• Get To Know Our Team

• As the Indirect Tax Compliance Senior Specialist or Manager — depending on the
• level of experience — you will work for Agoda Services Co., Ltd in Bangkok and
• report directly to the Senior Manager, Head of Indirect Tax Compliance. You will
• be part of the Finance team (approximately 300 professionals).

• The focus of this position is to manage the tax operational matters related to
• indirect taxes for Agoda.com, including registration and compliance obligations
• in jurisdictions where Agoda.com is required to register for indirect taxes.

• This is a role for someone who thrives in cross-functional environments, brings
• curiosity about how AI and technology can supercharge tax workflows, and wants
• to be part of shaping how a leading e-commerce travel platform manages its
• indirect tax obligations globally. Due to the rapid growth of the organization,
• the tasks and duties of this role may evolve over time — you will be keen to
• develop, take on additional challenges, and grow within the role.

• In This Role, You'll Get To

• Own the indirect tax compliance process — overseeing preparation, review, and

quality assurance of returns across registered jurisdictions.

• Lead compliance-side User Acceptance Testing (“UAT”) for new indirect tax

registrations — validating that system configurations, data flows, return

generation logic, and filing structures correctly reflect the compliance

requirements.

• Maintain a clear view of the registration pipeline from the Advisory team and

ensure compliance readiness tracks alongside each registration milestone.

• Continuously assess and improve compliance workflows

— identifying inefficiencies, gaps, or manual steps that create risk or slow

down the process and driving solutions in collaboration with Tax Data &

Technology.

• Support Tax Authority queries and audit responses related to filed returns,

working with the Advisory team and external advisors on positions where

technical judgement is required.

• Build and maintain clear process documentation for each

registered jurisdiction

• Leverage AI tools and automation to reduce manual effort in compliance

workflows, from return preparation and reconciliation to deadline tracking

and correspondence management.

• Act as the compliance execution point of contact for stakeholders — providing

clear, timely updates on UAT progress, return readiness, and compliance

status across the portfolio.

• Contribute to indirect tax awareness across the organization, helping non-tax

stakeholders understand what compliance obligations follow a registration and

what they need to provide.

What You'll Need to Succeed

Qualifications & Technical Knowledge

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Tax, Accounting, Finance, or any

business-related field. Chartered Accountant (or equivalent) or a graduate

degree in taxation is a definite asset.

• Minimum 6 years of indirect tax experience in a multinational environment;

Big 4, top-tier law firm, or in-house at a major e-commerce or technology

company highly regarded.

• Strong technical knowledge of VAT/GST in an international context — both

mature and developing jurisdictions — with hands-on experience reviewing

returns, managing compliance calendars, and performing reconciliations across

multiple jurisdictions.

• Great to have: Experience managing indirect tax registrations, including

e-invoicing and API connection, across multiple countries

Industry & Systems Experience

• Prior experience in e-commerce, online travel, marketplace, or digital

platform businesses is highly valued — familiarity with how these business

models create complex, multi-jurisdictional indirect tax obligations

simultaneously.

• Experience with indirect tax setup in ERP systems and tax engine platforms

(e.g., Oracle, Vertex, Avalara), including participation in system

configuration and UAT discussions.

Collaboration & Communication

• A natural collaborator who actively seeks out partnership rather

than operating independently — comfortable as the compliance execution

counterpart to advisory and technology teams, and able to manage multiple

stakeholder relationships simultaneously.

• Project management expertise, including strong organizational and change

management skills — detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple

priorities simultaneously.

Technology & AI Mindset

• Demonstrated experience using AI tools, automation platforms, or data

analytics in a tax or finance workflow — comfortable working with large

datasets, performing data-driven reconciliations, and using data

to identify anomalies and improve return quality.

It's Great if You Also Have

• Self-motivated and results-oriented, with a professional 'get it done'

attitude and work ethic.

• Ability to grasp the detail whilst keeping sight of the big picture, and to

work under pressure and meet strict deadlines in a fast-paced, dynamic

environment.

• Adapts well to and is energized by change.
