• In partnership with the businesses, and in response to their initiatives, develop, help implement, and drive transfer-pricing planning and optimization strategies for cross-border transactions in compliance with the laws of the jurisdictions in which we do business, including strategies driven by transfer pricing, supply chain, IP ownership, centralized functions, and business model optimization.
• Coordinate with international or state tax planning stakeholders to align transfer pricing planning strategies with broader tax planning considerations and implementation steps.
• Provide support on U.S. and non-U.S. tax audits, including responding to IDRs, to the extent the queries relate to transfer pricing planning positions/optimization strategies.
• Research and prepare transfer-pricing and financial analyses, together with supporting documentation, to defend the company’s position on audit.
• Assist with the modeling of intercompany transactions to incorporate appropriate benchmarks and provide substantiation for related charges to group companies.

• In conjunction with the TP Operations team, undertake effective analysis and manage a process related to forecasting intercompany transactions/legal entity profitability to support the income tax provision process/effective tax rates computation.
• Liaise with colleagues both within and outside Global Tax to collect relevant information and data necessary to support various transfer-pricing planning initiatives.
• Analyze emerging legislation and develop strategies to mitigate risks as they relate to transfer pricing planning, including:
• U.S. tax legislation and relevant judicial and regulatory developments impacting transfer pricing.

• Strong public speaking / storytelling skills, and concomitant writing skills, with experience presenting detailed technical material to both experts and general business personnel.
• Sound project management skills.
• Computer proficiency in Oracle Financials and SharePoint tools a plus.
