Pan-American Life Insurance Group (PALIG) is seeking a Tax Analyst
- International to support the Corporate Tax Department's U.S. international and non-U.S. tax reporting, compliance, planning, and controversy activities. This role works directly with foreign affiliate finance and tax teams to collect, validate, and analyze tax information; prepare and maintain supporting work papers; identify reporting and compliance issues; and assist with resolving those issues in a timely manner. The position is expected to bring a solid foundation in corporate tax and accounting while developing deeper expertise in U.S. international tax, ASC 740 reporting for foreign operations, transfer pricing, and audit support.

While the ideal candidate will be based in one of our office locations—New Orleans, Oak Brook, or Coral Gables—we remain open to remote arrangements for strong candidates whose experience aligns closely with the demands of this role.

Collaborate with foreign affiliate finance and tax teams to prepare, review, and maintain tax provision packages supporting U.S. GAAP financial reporting. Analyze tax accounts, attributes, uncertain tax positions, effective tax rate items, and supporting reconciliations; investigate exceptions and follow issues through resolution. Maintain organized support for foreign current and deferred tax balances and develop a working knowledge of tax laws and reporting positions in relevant jurisdictions.

Prepare foreign tax credit calculations and support U.S. international tax provision calculations, including BEAT and NCTI. Prepare U.S. federal international tax work papers, schedules, and forms, including Forms 5471, 8858, 8991, 8992, and 1118, as applicable. Maintain accurate, complete, and audit-ready records for U.S. international and foreign tax filings. Coordinate deliverables and follow up on missing or inconsistent information.

Research enacted and proposed tax laws, regulations, and rulings and summarize practical implications. Model potential financial statement and cash tax impacts of tax law changes. Draft technical memoranda, issue summaries, and recommendations for review by tax leadership.

Document and improve recurring tax processes, calendars, controls, and workpaper standards. Assist in maintaining and optimizing tax software, financial systems, and data tools to improve reporting accuracy and efficiency.

Coordinate with foreign affiliates and external advisors on local tax matters, information requests, transfer pricing support, and tax authority examinations. Support responses to tax notices and audits by organizing facts, work papers, documentation, and assigned action items.
