Job description

Amazon's Direct Tax Reporting team is seeking an International Tax Manager to work at the center of U.S. international tax compliance and provision, owning reporting across our multi-jurisdictional global structure. In this role, you’ll manage discrete matters as a single threaded owner of international tax deliverables including calculation workbooks and forms across GILTI/951A, BEAT, Subpart F, foreign tax credits (“FTC”), and/or outside stock basis. You'll also support the review of tax return and workpaper development for Amazon's internal reorganizations and cross-border M&A transactions.

If you're ready to apply your international tax expertise at scale across a broad, technically complex portfolio, this role offers both the depth and the breadth to keep you challenged.

Key job responsibilities

• Own, as single-threaded owner, a defined international tax reporting/compliance areas (e.g., M&A reporting, FTC, Subpart F/GILTI) end-to-end from data sourcing through final filing.
• Serve as the SME for your reporting area, resolving complex, judgment-based compliance questions.
• Build analyses, workpapers, and models that produce data-driven recommendations for tax leadership and business partners.
• Lead cross-functional resolution of reporting matters coordinating with Tax Controversy, Planning, Tax Provision, Transfer Pricing, and external advisors to align on treatment and close data/process gaps.
• Identify and drive process improvements automating, standardizing, or simplifying compliance workflows to scale with entity/transaction growth.
• Develop clear, concise deliverables and narratives that align business partners and senior stakeholders on complex compliance positions.
• Mentor and develop junior team members, and contribute to hiring decisions and team knowledge-building efforts.
• Review international tax compliance deliverables (Forms 5471, 8858, 1118, 8833, 8594, 8883, and various disclosure statements) with a high degree of accuracy.

A day in the life

On any given day, you might be driving resolution on a complex GILTI or FTC compliance question, leading a cross-functional discussion with Tax Controversy or Transfer Pricing, or pushing a process improvement from concept through implementation. You bring deep working knowledge across GILTI/951A, Subpart F, foreign tax credits, and BEAT, and you know how to turn that expertise into clear, well-supported recommendations for senior stakeholders.

You don't just execute. You influence decisions, move quickly on reversible calls, and invest in the growth of the people around you.
