Description
Why Direct Tax Technology? Amazon has it all: large volumes of data; complex businesses and transactions; and a massive geographic footprint. Tax must deal with these challenges and the complexity of ever-changing rules across thousands of jurisdictions. Direct Tax Technology provides an opportunity to innovate, design and build new platforms and services on AWS.Amazon’s tax team seeks a capable and motivated individual to be a Tax Automation Specialist in the Direct Tax Technology team. The Tax Automation Specialist role is responsible for ensuring the tax professionals of Amazon’s Direct Tax Reporting and Compliance organization (R&C) are supported in their mission by world-class technology and processes. The impact of their work is evidenced in improved efficiency in processing, empowered customers and a Tax department that continues to meet the unique challenges of Amazon.
You bring a set of skills that allow you to execute across various components of the "automation" lifecycle: data (e.g., requirements gathering, validation, enrichment, storage, access, sharing, publishing, management, analysis, use, protection, privacy, and archive); solutioning (e.g., requirements gathering, design, build, test, deploy, document and support); and process (e.g., simplification/optimization, process mapping/documentation, business cycle support). You utilize various tools and technology to accelerate and simplify tax processes and data. Your efforts result in increased scalability, enhanced controllership and a reduction in manual efforts.

* Mentor and support R&C customers on modeling and technology best practices through reporting and compliance cycles, supporting a culture of self-service where applicable, and troubleshooting and running processes as needed
* Understand the solutions we have today, applying them where appropriate (including reviewing others’ work to ensure it fits into the bigger picture and is well designed, extensible, performant, and secure) and identifying when new capabilities are needed
* Listen to customers across the organization and drive expansion of our toolset to the benefit of all, avoiding point solutions
