Responsibilities

Global Deliverables Tracking

Maintain the master global tax deliverables tracker (all filing types, by country)

Build and maintain a Direct Tax Tracker: corporate tax filings, advance tax, WHT compliance, provision-support schedules, TP documentation status — by country/entity, with due dates and status

Build and maintain an Indirect Tax Tracker: GST/VAT/service tax filings by country/entity, filing frequency, input credit reconciliation status

Build and maintain a Tax Notice / Assessment Log: date received, authority, issue summary, response due date, status, owner — for ad-hoc notices and assessments separate from recurring filings

SOP & Process Support

Review existing SOPs for gaps/outdated content; flag for SME input

Draft/update SOPs using a standardized template

Support the preparer-reviewer sign-off mechanism — logging preparer, reviewer, and sign-off dates before filing

AI-Enabled Tracker & Documentation Building

Use Claude to draft first-cut tracker structures (columns, categorization logic, status taxonomies) from source lists like country filing calendars or existing spreadsheets

Use Claude to convert unstructured inputs (emails, notice PDFs, old SOP docs) into structured tracker rows or SOP drafts, which the intern then reviews and validates with the tax team

Use Claude to build lightweight dashboards/summary views (e.g., pivot logic, status roll-ups) on top of the trackers

Qualifications

Pursuing/recently completed a degree in Accounting, Finance, Commerce, or Taxation

Basic understanding of corporate tax and indirect tax compliance concepts

Good written communication for SOP and tracker documentation

Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, basic dashboarding)

Comfort using AI tools (Claude/ChatGPT) for drafting and structuring work — will be trained on internal usage norms

Detail-oriented, organized, comfortable with structured/repetitive work

The expected monthly base salary for this position is $5,500.

The applicable annual base salary paid to a successful applicant will be determined based on multiple factors including without limitation the nature and extent of prior experience and educational background.
