Job Overview

The primary responsibilities of the State and Local Tax (SALT) Manager Indirect Tax will be to assure compliance with US indirect tax laws by the Company and track compliance with such laws by the Company’s brands, always in alignment with their specific business objectives and the wider Company finance strategy. While each brand retains the ultimate responsibility for its own indirect tax function, the Manager Indirect Tax will support the brands by, for example, coordinating the contribution to relevant US indirect tax policy work, keeping the brands informed of legislative changes, and acting as an advisor to the brands on relevant indirect tax matters including audits.
