• Contribute to the quarterly and annual income tax provision process (ASC 740) with a focus on foreign entities, including reserves (FIN 48/ASC 450) and coordination with external auditors
• Help monitor changes in international and indirect tax law (e.g., BEPS Pillar Two, EU VAT reforms) and share the potential impact on the organization with leadership
• Work with the team to improve tax technology and automation, including systems such as NetSuite and Avalara, to streamline global compliance and reporting workflows
• Support tax audits and inquiries from foreign and domestic tax authorities
• Support M&A due diligence, cross-border structuring, and post-acquisition integration from a tax perspective as needed
• Mentor and collaborate with tax team members, fostering a culture of accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Accounting, Finance, Legal, and FP&A on international tax and statutory matters affecting financial reporting and business decisions
• Help maintain internal controls related to global tax processes

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required; Master's in Taxation, CPA, JD, or LLM a plus
• 10+ years of progressive tax experience, with substantial depth in international tax and global indirect tax (VAT/GST)
• Hands-on experience managing statutory financial reporting for foreign subsidiaries and coordinating with local-country auditors and advisors
• Strong technical knowledge of cross-border tax structuring, transfer pricing, and VAT/GST compliance across multiple jurisdictions
• Working knowledge of U.S. federal and state income tax concepts sufficient to oversee domestic compliance handled by advisors or team members
• Hands-on experience with NetSuite and Avalara strongly preferred
• Excellent communication and leadership skills, with the ability to explain complex international tax concepts to non-tax stakeholders across regions
• Strong project management skills and comfort operating in a remote, global, fast-paced environment
• Nice to Have Experience with partnership taxation, including allocations, Schedule K-1s, and partnership agreements
