You possess direct and indirect tax technical and analytical skills, navigate competing deadlines easily, and are laser-focused on detail. You have a hands-on mentality, are eager to make an immediate impact on the team, and are constantly looking for ways to improve routines. You are also unusually responsible and are thrilled by the chance to join a high-performance Dream Team! Responsibilities

• Preparing and filing recurring VAT refund requests in countries across the region.
• Assisting with automation projects to improve processes and achieve efficiencies.
• Providing support during tax audits.

Requirements
