• Experience supporting global accounting operations and collaborating with international stakeholders
• Experience supporting sales tax compliance processes and indirect tax coordination
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookups, reconciliations, and large-volume data handling
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail
• Strong verbal and written English communication skills
• Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and operate in a fast-paced environment
