• Maintain, monitor, and document the North American indirect tax function's internal controls, including Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) key controls.
• Support state, local, and Canadian revenue agency (CRA) indirect tax audits by gathering documentation, performing data analysis, and coordinating directly with auditors.
• Partner with cross-functional data and technology teams to maintain, enhance, and implement indirect tax calculation engines and automated ERP workflows.
• Conduct complex tax research on multi-state and Canadian product taxability and cross-border import/export rules to advise billing, operations, and supply chain teams.
• Identify process gaps, structural efficiencies, and opportunities to eliminate manual overhead in data collection and compliance work papers.

Minimum Qualifications:

Preferred Qualifications:

• Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, Certified Market Institution (CMI) designation, or equivalent Canadian accounting credential.
