Senior Associate, International Tax

The Opportunity

Our client is a publicly traded global manufacturer with a multi-billion-dollar revenue base, employs thousands of people worldwide, and sells to customers in more than 100 countries.

This is an opportunity to learn the full US international and global tax cycle inside a corporate tax department: provision, compliance, audit defense, and planning. You'll work across foreign tax provisions, US international and Pillar Two calculations, transfer pricing, foreign audits, and global tax planning. Internal training and support are provided in every area, so it's a good fit for someone with a solid tax foundation who wants to build real depth in international tax.

Responsibilities

• Prepare US international tax calculations, including foreign E&P, Subpart F, GILTI/NCTI, foreign source royalties, Section 986(c) and 987 FX gains and losses, Section 861 expense allocations, and foreign tax credits.
• Prepare Pillar Two / Global Minimum Tax calculations, including Transitional and Permanent Safe Harbors, Simplified and Jurisdictional ETRs, GILTI/NCTI pushdowns, QDMTTs, IIRs, and UTPRs.
• Run US international and Pillar Two models, including internal models, cloud-based provision and compliance tools, and Alteryx-based data workflows.
• Compile information for the outside firm preparing US information returns for foreign entities (Forms 5471, 8858, 1118, 8992, 8993, 5452, 5713, 8975 CbCR, and annual elections/statements), and review the completed forms.
• Support the annual transfer pricing adjustment process: analyze intercompany margins against benchmarks, communicate adjustments, and coordinate journal entries with the consolidations team.
• Compile information for the outside firm preparing the transfer pricing master file and local reports, and review the completed reports.
• Assist with vendor Form W-8 reviews for the procure-to-pay team.
• Support tax planning by running what-if scenarios in the international models and building transaction-specific models as needed.
• Potential to help with distribution and repatriation planning, coordinating with Legal, Treasury, Finance, and outside advisers through execution.
