Senior De-risking Manager, Tax Compliance - EU 3P (Seller Services)
DESCRIPTION
In EU, we continue to observe an unprecedented wave of legislation that impacts Selling Partner (SP) experience, constrains selection and jeopardizes growth. This increases the complexity and cost of selling in EU and makes compliance the primary barrier to SP launches in the region.
As a Derisking Manager in EU3P Compliance programs - you will define the strategy and execution plans to programmatically scale a high visibility and complex tax or trade compliance program across EU and UK. You will influence cross VP organizations to (1) define the seller experience and engagement programs to increase compliance, (2) shape the risk appetite for executive leadership, (3) design and implement the seller enforcement and regain strategy for EU and UK marketplaces, (4) design, implement and lead simplification initiatives and (5) support defining auditing strategies so they continuously raise remaining risks and develop mitigations.
The ideal candidate is motivated and agile, with strong project management skills. This opportunity requires excellent troubleshooting, stakeholder management and communication skills.

A day in the life
In the morning you will check in with the horizon scanning team to understand what new legislations are coming up. Afterwards you have a meeting with tax planning and legal colleagues to get their view on requirements for the new legislation.
You spend the rest of the morning drafting the corner stones of the strategy for the legislation and in the afternoon review it with peers and your managers to understand where it can be further improved. In the afternoon you talk to a seller engagement associate to hear what issues they usually have with similar legislations and revise your engagement strategy accordingly including how many people will be needed and what business impact it will have.
Lastly you sync with a colleague on program governance, write down potential risk and plan for an auditing process of the new legislation.
