We are looking for an experienced Senior Tax Consultant specializing in U.S. State & Local Indirect Taxes to support our expanding U.S. tax footprint. This is an important, cross-brand role within the Booking Holdings, Inc. (BHI) organization. You will not be dedicated to a single brand; instead, you will serve as a central technical resource supporting our portfolio of global brands, including , Priceline, Agoda, KAYAK, and Open Table.  

This role requires the ability to navigate diverse business models — from travel marketplaces and digital advertising to restaurant technology — and apply U.S. state and local tax rules in a practical, business-focused manner. You will conduct multi-state research, analyze complex fact patterns across multiple entities, and help ensure that tax positions are defensible and, where appropriate, aligned across the BHI Group.  

The role involves hands-on execution and independent first-level technical analysis and judgment, with appropriate escalation. Responsibilities include interpreting legislation, assessing downstream system implications (including Avalara configurations), and preparing structured technical analyses and documentation for senior review. While the role does not establish final tax policy, it is expected to independently develop well-reasoned, defensible first-level conclusions and identify areas requiring escalation.
** In this role you will get to:
*** Centralized Compliance Support:
Perform hands-on review and resolution of complex U.S. indirect tax issues within Avalara across multiple brand entities, including configuration differences, tax code application, exemption logic, and transaction-level anomalies.
* U.S. SALT Technical Support & Alignment:
Provide technical and interpretive support on U.S. state and local tax matters (sales/use, lodging/occupancy, gross receipts), helping ensure consistent application of tax rules across brand-owned revenue and product models.
* Cross-Brand Indirect Tax Advisory:
Support analysis of indirect tax considerations for new business initiatives, helping align brand-level positions with the Group’s broader tax strategy and risk framework.
* Harmonized

Risk Management:

Collaborate across brands to identify technical inconsistencies and potential risks. Independently perform impact analyses and prepare defensible first-level technical conclusions for leadership review.
* Technical Documentation:
Prepare business-focused tax requirements, memoranda, and guidance materials that help stakeholders across brands and functions (Finance, Legal, Product) understand and consistently apply applicable tax rules.
* Audit Defense & Response:
Support the preparation of technical responses to U.S. state tax inquiries and audits for BHI and, upon request and coordination with brand tax teams, for brand entities. Responsibilities include research, data analysis, and documentation to help ensure responses and positions are technically sound and aligned with BHI Group positions.
** What you have:
*** Experience at a Big 4 or top-tier consulting firm preferred.
* Demonstrated proficiency and hands-on experience in researching U.S. state and local tax laws and interpreting their application across diverse jurisdictions and various product models.
* Hands-on experience analyzing system-driven tax determination tools (e.g., Avalara, Ava Tax, Returns, or similar) and resolving configuration discrepancies, ideally in a multi-entity environment.
* Strong ability to interpret ambiguous state tax guidance,…
