We're looking for an experienced, detail-oriented US Indirect Tax Senior Analyst to own compliance, audit, analytical, and research work across multiple tax types. The ideal candidate has extensive compliance and audit experience and is a self-starter with strong organizational, communication, and process improvement skills.

• Perform Month End accounting reviews, including preparing journal entries for tax reclassification and completing account reconciliations.
• Gather and review information for Unclaimed Property Compliance, including coordinating data deliverables from AP, Payroll, and Production Finance.
• Assist in personal and real property tax compliance, including valuation review and coordination with outside property tax consultants (e.g., appeal filings and support).
• Support personal and real property tax audits, including responding to information requests and evaluating assessment notices.
• Identify and implement process improvements across audit and compliance workflows — including automation opportunities — to reduce manual effort and improve accuracy.
• Research and analyze technical indirect tax issues (e.g., nexus, taxability, sourcing) and summarize conclusions for the team and stakeholders.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Finance, Accounting, Legal, and outside advisors on process improvement projects, audit strategy, business support, and compliance matters.
• Maintain clear, audit-ready documentation and workpapers to support internal review, SOX testing, and external audit requests.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field, is required.
• 5+ years of progressive experience in state and local/indirect tax, including sales/use tax audit and compliance work.
• Strong analytical skills and experience working with large transactional data sets.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to manage competing audit and compliance deadlines and an array of competing priorities.
• A track record of identifying and driving process improvement in indirect tax operations.
• Excellent communication and project management skills, with the ability to collaborate and manage a variety of competing priorities.
