Director - Transfer Pricing in London

Unity Advisory is a pure-play, experience-led CFO advisory firm providing integrated finance, commercial, tax and deals support. We are free from audit conflicts and AI-enabled by design, combining deep technical expertise with automation, analytics and AI embedded into the delivery of every engagement. We are building an alternative to traditional advisory firms, focused on clarity over complexity, outcomes over hours, and practical advice delivered at pace for CFOs making high-consequence decisions. Our culture is deliberately simple and high-performance: Straightforward, Commercial, Open, Experimental and Team-First.

We are now seeking a Director – Transfer Pricing to join our growing Tax team and help shape the next chapter of our transfer pricing proposition.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced transfer pricing leader to join our fast-growing Tax team, focused on supporting CFOs of high-growth international businesses and private equity-backed companies. This role requires deep expertise in UK and global transfer pricing regulations, particularly in the context of leverage, deductibility, and cross-border structuring, and the commercial judgment to translate complex rules into clear, actionable recommendations. As a Director, you will be accountable for client outcomes, lead senior stakeholder relationships (CFOs, Heads of Tax, deal teams and investors), and play a central role in growing and scaling Unity Advisory’s transfer pricing practice. You will combine hands-on delivery leadership with practice building: developing offerings, leading business development, building a high-performing team, and embedding AI/automation to improve quality, pace and insight. This is a rare opportunity for a dynamic, commercially minded adviser to shape the future of our transfer pricing practice in a lean and agile environment.

What You’ll Do

• 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.

What You’ll Bring

• 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.

What We Offer

• A highly autonomous leadership role within a supportive, collaborative environment.
• The opportunity to shape and grow Unity Advisory’s transfer pricing practice and propositions.
• Exposure to market-leading clients and high-profile transactions, working directly with CFOs and investors.
• A platform to drive thought leadership, innovation and AI-enabled delivery in an evolving tax landscape.
• Competitive remuneration and strong career progression in a fast-growing practice.

Work Environment

A truly hybrid and flexible working environment. We offer the opportunity to be at the forefront of AI-driven advisory services. You’ll work on cutting-edge projects and be encouraged to deploy the latest analytical tools and approaches.
