Discord is used by over 200 million people every month. We’re looking for a Senior Indirect Tax Analyst to join Discord’s global tax team and play a hands‑on role in shaping our tax function as we scale. This high‑visibility role will partner with Finance, Engineering, Legal, and external advisors, owning corporate income tax, indirect tax, tax provisions, and global operations.

• Manage indirect tax compliance end‑to‑end—prepare, analyze, and monitor Sales and Use tax, VAT/GST, and other obligations across multiple jurisdictions, coordinating with external advisors to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
• Prepare and review U.S. federal, state, and international corporate income tax returns, and own the quarterly and annual ASC 740 income tax provision process, supporting schedules and documentation.
• Drive international tax work streams including transfer pricing documentation, intercompany transactions, cross‑border compliance, and tax analysis related to global expansion and new product launches.
• Respond to tax authority notices and audits, and research tax incentives, credits, and legislative developments that impact the company.
• Prepare month‑end and quarter‑end close work papers, reconciliations, and journal entries, including tax reporting and analysis for equity award programs.
• Serve as the go‑to technical resource for the company’s tax technology platforms—administer systems, drive implementation of new tools, and optimize existing compliance software.
• Identify and execute opportunities to improve tax processes, documentation, internal controls, and automation across the function, and assist with ad‑hoc and special tax projects as needed.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• 3–6 years of corporate tax experience, preferably in a public accounting firm or technology company
• Strong understanding of U.S. Sales and Use Tax, Global VAT/GST, and U.S. federal and state corporate income taxation
• Hands‑on experience with ASC 740 income tax provisions
• Strong analytical skills with a track record of identifying issues, researching tax authority guidance, and driving to resolution
• Effective communicator who can manage competing priorities and collaborate across Finance, Legal, and Engineering teams

• CPA or Master’s in Taxation (MST)
• Experience with technology or high‑growth companies
• Working knowledge of international tax concepts including transfer pricing, Pillar Two/GloBE rules, and cross‑border compliance
• Hands‑on experience with tax technology platforms (e.g., Avalara, Vertex, One Source, Alteryx, or similar)
