinational experience is advantageous.
• Strong organisational and project management skills, with the ability to prioritise competing demands, manage multiple stakeholders and consistently deliver high-quality outputs to agreed deadlines.
• Commercially minded with excellent analytical capabilities, including the ability to interpret complex data, identify key risks and opportunities, and translate insights into practical business solutions.
• Strong communication, influencing and relationship-building skills, with a proven ability to engage senior stakeholders, present complex concepts clearly and build trusted partnerships across all levels of the organisation.

What You’ll Get
