- Mentor and develop a Senior Tax Analyst, providing guidance on both technical work and review approach
- Manage timelines, deliverables, and communication with the Global Tax Accounting team
- Partner with the U.S. Compliance team to provide technical guidance and review on U.S. tax filings and estimated tax payments
- Collaborate with SALT and U.S. International Tax teams, as well as other stakeholders
Process Improvement & Systems -
- Identify opportunities to improve and scale tax processes, with a focus on reducing risk and increasing efficiency
- Contribute to process and technology improvements, including Oracle Tax Reporting Cloud Service (TRCS) and ONESOURCE Tax Provision (OTP)

- Support tax audits and related documentation
- Prepare reconciliations and analyses as needed

- Ability to work with large datasets using Excel or leveraging AI tools
Preferred Qualifications:
