Tax Technologist

More about the role & team

Key Responsibilities

• Own US sales and use tax and Canadian indirect tax compliance, ensuring recurring requirements are controlled and accurate.
• Support tax provision preparation and wider North American tax compliance activities.
• Build and improve automated workflows, reconciliations, reporting and dashboards using Excel, Power Query, Power Pivot, Power BI, Smart View and relevant ERP data.
• Manipulate, analyse and validate large data sets, improving the integrity and visibility of tax data.
• Build tax and cash scenario models that provide timely insight and support decision-making.

• We’re looking for a Tax Technologist to join our global tax team, combining strong tax expertise with technology to make our tax processes more efficient, accurate and scalable.
• This is a tax-first role with a significant technology focus. You’ll take ownership of US sales and use tax and Canadian indirect tax compliance, while supporting tax provisions and wider North American compliance. At the same time, you’ll use tools including Excel, Power Query, Power Pivot and Power BI to automate manual processes, improve data integrity and build better reporting and insight.

• Genuine ownership: join a small in-house tax team supporting a multinational business, with direct responsibility rather than a narrow client assignment.
• A real tax + technology role: approximately 50–60% of the role is expected to focus on technology, automation and process improvement, alongside compliance, provision and project work.
• Visible impact: build dashboards, models and automated reporting that improve decision-making, strengthen controls and reduce manual work and external-adviser costs.
• Broad exposure: combine North American tax ownership with automation, analytics and international exposure in an in-house environment.
