ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a high-impact, highly visible role at a company that moves fast. You'll own the indirect tax function end-to-end — bringing structure, strategy, and expertise to support a global, AI-powered travel tech company scaling across 200+ partners worldwide.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Design and implement end-to-end indirect tax processes for new business lines and cross-functional growth projects

• Act as the strategic tax partner on commercial contracts — assess implications, influence outcomes, and design the right treatment for complex global transactions

• Own Canadian indirect tax compliance: filings, remittances, reconciliations, and journal entries

• Manage international indirect tax and Federal Excise Tax compliance; challenge external advisors when needed

• Lead tax audits, desk reviews, and authority inquiries from start to finish

• Drive complex multi-jurisdictional research and resolve tax issues before they escalate

• Stay ahead of regulatory and tech changes — translate them into recommendations and implement independently

• Build the global indirect tax policies and internal controls that will scale with the business

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• CPA + 8+ years in a Big 4 or complex global corporate environment

• Deep expertise in Canadian indirect tax; solid knowledge of US and international frameworks

• Proven ability to navigate tax regulations where business models don't fit neatly into the rules

• SaaS, e-commerce, or fast-scaling tech experience strongly preferred

• Expert tax research skills — you turn complex regulation into clear business strategy

• Strong communicator who influences and negotiates at the executive level

• Proficiency in Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs) and advanced tax technology

• French is an asset
