What we look for in you

• Significant experience with preparing and reviewing indirect tax returns, including VAT/GST returns including partial exemption;
• Technical tax experience
• Excellent speaking and communication skills while working with business teams and explaining tax concepts to both tax and non-tax audiences
• Outstanding detail‑orientation and process‑orientation skills
• Collaborative and positive orientation

• Excellent analytical skills, business partnering, problem solving and prioritization skills
• Strong work ethic and team player
