Key job responsibilities

The ideal candidate will focus on indirect tax matters but will also have a base knowledge of direct tax and transfer pricing issues and how these can impact the business solution being articulated. The candidate will also work with other members of the global tax department to formulate and drive wider VAT / indirect tax strategy, communicate current and future business plans, obtain cross-functional tax subject matter input, and ensure coordination of cross-functional tax solutions.

A day in the life

We also support Project Kuiper to launch low-earth satellite broadband to unserved and underserved customers around the world!

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Recognised professional tax qualification, chartered accountant or relevant law degree
  • International VAT experience in both practice and industry (including domestic and cross-border supplies of both B2C and B2B, goods and services)
  • Detail-oriented individual who takes ownership of projects, is organized, possesses excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, and is able to deliver on tight deadlines
  • Highly motivated, hard-working, and able to work in a fast paced, informal, and often ambiguous environment
  • Able to clearly and concisely interface with all levels of management
