Responsibilities

Transfer Pricing — Policy & Documentation: Design and maintain SKIMS’ global transfer pricing policy, including the selection and defense of appropriate methods for each intercompany flow.
Own the annual TP documentation cycle: prepare and review master file, local files, and country-by-country reporting (CbCR) in coordination with external advisors.

Perform true-up calculations at period-end to bring actual results in line with target margins; work with Accounting to book adjustments accurately.
Monitor actual vs. target margins throughout the year and flag deviations early so corrections can be made proactively.
Maintain the intercompany transaction inventory: track all cross-border flows (product, services, royalties, financing) and ensure each is covered by a policy, agreement, and documentation.
Partner with Accounting to ensure intercompany eliminations and TP adjustments are properly reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
Support customs and indirect tax teams where transfer prices affect import values or indirect tax positions.
Transfer Pricing — Planning & Risk: Identify and assess TP risk as SKIMS enters new markets, launches new products, or restructures operations; recommend policy changes proactively.
Support any transfer pricing audits, inquiries, or advance pricing agreement (APA) processes alongside external advisors.
Monitor OECD BEPS developments and Pillar Two rules; assess impact on SKIMS’ TP positions and effective tax rate.
International Tax Compliance: Manage local country direct and indirect tax compliance obligations across all international entities, working with in-country advisors and internal teams.
Coordinate with external advisors on corporate income tax return preparation and review for international subsidiaries.
Maintain a compliance calendar and ensure all international tax deadlines are met.
Reporting & Provision: Assist with ASC 740 international tax provision, including current and deferred tax calculations for non-US entities.
Prepare info requests and review international sections of the consolidated tax provision.
Support GILTI, FDII, BEAT, and Subpart F calculations as relevant.
Planning & Projects: Support international tax planning initiatives, including entity rationalization, IP structuring, and expansion into new markets.
Research and document tax positions on cross-border transactions.
Monitor legislative and regulatory developments across key jurisdictions and assess impact on SKIMS.
