ABOUT CARIBOU

International tax is a rigged system. Tax rules get ever more complicated, compliance gets more expensive, and the Big Four controls the expertise. They charge fees that only giant companies can afford, while smaller businesses are left flying blind.

Caribou is a tax platform designed to make international tax accessible to every global business. We’re fixing Transfer Pricing first, where one million businesses are in need, but only ten thousand experts exist.

Our backers include Y Combinator, Accel, Lakestar and angel investors who were founders or executives of leading companies in London and San Francisco.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Transfer Pricing manager with a passion for strategic TP and solving real-world problems.

You’re a clear communicator who thinks from first principles and enjoys working in new and creative ways. You value speed, accuracy, and meaningful impact, and you’ve made significant contributions in your previous roles. You’re confident working independently but know when to collaborate to keep projects moving.

You’ve worked directly with clients to prepare high-quality documentation and care deeply about delivering a great customer experience. In this role, you’ll help us provide an amazing experience to customers and automate the way you work.

IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL

  • Liaise directly with customers to understand their commercial objectives and their business.
  • Design transfer pricing policies for a wide variety of global businesses and across all regions to satisfy TP rules and meet commercial objectives.
  • Implement transfer pricing policies by creating intragroup agreements, instructing customer finance teams, and reviewing accounts.
  • Explain transfer pricing concepts to non-TP people, ranging from founders to operations leads, to accountants.
  • Provide forward-looking advice on how customers should structure their business to optimise tax, admin and operational efficiency.
  • Coordinate with a customer’s other external advisors, including bookkeepers, lawyers and other tax experts.
  • Use transfer pricing techniques to unlock value in adjacent areas, including sales taxes, R&D claims, withholding tax, banking products, regulatory requirements and others.
  • Determine a customer’s reporting obligations and prepare the necessary documents to meet these (local files, master files, etc.).

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ROLE

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • 7+ years of transfer pricing experience, with strong experience in policy design
  • Deep understanding of transfer pricing principles, their theory, interpretation, and application.
  • Strong accounting knowledge and practical experience in preparing journal entries and implementing transfer pricing policies.
  • You take ownership and enjoy driving multiple projects involving a wider range of stakeholders
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced and dynamic environment with ambiguous and rapidly evolving priorities

BONUS POINTS

  • Startup experience

  • 100% book subsidy

Why work at Caribou

  • Culture: Described as autonomous, with ownership, high bar for quality, close proximity to customers, and a bias for action (“move fast and adapt”). Transparency and surfacing problems early are core values.
  • Remote/Hybrid: Hybrid working model – believes in in‑person meetings but not every day. London office is pet‑friendly.
  • Compensation & Perks: Competitive salary, equity (option grants), unlimited annual leave, Vitality health and dental insurance, custom equipment setup, learning support (tuition assistance, conferences), family benefits (adoption assistance, generous parental leave), performance bonuses, employee discounts, mobile phone discount, free snacks and drinks.
  • Engineering culture: Engineers, tax specialists, and product all engage directly with customer feedback. Problems are seen as opportunities, and autonomy is given from day one.
