- Act as a bridge between tax and technology — translating regulatory and compliance requirements into actionable system and process specifications.
- Collaborate with local tax teams to ensure regional regulatory nuances are accurately reflected in the design and functionality of tax technology solutions.
- Identify automation and efficiency opportunities across tax processes and drive them from concept through delivery while collaborating with the automation and data ops to teams to develop scalable solutions..
- Promote adoption and consistent use of tax technology solutions across regional and global tax teams.
- Provide training, documentation, and user support for new tools and processes.
- Champion a culture of continuous improvement — gathering feedback, measuring outcomes, and iterating on solutions post-implementation.
- Develop and maintain a joint roadmap with cross-functional teams, balancing strategic priorities and operational capacity.
- Ensure strong governance around tax technology initiatives, including change management, security, and compliance oversight.

- Understanding of commercial tax engines (ie Vertex)
- Proven track record of supporting or optimizing tax technology solutions in a multinational environment.
- Familiarity with data flows and ability to partner effectively with data and automation teams.
