About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Assess the US indirect tax position of our business models and translate complex, often ambiguous rules into practical, commercially aligned guidance.
- Analyze the US indirect tax implications of existing and new programs, products, and partnerships; proactively identify risks and opportunities, make key decisions, and drive the practical implementation of tax requirements in internal systems.
- Monitor US state and local (SALT) tax developments — and, where relevant, Canadian indirect tax developments — evaluate the business and process changes they require, and develop and execute plans to ensure compliance with new rules and regulations.
- Review and advise on contracts from an indirect tax perspective, including marketplace, digital platform, and travel-specific considerations.
- Lead indirect tax projects and build strategic and operational work plans so that new services, products, and market launches are tax compliant and on time.
- Manage, influence, and constructively challenge cross-functional stakeholders (Commercial, Product, Legal, Finance, IT) to deliver tax-compliant, scalable solutions — representing tax requirements assertively while balancing business objectives.
- Support and review the work of team members reconciling revenue, purchases, and indirect tax balances with the financials, drawing on a solid understanding of how indirect taxes flow through in-house financial applications and systems.
- Coordinate with external advisors on US indirect tax matters, obtain tax advice where needed, and support accurate and timely indirect tax reporting and payments.
- Champion indirect tax awareness across the Agoda group and contribute to the long-term vision of the tax team.
Requirements
What you’ll need- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Tax, Economics, Law, Accounting, Finance, or a related business field; a graduate degree in taxation, CPA, or JD is an additional asset.
- At least 8 years of indirect tax experience gained at a Big 4 firm, a top law firm, or a major in-house tax function.
- Deep technical knowledge of US Sales and Use Tax and state and local taxes is a must; working knowledge of Canadian GST/HST, QST, and PST — or broader VAT/GST experience in a global environment — is a nice-to-have.
- A detail-oriented, independent approach to leading medium- and high-complexity, cross-functional projects — from problem definition and design through execution, analysis, recommendation, and implementation.
- Strong project management and organizational skills.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English, with the ability to explain complicated technical tax issues clearly to senior leadership.
- Experience configuring indirect tax in systems, including ERP platforms (e.g., Oracle) or tax engines, is an asset.
- E-commerce, marketplace, or travel industry experience is a plus.
