• Proactive Communication: Respond promptly to the team and customers, even when not readily available, and call-in other leaders to assist when necessary.
• Innovation and Strategy: Drive innovative solutions, align with business strategy, and provide recommendations for continuous improvement, embodying an open-minded approach and avoiding a "that's what we've always done" mentality.
• Knowledge Sharing: Actively share knowledge and expertise with seniors and the team to ensure we scale effectively.
• Customer Assignments: The principal payroll tax analyst may have their own customers and will be responsible for the key responsibilities listed under the payroll tax analyst role.
