Support transfer pricing audits, tax authority inquiries and manage external advisors on special projects, while proactively communicating tax implications of new products, entities and business model changes to stakeholders.

Requirements

Strong knowledge of Canadian transfer pricing rules and OECD transfer pricing principles, with hands-on experience preparing Canadian transfer pricing documentation, T106 and T1134 reporting.
Demonstrated experience with intercompany transactions and multinational or cross-border operating models.
Thorough understanding of transfer pricing methodologies and economic benchmarking practices.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities, with strong written and verbal communication skills capable of translating complex tax concepts for non-tax audiences.

What makes this role worth considering

This position offers the chance to build rather than maintain a transfer pricing function at a pivotal growth stage for a high-profile Canadian fintech. You will work across Tax, Finance, Treasury and broader business teams on innovative financial products and evolving cross-border transaction structures, with meaningful opportunity to grow alongside the organization as it expands internationally.
