• Drive international tax workstreams including transfer pricing documentation, intercompany transactions, cross-border compliance, and tax analysis related to global expansion and new product launches.
• Manage responses to tax authority notices and audits, and research tax incentives, credits, and legislative developments that impact the company.
• Prepare month-end and quarter-end close workpapers, reconciliations, and journal entries, including tax reporting and analysis for equity award programs.
• Serve as the go-to technical resource for the company’s tax technology platforms—administer systems, drive implementation of new tools, and optimize existing compliance software.
• Identify and execute opportunities to improve tax processes, documentation, internal controls, and automation across the function, and assist with ad-hoc and special tax projects as needed.
