Description

SKIMS is a solutions-oriented brand creating the next generation of underwear, loungewear, shapewear, and essentials. We are setting new standards by delivering technically innovative, comfort-driven products with elevated design for everybody.

At the intersection of culture, innovation, and commerce, SKIMS is a global brand redefining modern apparel. Our teams are built on creativity, collaboration, and operational excellence, and we are committed to fostering an inclusive, high-performance environment where ambitious, curious, and values-driven individuals can do the best work of their careers.

As we continue to scale globally, our HQ teams play a critical role in shaping strategy, building world-class infrastructure, and driving sustainable growth across markets.

We're looking for an International Tax and Transfer Pricing Manager to join our growing Finance department. This role owns the end-to-end transfer pricing function and supports local country tax compliance across our international markets. You'll be the internal expert on how SKIMS prices inter-company transactions - from policy design through operational execution and documentation - while also helping to ensure the business meets its global compliance obligations. You'll work cross-functionally with Accounting, FP&A, Planning, Legal, Tech, and external advisors as SKIMS continues to scale internationally.

Key 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
• Draft, maintain, and periodically refresh intercompany agreements to ensure they reflect actual conduct and current arm's length terms
• Support and review benchmarking analyses; manage the functional analysis process across SKIMS entities

Transfer Pricing - Operational Execution

• Run the intercompany billing and settlement process: calculate periodic charges, ensure invoices are issued timely, and confirm settlement aligns with agreed TP policies
• Own the intercompany price-setting calendar - coordinate with FP&A to set or update transfer prices at budget and any mid-year resets
• 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

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• 5-8 years of international tax experience with a significant transfer pricing focus; Big 4 TP practice experience strongly preferred, ideally combined with in-house exposure
• Deep working knowledge of transfer pricing methods, documentation standards, and the OECD BEPS framework (including Pillar Two)
• Hands-on operational TP experience: intercompany billing, price-setting, period-end true-ups, and margin monitoring - not just documentation
• Experience drafting or reviewing intercompany agreements and maintaining a TP policy across multiple entity types (buy-sell, limited risk, cost-plus, IP holding, etc.)
• Hands-on experience managing international tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions
• Solid understanding of US international tax concepts (GILTI, Subpart F, foreign tax credits, CbCR)
• Experience with ASC 740 international tax provision
• Comfortable working with large data sets to calculate intercompany charges and perform margin analyses; proficiency in Excel required, experience with ERP and planning systems (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Planful or similar) a plus
• Ability to manage multiple external advisors and prioritize competing deadlines
• CPA required; MST/MBT or LLM a plus
• Strong communication skills - able to translate complex TP concepts for Finance, Accounting, and Legal stakeholders
• Experience in retail, e-commerce, or consumer goods a plus
