multinational experience, and the ability to communicate clearly with both

• Use audit outcomes to identify process improvements and control enhancements

Process transformation and efficiency

• Drive continuous improvement of indirect tax processes with a focus on

efficiency, scalability, and sustainability

• Identify opportunities to reduce manual effort, recurring rework, and

reliance on ad-hoc fixes

• Leverage automation, tax engines, data, and AI-enabled tools to improve

accuracy, consistency, and cycle time across compliance and audit support

activities

• Work with Finance, IT, and transformation teams to embed indirect tax

requirements into upstream systems and processes rather than relying on

manual workarounds

• Support the implementation and ongoing optimization of ERP and tax technology

solutions, including Oracle Cloud and indirect tax engines such as Vertex

• Monitor legislative and regulatory changes and assess whether process or

system updates are required

Stakeholder collaboration and execution model

• Partner closely with Finance (including Controllership), Accounting, Legal,
