  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Order Admin, AR, Billing, Procurement, and Operations to resolve tax-related issues.
  • Respond to notices and inquiries from tax authorities and assist in audit support documentation.
  • Provide research support on indirect tax questions, including taxability determinations for new product offerings.
  • Optional: Assist the Domestic Income Tax team on compliance tasks, such as data gathering and workpaper preparation.

Job Qualifications:
  • A bachelor’s degree in Accounting is required.
  • CPA preferred.
  • 7–10+ years of experience in US indirect tax compliance and reporting (sales/use, property tax).
  • Strong understanding of taxability rules, audit management, and multi-state tax issues.
  • Previous experience in a corporate tax department or public accounting setting.
  • Proficiency with Avalara and NetSuite is strongly preferred.
  • Experience with SAP and/or Vertex is a strong plus.
  • Knowledge of resale certificate management and exposure to related tools.
  • Some exposure to domestic income tax processes is a plus.
  • Strong analytical and organizational skills; ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Job Details:
  • Job Type: Contract
  • Pay Rate: $115 - $126 an hour
  • Location: Santa Clara, CA (100% onsite).
