Associate Director – Transfer Pricing
Grant Thornton
At Grant Thornton, we do things differently—looking to the future, driving ambitious growth, and pioneering positive change in our industry. Providing audit, tax, and advisory services, we empower clients through strategic insight, curiosity, and genuine partnership. We also empower our people with real opportunity, an inclusive culture, and work-life balance. We’re a true alternative.
With over 5,000 people in the UK, and a presence in 150 global markets, we're on an ambitious journey from great to exceptional, and we need the best people to help us achieve our potential.
About the Role
NEW GROUND WON’T BREAK ITSELF.
Our team focuses on advising multinational businesses, operating across various industry verticals, on all transfer pricing-related matters. We support clients throughout the entire transfer pricing life cycle—design, implementation, compliance & documentation, and audit defence.
Our culture embraces flexibility. We are happy to discuss flexible working arrangements, including reduced hours and job shares, and support you to balance work and life effectively.
Key Responsibilities
As an Associate Director within our Transfer Pricing team, you will:
- Lead team management: Support Partners and Directors in managing and developing a team of high-calibre tax specialists, fostering growth, coaching, and ensuring individual and team objectives are met.
- Drive business development: Contribute to implementing business plans and identify new business opportunities for the firm, with input from higher leadership.
- Network strategically: Help build and manage a focused internal and external network to generate fee-earning opportunities—supporting pitches and collaborations with Directors and Partners where relevant.
- Lead assignments: Serve as the lead (or support the Director/Partner) on engagements, ensuring team alignment, development, and performance.
- Manage client relationships: Deliver high-quality client service autonomously, with minimal supervision from senior levels.
- Prioritise development: Commit to your own professional growth, working towards objectives across your performance scorecard and receiving regular feedback.
- Uphold integrity: Align with firm values, and act with transparency and ethical responsibility.
