Job description

Tax Automation Specialist, Direct Tax Technology

Why Direct Tax Technology? Amazon has it all: large volumes of data; complex businesses and transactions; and a massive geographic footprint. Tax must deal with these challenges and the complexity of ever-changing rules across thousands of jurisdictions. Direct Tax Technology provides an opportunity to innovate, design and build new platforms and services on AWS.

Amazon’s tax team seeks a capable and motivated individual to be a Tax Automation Specialist in the Direct Tax Technology team. The Tax Automation Specialist role is responsible for ensuring the tax professionals of Amazon’s Direct Tax Reporting and Compliance organization (R&C) are supported in their mission by world-class technology and processes. The impact of their work is evidenced in improved efficiency in processing, empowered customers and a Tax department that continues to meet the unique challenges of Amazon.

You bring a set of skills that allow you to execute across various components of the "automation" lifecycle: data (e.g., requirements gathering, validation, enrichment, storage, access, sharing, publishing, management, analysis, use, protection, privacy, and archive); solutioning (e.g., requirements gathering, design, build, test, deploy, document and support); and process (e.g., simplification/optimization, process mapping/documentation, business cycle support). You utilize various tools and technology to accelerate and simplify tax processes and data. Your efforts result in increased scalability, enhanced controllership and a reduction in manual efforts.


Key job responsibilities
* Be a trusted advisor to R&C customers and understand their models, processes, and data, allowing you to engage and evolve projects

* Communicate with teams/stakeholders and deliver solutions with impact across the R&C organization in a quick-and-nimble fashion; manage competing needs and timelines, often with conflicting constraints

* Support R&C customers on modeling and technology best practices through reporting and compliance cycles, supporting a culture of self-service where applicable, and troubleshooting and running processes as needed

* Understand the solutions we have today and applying them where appropriate

* Listen to customers across the organization and drive expansion of our toolset to the benefit of all, avoiding point solutions

- Bachelor's degree
- 1+ years of tax, finance or a related analytical field experience

- Knowledge of at least one data-focused technology tool, such as Python, SQL, Alteryx, Amazon QuickSight, or similar
