Amazon is seeking a Senior Tax Analyst to join the EMEA Tax Department based in London or in Luxembourg to support the Amazon Web Services ("AWS") cloud computing business, focusing on corporation tax advisory.
The ideal candidate will be able to work independently whilst liaising with both the tax team and the wider AWS business as it continually expands its offerings and footprint within EMEA. The role will focus on corporate tax matters including withholding, indirect, transfer pricing and other tax areas.
Advising the AWS business will require the candidate to advise on a variety of topics and multiple jurisdictions in EMEA. This is a corporation tax advisory role which may include liaising with other tax and compliance functions as well as other business lines within Amazon. There will also be scope for dealing with ad‑hoc enquiries and during audits.

Preferred Qualifications
