This is an excellent opportunity for a tax professional who enjoys working at the intersection of technical tax accounting, international coordination, and operational execution, capable of balancing technical depth with execution excellence in a dynamic multinational setting.

• Oversee U.S. federal and state corporate income tax compliance in coordination with external advisors, including review of return packages, extensions, estimated tax payments, and return-to-provision true-ups.
• Support tax accounting for acquisitions, divestitures, and internal restructurings, including purchase accounting / PPA and integration of acquisition-related tax impacts into the provision process.
• Partner with Accounting, Controllership, FP&A, international finance teams, external auditors, and tax advisors to ensure accurate reporting, strong governance, and audit readiness.
• Contribute to the enhancement of SOX/internal controls, tax reporting processes, and documentation standards across the provision and compliance cycle

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Tax, or related field; CPA and/or Master’s in Taxation preferred.

• Experience reviewing foreign tax reporting packages and coordinating effectively with international stakeholders and third-party providers
• Practical experience with U.S. federal and state income tax compliance and managing external tax advisors.
• Experience with purchase accounting / PPA related to business combinations is required.
• Familiarity with OneSource or similar tax reporting technologies preferred.
• A “process improvement” mindset is a plus.
• Open to work travel on a as needed basis.

Work Model

• This role is based in USA and offers a flexible work environment and supports a hybrid working with remote candidates in Canada also considered, depending on experience and fit.
• As a key member of the Global Tax organization, the Global Tax Provision– U.S. Compliance Manager will collaborate regularly with colleagues and business partners across North America, EMEA, APAC and other international locations.
