Job Description
- Full procurement-to-payment orchestration already live—requisition through reconciliation
- Document intelligence extracting and validating structured data from financial documents
- 400+ internal users on our workflow orchestration platform
- AI-enabled compliance monitoring across legal and regulatory functions
- Run direct and indirect tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Coordinate with internal finance teams and external consultants to ensure filings, payments, and reporting land accurately and on time.
When a new jurisdiction comes online—and they will—you’re the person who figures out what’s required and builds the compliance framework from scratch.
- Own tax accounting processes—current tax, deferred tax, provisions, and disclosures. Work with finance to ensure tax balances are robust, defensible, and audit-ready.
When auditors question a position, your documentation and analysis should answer before you do.
- Research tax implications of business activities, cross-border transactions, and structural changes. Assess risks and develop solutions that are technically defensible and commercially workable.
The business won’t wait for a perfect answer. You’ll make calls with incomplete information and refine as clarity emerges.
Manage transfer pricing documentation, intercompany arrangements, and coordination with external advisors. Balance technical defensibility with practical business needs across borders.
- Track tax law and regulatory developments across key regions. Identify business impact before it becomes a problem.
Improve trackers, workflows, governance, and documentation standards. Use AI tools and automation to reduce manual work and raise the quality of monitoring. If you haven’t built automations before, come ready to learn fast.
- Around 12 to 15 years of relevant tax experience. Strong foundation in corporate income tax, with exposure across multiple jurisdictions. You’ve seen what breaks when tax compliance meets multi-entity complexity.
- Working knowledge across direct tax compliance, indirect tax, tax accounting, transfer pricing, advisory, and tax risk management. You don’t need to be the world’s deepest expert in any one area—you need to understand how they intersect globally so you can perform critical review.
- You know how to brief external tax consultants, challenge their advice when it doesn’t fit the business reality, and extract maximum value from the relationship. You don’t outsource your judgment.
- Strong written and verbal skills. You translate complex tax positions into language that finance, legal, and business stakeholders can act on. Your research is thorough and your analysis is sharp.
- Interest in automation, process improvement, and AI-enabled workflows. You see a manual tracker and think about how to replace it. You don’t need to write code—but you need to think in systems.
- When data bottlenecks threaten a deadline, you don’t wait for permission—you proactively collaborate cross-functionally to unblock the pipeline.
A combination of professional firm training and in-house multinational experience is ideal—but strong candidates from either route are welcome. You’ve worked in fast-paced, high-growth, or regulated environments where tax couldn’t afford to be slow. Fintech exposure is useful, but not required.
