    Description

    Amazon is seeking a talented Tax Manager to join its Foreign Reporting & Compliance (FRC) Tax Transformation team. The Amazon tax department is a fast-paced, team-focused, dynamic environment. This role sits at the intersection of tax, technology, and process, driving global standardization and automation across Amazon"s foreign tax reporting landscape. You will help design and build Amazon"s foreign tax platform: the tools, data standards, and processes that let foreign tax teams operate faster and at scale. If you are energized by turning fragmented, manual processes into standardized, automated global systems, this is your opportunity to own transformation on a worldwide stage.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Analyze upstream and downstream foreign tax data and processes to identify standardization and automation opportunities, then drive simplification and integration across foreign entities
    • Define and own global data and process standards for foreign tax reporting
    • Own requirements for automated tools and reduce manual touchpoints so foreign owners work faster at scale
    • Design the process framework, controls, and training content that support foreign tax owners
    • Lead change-management communications with foreign teams to drive adoption of new and revised processes
    • Partner closely with Tax Technology and Worldwide Provision to build global integration tools and processes
    • Coordinate joint standardization and automation projects with global accounting teams
    • Communicate status and risks to Tax Leadership, translating complex work plan into clear, actionable decisions

    A day in the life

    As a Tax Manager on FRCTT, you"ll move between deep process analysis and hands-on solution building. Your day might include mapping an upstream data flow to expose standardization gaps, scoping an automated tool with Tax Technology, reviewing and signing off on automated rules, and walking a foreign tax team through a revised process. You"ll translate on-the-ground pain points into global standards, align cross-functional partners in Provision and Technology on integration design, and keep Tax Leadership informed on progress and risks. You"ll own outcomes end-to-end, from identifying the opportunity, to building the solution, to landing adoption with the teams who depend on it.

    About the team

    FRC Tax Transformation (FRCTT) develops, implements, and owns process optimization, controls, and technology automation for the FRC organization. We are a strategic transformation function committed to establishing the operating standards, tools, and data architecture that scale Amazon"s foreign tax reporting. We partner across Tax Technology, Worldwide Provision, and global accounting teams to modernize how foreign tax work gets done. You"ll join colleagues who are passionate about solving complex, cross-border tax challenges and building scalable, automated systems that help accelerate reporting cycles with controllership.

    About Company

So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    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

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. 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.
