Senior US & International Tax Manager, Tax Planning
A tax professional bringing deep US & international expertise to our Amsterdam-based global direct tax & transfer pricing team. Rather than operating in a North American silo, you will act as an integrated global player, contributing US and international input to our overarching strategy while managing the day-to-day North American direct tax position.
Because Adyen operates via a US branch, a core focus of this role involves partnering directly with Head Office to determine Effectively Connected Income (ECI) and apply profit attribution rules for Permanent Establishments of banks, rather than traditional transfer pricing.
You will serve as the strategic bridge between the North American business and HQ, implementing scalable frameworks for continued expansion. You will report to the Global Head of Direct Tax & Transfer Pricing and partner closely with the team.
What you’ll do
- Co-shape our global tax position: Contribute subject matter expertise to the development of global tax and transfer pricing frameworks through cross-regional projects.
- Drive North American Tax Operations: drive the federal corporate income and withholding tax strategy, ensuring full alignment with global policies while acting as the primary regional point of contact for tax authorities.
- Execute Branch Profit Attribution: Partner with global teams to implement and manage US branch PE profit attribution strategies and maintain robust documentation.
- Advise on Product Innovation: Proactively embed tax strategy into the launch of new financial products and payment solutions by assessing local and international tax implications. You will also be driving US R&D credits.
- Monitor Tax Legislation: Track and address changes in US, Canadian, and international tax legislation that impact the business.
- Drive Audit Defense: Manage North American federal tax audits and serve as the primary transfer pricing contact in close coordination with HQ.
- Partner Cross-Functionally: Translate complex tax concepts into actionable business insights for Product, Finance, Legal, and Country Managers.
Who you are
- Global & Local Expertise: 6+ years of proven experience in US corporate tax, international tax and transfer pricing, branch taxation, and PE profit attribution. Preferably you have experience with banking and taxation of banking branches. Knowledge on intersection between State and Local Tax and Federal tax is preferred.
- Strategic Partner: You view tax as a strategic enabler, identifying opportunities to align compliance with fintech innovation.
- Tech Mindset: You thrive in a rapidly changing digital economy; in-house experience at a financial institution or tech platform is a major plus. You love to automate processes.
- Collaborative & Autonomous: You are a go-getter who takes total ownership of your work, but excels at partnering with the team and our SALT Manager.
- Scope Expansion: open to expanding scope over time e.g. to sales tax as well or global corporate tax or transfer pricing projects
