  • Draft tax information reporting and withholding functional requirements to the software development team.
  • Monitor, research and analyze new laws and changes to existing laws that may have an impact from a customer information reporting and withholding tax perspective.
  • Manage US state, federal and non-US penalty waivers and audits related to customer information reporting and withholding tax.
  • Collaborate with other Global Tax colleagues to comply with other customer-related tax requirements, such as financial transaction tax, GST and VAT.
  • Working with the software development team, identify and design system improvements that automate processes that relate to customer tax documentation and information reporting and withholding tax.
  • Work on special projects and administrative matters, including process development, building relationships with business units, and budget development and management.
  • Assist with research, development and integration of new tax technologies, including tax data collection and automation.
  • Develop a solid understanding of IBKR's business and product offerings.
  • Support Internal Audit/Risk Reviews.

To be successful in this position, you will have the following:

  • Strong tax technical background, with a minimum of 15 years experience in the information reporting and withholding tax areas, both in the US and globally; minimum of 5 years experience in the financial services industry
  • Strong knowledge of financial products, including investment funds and various tax-advantaged savings accounts such as IRAs and similar products in other countries

  • Strong analytical skills
  • Advanced MS Office skills, particularly MS Excel
