Key Responsibilities

• Implementation of operating models in new markets - Set up operating models in new markets that work for our business, customers, lenders and vendors. This includes reviewing customer and vendor contracts from a tax perspective, including SST/GST/VAT, withholding tax, tax gross-up, invoicing/e-invoicing, tax exemptions and other relevant tax clauses, and supporting negotiations on these terms. Also includes coordination with the real estate team upon acquisition of land.
