    Description

    Amazon"s Direct Tax Reporting team is seeking a Senior International Tax Analyst to work at the center of U.S. international tax compliance and provision, owning reporting across our multi-jurisdictional global structure. In this role, you"ll own end-to-end preparation of high-impact international tax deliverables including calculation workbooks and forms across GILTI/951A, BEAT, Subpart F, foreign tax credits ("FTC"), and/or outside stock basis. You"ll also support tax return preparation and workpaper development for Amazon"s internal reorganizations and cross-border M&A transactions.

    If you"re looking to build deep technical expertise across the full spectrum of U.S. outbound international tax, this role puts you in the middle of it.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Independently work across large, complex data sources, including trial balances, intercompany transaction data, and general ledger detail, to ensure completeness and accuracy in tax calculation workpapers, determine root causes of discrepancies, and execute or coordinate fixes.
    • Perform tax technical research to resolve reporting questions and support well-documented, defensible positions on 951A/GILTI, Subpart F, FTC, and BEAT compliance items.
    • Identify and deliver opportunities to automate, standardize, or simplify recurring tax form reporting and provision calculation processes.
    • Communicate clear, concise summaries of complex compliance issues to tax managers, cross-functional partners, and non-tax stakeholders.
    • Support junior team members; build and maintain team knowledge management tools and documentation.
    • Prepare international tax compliance deliverables (Forms 5471, 8858, 1118, 8833, 8594, 8883, and various disclosure statements) with a high degree of accuracy.

    A day in the life

    On any given day, you might be working through a large intercompany transaction dataset, researching a GILTI or Subpart F position, or finalizing a workpaper for a reporting cycle. You bring working knowledge across U.S. international tax law: GILTI/951A, Subpart F, foreign tax credits, BEAT, outside stock basis, and intercompany transaction reporting, and you know how to apply it to real data problems, not just theory.

    You don"t work in isolation. You partner directly with Federal Tax Reporting, Tax Provision, Transfer Pricing, Tax Planning, and external advisors, communicating clearly across all of them.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
