DESCRIPTION

Amazon is seeking a Tax Manager to join its Direct Tax Reporting group within the Worldwide Capital Expenditures (CapEx) team. The mission of the Tax CapEx Team is to timely, accurately, and efficiently report the US income tax impact of global CapEx to our internal customers.

This role works closely with finance, accounting, and technology business partners to ensure all asset leasing transactions are properly reported for US income tax purposes, including Amazon acting in a lessee or lessor capacity.

This growing leased asset profile currently totals +$100B of gross book cost, requires +$10B of annual lease payments, and includes many unique lease terms, making this a challenging and impactful role for an ambitious candidate.
