• Support development of SOPs, internal controls, and documentation aligned with SOX and audit requirements.
• Collaborate on S/4HANA implementation, tax digitalization, and other cross-functional projects, translating tax requirements into practical process and system solutions.
• Serve as the primary U.S. tax point of contact for Finance Controllers, GBS Krakow operational teams, the indirect tax team in Poland, and external advisors-ensuring clear communication, alignment, and accountability.
