Job Description:

Providing for loved ones, planning rewarding retirements, saving enough for whatever lies ahead – our policyholders count on us to be there when it matters most. It’s a big ask, but it’s one that we have the power to deliver when we work together.

This role involves coordinating non-US tax provision and compliance work and acting as a liaison with different teams from the Reinsurance Division.  The Tax Manager will need to be proficient in ASC 740 and familiar with US corporate international tax law; non-US tax knowledge and experience is a plus.

• Oversee and manage external advisors in preparation of international tax forms within the US consolidated tax return, including coordinating data requests across Reinsurance Division business teams, responding to document requests, review of tax returns, and performing return to provision analysis

• Oversee and manage certain US tax forms related to the division such as FATCA and Country-by-Country reporting and support local tax return filing process

• Provide technical guidance to less experienced team members and divisional colleagues

The experience you bring:

• Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance

• Minimum 6 years of progressive tax experience; combination of Big 4 and multinational corporate experience with concentration in income tax accounting and international taxation

• Life insurance industry experience preferred

What makes you stand out:

• Work independently with strong business acumen and critical thinking skills

• Project management skills and ability to coordinate with teams across different time zones, as well as oversee external advisors

• A detail oriented, hands-on and analytical tax professional with strong communication and excellent writing skills

• Strong work ethic, cross functional knowledge, and general accounting skills.

• Process and documentation-oriented with excellent Excel skills.

• Must be goal-oriented and meet deadlines in a timely manner.

• Experience in developing, presenting and implementing process improvements, new approaches and best practices

• Strong research, analytical, and Microsoft Office skills
