Tax Manager – US Tax Compliance

Amex GBT is a place where colleagues find inspiration in travel as a force for good and – through their work – can make an impact on our industry. We’re here to help our colleagues achieve success and offer an inclusive and collaborative culture where your voice is valued.

A vacancy has arisen for a North American based Tax Manager to join the Amex GBT Tax team to assist with managing the US federal, state income tax and indirect tax compliance.  You would initially form part of a small team focused on US tax matters, although the North American team is expected to increase significantly by the end of the year. The role offers the successful candidate the chance to be an important member of and contributor to an ambitious, dynamic and influential corporate function.

This is a high profile, hands-on role, with a varied US tax focus that will develop and broaden your US and international tax knowledge as well as your tax accounting expertise in some. You will be offered unrivalled exposure to complex issues and experiences to further your career, as well as the opportunity to make your mark as Amex GBT pushes ahead with its strategy for growth.

Amex GBT Tax currently operates a relatively flat reporting structure, thus promoting a strong team ethic. The position will report into the Tax Director – US Tax Compliance and Reporting and work alongside other members of the global tax team, as well as interacting with Amex GBT colleagues at all levels across the organization and external advisers.

This is a remote role, although depending upon the location of the successful candidate, it may be possible to offer a hybrid work arrangement.

What You'll Do:

• Managing co-sourced advisers to ensure that Amex GBT meets its US tax filing obligations and makes tax payments in a timely manner
• Working alongside Amex GBT International Tax and Transfer Pricing colleagues on the consequences on ETR/cash taxes including planning and modelling (e.g. US tax consolidation, NOL utilisation, s382/SRLY limitations, GILTI, BEAT, DCLs, FDII, FTCs) to ensure accurate treatment and disclosure on the US federal and state income tax returns.
• Involvement on SALT planning for both direct and indirect taxes, working alongside Indirect Tax subject matter experts
• Ad hoc projects and involvement on US tax audits as necessary
• Development of junior staff

What We're Looking For:

• have a minimum of 6 years’ relevant US tax experience in the majority of the areas detailed above, gained either in practice and/or in-house
• be a CPA or have a relevant US tax qualification
• be able to demonstrate a strong understanding of US domestic tax law and a reasonable understanding of international tax rules.  As the spectrum of this role is broad, appropriate support will be provided on any developmental areas

You should also be able to demonstrate the following attributes:

• thrive in a dynamic and fast-paced environment
• self-starter and able to work with minimal guidance
• teammate with strong interpersonal skills
• strong analytical skills and challenging mind, prepared to ask and explain “why” rather than “what”
• ambitious to succeed and strong drive to push tasks through to completion,
• good organizational skills and able to work to tight deadlines
• an ability to think outside of the box and beyond tax, with a “can do” attitude,
• strong decision maker but pragmatic
• excellent Excel skills
• experience of using NetSuite/financial reporting software would be an advantage
