US E - Tax - Manager, Operational Transfer Pricing

Manager, Operational Transfer Pricing 

This role is at the confluence of two competencies – Transfer Pricing and Technology/Process Optimization. 

Transfer pricing (TP) on a global scale – a multidisciplinary field that integrates economics, business, finance, legal, and tax principles in the analysis of global intercompany transactions. Within the broader area of TP, the domain of OTP covers various systems and processes that clients use to implement the transfer pricing policies and accurately calculate figures for financial and tax reporting compliance in various countries. Data analytics and technology play an increasingly important role in how our clients set and monitor intercompany pricing to implement transfer pricing principles. Over 100 countries now require compliance with their transfer pricing regulations and most companies are still playing catch up to upgrade their systems and processes. This is now one of our fastest growing TP areas. 

We are aggressively investing in our OTP practice to appropriately respond to the ever-increasing demand from our clients. If you have experience with transfer pricing processes and a passion for data, technology, and the mindset to conceptualize these complex and evolving needs, Deloitte has the perfect position for you!  

What You'll Do

As an Operational Transfer Pricing Manager/SM you will work with our transfer pricing and technology leaders to understand client concerns, conceptualize solutions, and deliver OTP solutions.

You will get a chance to support our OTP leadership in driving this practice forward and launch a strong career for yourself at Deloitte.
