The Role

The primary responsibilities of the Senior Manager Indirect Tax will be to provide strategy support and drive compliance with indirect tax laws in the NAM region in alignment with business objectives and the broader Company finance strategy. The Senior Manager Indirect Tax will support the brands by coordinating contributions to relevant US indirect tax policy work, keeping the brands informed of legislative changes, and advising on complex and strategic indirect tax matters including audits. A clear objective is to maintain technical oversight and own research on complex tax matters, ensuring alignment with applicable laws and driving synergies across brands processes where possible.

Key Job Responsibilities and Duties

• Advise on and assure compliance with US indirect tax legislation by the Company. This includes developing an end-to-end sales & use tax process in close collaboration with Procurement and AP to ensure appropriate vendor tax mapping.
• Manage the relationship with external vendor Avalara on automated sales tax calculation, filing and compliance services provided to the brands.
• Anticipate and lead on brand indirect tax challenges in the NAM region by co-developing cross-brand policies and strategy, including coordination of contributions to relevant indirect tax policy work in close collaboration with the Public Affairs team, with a heavy focus on the US.
• Support the indirect tax function of the Company brands on audit inquiries and queries regarding various business and product matters with a view to cross-brand alignment.
• Monitor global indirect tax contingency reserves and tax risk positions of the Company brands in the NAM region, ensuring consistency with the Company’s finance policies.
• Oversee and support the drafting of streamlined and standardized indirect tax compliance processes across Company brands in the NAM region to build business-managed tax control frameworks.
• Drive the professional development of the NAM indirect tax team and contribute to indirect tax awareness within the group, including knowledge sharing between the Company’s brands on indirect tax developments and alignment on implementation of similar initiatives and/or new legislation.

• 10-12 years of US indirect tax experience within a Big 4, legal firm and/or multinational tax environment.
• Excellent knowledge of US state and local indirect tax law with broad expertise across topics and states. US state and local indirect tax audit experience is a must. General knowledge of global (non-US) indirect tax legislation, particularly in the NAM region, is a plus.
• Experience with taxation of digital platforms, especially in the OTA business (in relation to marketplace facilitator bills, Hotel Occupancy Taxes, advertising, SaaS and PaaS) is strongly preferred.
• Self-starter, flexible, energetic, passionate, self-motivated, detail- and results-oriented.
• Ability to think strategically, multi-task, and work effectively with minimal direction.
