Monitor changes in U.S. and international tax laws, regulations, and administrative guidance; assess potential impacts and communicate actionable recommendations to relevant stakeholders.
-
Manage priority tax projects while balancing recurring operational responsibilities, deadlines, and evolving business needs.
-
Help design, document, and improve tax processes, controls, data flows, and reporting capabilities as the company scales globally.
-
Serve as a key internal resource for U.S. indirect tax matters, including sales and use tax, property tax, and other state and local indirect-tax obligations, as needed.
-
Oversee or coordinate the preparation, review, and timely filing of applicable U.S. indirect-tax returns, working with internal stakeholders and external service providers.
-
Support indirect-tax registrations, nexus assessments, exemption-certificate processes, taxability analyses, and related compliance requirements.
-
Identify opportunities to improve indirect-tax compliance through automation, process standardization, data quality improvements, and stronger documentation.
-
Assist with responses to state and local tax notices, audits, inquiries, and other tax controversy matters; coordinate with advisors and internal stakeholders to support favorable and timely resolution.
-
Build strong cross-functional relationships and help the Tax team respond quickly, thoughtfully, and accurately to complex and high-priority matters.
