Do you want to help shape the future of tax e-compliance and digitisation at Amazon? We seek a Tax Manager to join the eCompliance Hub within Tax's International Stores organisation. The role is focused on providing primary VAT/Indirect Tax support on Procure-to-Pay (P2P) programs to meet real-time electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) and digital tax reporting requirements. There may be future opportunities to provide VAT/Indirect Tax support on other core business processes and programs.
The Tax Manager will work collaboratively across technology, finance, operations and business teams to develop effective P2P tax processes and controls to ensure it meets the needs of tax digitisation.
You will participate in various cross-functional projects/programs to provide tax considerations and requirements and should be able to communicate complex tax concepts in ways that are meaningful and useful to non-tax professionals.
Key job responsibilities
- Collaborate cross-functionally with stakeholders (including technology teams) to develop robust tax P2P processes;
- Analyse application of VAT/GST legislation on P2P technologies and business operations, providing pragmatic guidance for implementation;
- Partner closely with Tax Planning and Tax Compliance Leads, responsible for countries/regions, to ensure ongoing P2P compliance;
- Responsibility for the design, execution and sign-off on tax test cases during both UAT (User Acceptance Testing) and production verification;
- Responsibility for the design, implementation and maintenance of tax controls and processes to ensure ongoing management of P2P tax risks.
A day in the life
You will provide VAT/GST guidance on P2P processes to technology teams, finance stakeholders, and business operations. Your day might include analyzing how new e-invoicing requirements apply to our systems, designing tax test cases for upcoming releases, or partnering with country tax leads to solve complex compliance challenges. You'll work on undefined problems where you'll need to research tax legislation, propose pragmatic solutions, and communicate tax concepts clearly to non-tax professionals. While your primary focus is VAT/GST impacts on P2P, you'll collaborate closely with colleagues in Compliance, Direct Tax, and Withholding Tax to ensure comprehensive solutions

Amazon runs the largest online store in the United States and rents cloud computing to businesses and governments through Amazon Web Services. AWS pioneered renting computing power over the internet, and Amazon built its own delivery network to get orders to customers quickly. Shoppers buy from Amazon and from independent sellers on its store, and Prime members pay a subscription for fast free shipping, streaming video and music, and other perks. AWS rents out computing power, storage, databases, and AI tools so companies can run software without owning servers, and Amazon also makes Kindle e-readers and Echo speakers with the Alexa assistant. Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994, and it is based in Seattle, Washington.
