  • Research tax issues, review legislative developments, and evaluate impact

Ownership & Judgment -
  • Take end-to-end ownership of assigned areas, understanding both the technical mechanics and underlying drivers
  • Identify and resolve inconsistencies proactively as inputs evolve or results do not align with expectations
  • Validate that models and processes continue to function correctly as the business scales

Team Leadership & Collaboration -
  • Mentor and develop a Senior Tax Analyst, providing guidance on both technical work and review approach
  • Manage timelines, deliverables, and communication with the Global Tax Accounting team
  • Partner with the U.S. Compliance team to provide technical guidance and review on U.S. tax filings and estimated tax payments
  • Collaborate with SALT and U.S. International Tax teams, as well as other stakeholders

Process Improvement & Systems -
  • Identify opportunities to improve and scale tax processes, with a focus on reducing risk and increasing efficiency
  • Contribute to process and technology improvements, including Oracle Tax Reporting Cloud Service (TRCS) and ONESOURCE Tax Provision (OTP)
  • Apply a growth mindset - build practical solutions, iterate, and refine

Additional Responsibilities -
  • Liaise with and manage external advisors to ensure timely and effective tax support
  • Support tax audits and related documentation
  • Prepare reconciliations and analyses as needed


Basic Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of relevant tax and accounting experience in either an in-house or public accounting environment
  • Strong experience in U.S. federal income tax provision (ASC 740)
  • Experience with uncertain tax positions
  • Working knowledge of recent U.S. tax law changes including One Big Beautiful Bill
  • Working knowledge of U.S. international tax concepts (e.g., GILTI, FDII) and SALT
  • Familiarity with tax provision systems, such as TRCS and OTP
  • Ability to work with large datasets using Excel or leveraging AI tools


Preferred Qualifications:
  • CPA / MST preferred
  • Experience with large public U.S. multinationals
  • Experience with ONESOURCE Income Tax and ONESOURCE Uncertain Tax Positions module
  • Experience with Oracle HFM or FCCS
  • Experience leveraging AI tools to improve workflows
