Advisory Support and Customer Inquiry Resolution: provide day-to-day indirect tax advice to internal teams (AP, billing, procurement, sales) and resolve customer tax inquiries, including taxability questions, exemption certificates and credits/refunds.
Audit Management and Regulatory Response: manage state and local indirect tax audits end to end; respond to notices and information requests from tax authorities; coordinate with external advisors (for example EY, Ryan) on audits, appeals and voluntary disclosures.
Property Tax Assessment Review and Value Challenge: review assessed property tax valuations for accuracy, identify over-assessments and lead value challenges and appeals where beneficial.
Technology and Systems Enablement for Indirect Tax: operate the tax engine, ERP tax configuration and compliance/reporting tools used for indirect tax; define and test system changes, tax rates and rules updates and data integrations; document processes and capability gaps.

Required skills and experience
