• Coordinate with finance teams worldwide to obtain, validate, and reconcile trial balances, tax packages, legal-entity data, foreign tax returns, transfer-pricing information, and transaction details; resolve data gaps and document judgments
• Manage external service providers, including setting scope and timelines, monitoring deliverables and budgets, reviewing work product, resolving technical and data issues, and maintaining clear accountability for final filings
• Maintain robust compliance controls, standardized workpapers, review checklists, reconciliations, documentation, and retention procedures to support return positions and readiness for examination
• Research and document complex U.S. international tax compliance issues, monitor legislative, regulatory, and form changes, and translate developments into practical filing requirements, process changes, and stakeholder communications
• Partner with the tax accounting team to reconcile return computations to quarterly and year-end provision amounts and explain return-to-provision adjustments and other book-to-tax differences
• Assess the U.S. international tax reporting consequences of acquisitions, dispositions, restructurings, legal-entity changes, financing transactions, dividends, and other intercompany transactions, and ensure required elections, statements, and forms are timely prepared
• Support U.S. federal tax examinations by preparing responses to information document requests, compiling supporting documentation, and explaining international return positions and underlying calculations
• Drive continuous improvement through standardization, automation, tax technology, data analytics, and stronger integration among source systems, workpapers, provision models, and compliance software

• Demonstrated ability to lead a recurring compliance process involving numerous legal entities, jurisdictions, data owners, reviewers, deadlines, and external advisors while maintaining accuracy and accountability
• Strong project-management, review, and analytical skills, with exceptional attention to detail and the ability to identify inconsistencies across tax returns, workpapers, provision models, legal-entity records, and source data
• Experience with tax compliance and data-transformation tools, including Corptax and Alteryx, and advanced Microsoft Excel functionality
• The ability to research and interpret complex tax rules, form instructions, and administrative guidance and to document conclusions in clear, audit-ready memoranda and workpapers
• The ability to build strong working relationships with tax, finance, treasury, legal, and business colleagues around the world, as well as executive management and external advisors
