GTS team seeks an exceptionally capable and motivated individual to join as an Analyst to help deliver financial system mappings and manage data schemas to support our Indirect Tax function. The Analyst’s key responsibility is to fill a specific area of domain knowledge – to be the Tax department’s domain expert in Amazon financial systems. An Analyst uses this domain expertise to deliver tax solutions within Amazon’s financial systems.
The Analyst leads the end-to-end design and delivery of solutions to address tax booking requirements across geographies and business lines by delivering financial system schemas that are simplified, standardized, and globally scalable.
