Your Role and Impact

The Indirect Tax Operations Analyst plays a critical role in managing the operational aspects of indirect tax compliance within the LATAM region. This position focuses on handling the complexities of drop shipments, interstate transactions, and cross-border movements — ensuring proper tax determination, reporting, and compliance across multiple jurisdictions.

The analyst will work within the FSSC to ensure indirect tax processes are executed accurately, efficiently, and in accordance with local tax legislation and global policies.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and submit VAT, GST, and Sales & Use Tax returns for LATAM entities, ensuring compliance with local filing deadlines and accuracy of reporting.
• Handle tax treatment and documentation for drop shipment transactions, ensuring correct identification of the tax nexus, invoicing flows, and exemptions.
• Manage indirect tax reporting for interstate and cross-border transactions, validating that correct tax rates and codes are applied based on origin and destination rules.
• Ensure appropriate tax determination for multi-leg transactions, including third-party logistics and intercompany sales.
• Perform tax reconciliations for VAT, ICMS, IPI, and Sales & Use Tax accounts to ensure accurate reflection in the general ledger.
• Review and validate tax code assignments within ERP systems (e.g., SAP/Oracle) to ensure correct handling of interstate, import/export, and drop shipment transactions.
• Coordinate with IT and Tax Technology teams to maintain and test indirect tax configurations, including tax condition records and jurisdiction mappings.
• Utilize tax automation tools (e.g., Vertex, ONESOURCE, Sovos, or Avalara) to improve accuracy and efficiency in tax calculation and filing processes.
• Support data extraction, validation, and transformation for tax audits, filings, and reconciliations.
• Partner closely with Regional Indirect Tax Teams, Supply Chain, and Logistics teams to ensure accurate tax handling in complex trade flows.
• Work with local finance teams and external tax advisors to address local regulatory nuances related to drop shipments and cross-border activity.
• Support import/export documentation reviews to ensure indirect tax requirements are met (e.g., customs value, invoice flow, and country-of-origin compliance).
• Provide guidance to Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable teams on tax determination for supplier and customer invoices involving interstate and cross-border shipments.
• Maintain strong internal controls and compliance frameworks (e.g., SOX and internal audit standards) for all indirect tax activities.
• Support external and internal audits, providing data, documentation, and explanations as required.
• Identify and implement process improvements and automation opportunities to enhance efficiency and accuracy in indirect tax processes.
• Participate in system upgrades, rollouts, and process standardization projects that impact tax operations.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or related field required.
• 3–5 years of experience in Indirect Tax Operations, Compliance, or Accounting, preferably in a shared services or multinational environment.
• Proven experience with drop shipment tax handling, interstate commerce, and cross-border transaction taxation in LATAM (e.g., Brazil ICMS/IPI, Mexico IVA).
• Familiarity with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle) and tax automation software (Vertex, ONESOURCE, Sovos, or Avalara).
• Understanding of import/export trade flows, customs interface, and tax documentation requirements.
• Excellent communication skills in English.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and reconciliation skills.
• Strong attention to detail, accuracy, and compliance discipline.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic, global environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Professional tax or accounting certification (e.g., CPA, Chartered Accountant, or equivalent) preferred.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel; experience with Power BI, Alteryx, or similar data analytics tools desirable.
• Spanish and/or Portuguese proficiency.
