Groupon is a marketplace where customers discover new experiences and services everyday and local businesses thrive. To date we have worked with over a million merchant partners worldwide, connecting over 16 million customers with deals across various categories. In a world often dominated by e-commerce giants, we stand out as one of the few platforms uniquely committed to helping local businesses succeed on a performance basis.
Groupon is on a radical journey to transform our business with relentless pursuit of results. Even with thousands of employees spread across multiple continents, we still maintain a culture that inspires innovation, rewards risk-taking and celebrates success. The impact here can be immediate due to our scale and the speed of our transformation. We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company. We're big enough to have the resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a meaningful impact.
The Director, Indirect Taxes leads Groupon's global indirect tax team of 5-7 tax professionals and is responsible for sales and use tax, VAT, unclaimed property, property taxes, and other non-income tax related filings.

Responsibilities:
- Ensure timely filings of all monthly sales tax, use tax, VAT and other indirect tax filings for numerous tax jurisdictions in multiple countries

- Review contracts for appropriate indirect tax and unclaimed property considerations
- Lead indirect tax audits, appeals, voluntary disclosure agreements, and other indirect tax controversies
- Assess and maintain required indirect tax reserves (ASC 450/FAS 5) for multiple legal entities on a global basis
- Lead implementation and maintenance of indirect tax related tax software and technology tools, including oversight of automation and artificial intelligence tools
- Monitor changes to indirect tax laws and analyze and communicate the impact to Groupon

Beware of Recruitment Fraud: Groupon follows a merit-based recruitment process without charging job seekers any fees. We've noticed an increase in recruitment fraud, including fake job postings and fraudulent interviews and job offers aimed at stealing personal information or money. Be cautious of individuals falsely representing Groupon's Talent Acquisition team with fake job offers. If you encounter any suspicious job offers or interview calls demanding money, recognize these as scams. Groupon is not responsible for losses from such dealings.
