NOTES:
For the Manager Indirect Tax role, please focus on candidates who have the following experience when screening resumes and speaking with candidates:
- Strong Indirect Tax Experience (U.S. & Canada): The candidate must have solid experience with North American transaction taxes, specifically Sales Tax, Use Tax, and Canadian GST. Look for candidates who have handled multi-state U.S. filings and Canadian GST compliance.
- System Implementation / Tax Technology Experience: This role is not just compliance. The person will also help with tax system implementations and testing. Look for experience with UAT (User Acceptance Testing) or working with systems such as Vertex, Oracle, BMC Helix, or other tax technology platforms.
- Experience Managing Third-Party Tax Preparers: The company uses an external firm for filings, so this person will need to review, validate, and approve the data before submission. Candidates should have experience working with or overseeing outside tax consultants or preparers.
- Experience with Corporate Changes or Special Tax Projects: Candidates with experience in M&A activity, Voluntary Disclosure Agreements (VDAs), tax cleanups, or company transitions will be strong fits, as this role will support initiatives like these.
- Strong Data and Reporting Skills: The candidate will be working with large datasets for multi-state and Canadian tax filings, so strong Excel skills are required. Experience with Alteryx, Vertex, or Oracle is a plus.
