About the Role
Passport is seeking an Indirect Tax Accountant/Analyst to join a growing global tax function within a fast-paced international business. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys the real substance of tax work: turning complex transaction data into accurate filings, keeping pace with changing rules, and helping build scalable compliance processes across jurisdictions.
You'll report directly to the Director of Indirect Tax and play a meaningful role in how Passport manages indirect tax globally. It's a hands-on role with broad exposure, real ownership, and strong professional development potential for a solid mid-level finance or tax professional who is comfortable with recurring compliance work, large data sets, and multi-jurisdictional deadlines. Because we're a lean team, you'll gain visibility not only into how returns are filed, but also into how tax data, processes, and controls are built, reviewed, and improved across the business.
What You'll Do
- Prepare monthly, quarterly, and ad hoc indirect tax filing data and supporting workpapers across multiple jurisdictions
- Prepare and file indirect tax returns directly in tax authority portals where appropriate, while coordinating with external advisors where needed
- Help bring selected straightforward compliance filings in-house where that makes sense from a quality, efficiency, and cost perspective
- Reconcile tax data to transaction reports, invoices, source systems, and payment records, and investigate discrepancies
- Track filing calendars, payment deadlines, and tax payment statuses to ensure returns and payments are completed on time
- Support tax registrations, tax authority notices, information requests, and audit support matters across relevant jurisdictions
- Monitor indirect tax developments across assigned regions, summarize practical implications, and help maintain internal trackers of tax changes and compliance actions
- Work closely with Finance, Sales, Customer Success, and Engineering to improve the quality, consistency, and usability of tax data
- Support tax-related projects across the business, including process improvements, new market launches, and operational or product changes with tax impact
- Help build and document repeatable processes that make the Indirect Tax function more scalable over time

About You
- You have 3–5 years of experience in tax, accounting, or finance, with hands-on exposure to indirect tax (VAT, GST, or sales tax)
- You hold a Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Tax, Economics, or a related field
- You have strong attention to detail and a disciplined approach to deadline-driven, accuracy-sensitive work
- You have strong Excel or Google Sheets skills and are comfortable working with large and sometimes imperfect data sets
- You're familiar with AI platforms and use them to work more efficiently
- You have a good understanding of accounting fundamentals and how transaction data flows into tax reporting
- You communicate clearly and professionally in written and spoken English
- You can work independently in a fully remote environment, stay organized across multiple priorities, and operate effectively in a fast-moving business
- You have genuine interest in tax and curiosity about how tax rules work in practice
- You're comfortable in an environment where processes are still evolving and not everything is fully structured yet
- You bring structure and clarity to messy data and recurring processes, and stay calm under deadline pressure
- Bonus: experience with international VAT/GST compliance across multiple jurisdictions; eCommerce, logistics, fintech, or other cross-border business environments; familiarity with the indirect tax environment across the Americas (especially Mexico, Canada, and the US); experience working with external tax advisors or responding to tax authorities; experience improving reconciliations, compliance trackers, process documentation, or internal controls

Why join the team?
Right now, the entire global tax function at Passport is one person—the Director of Indirect Tax—and you'll be the second hire. That means real ownership from day one, direct mentorship from a hands-on leader who has built tax teams from scratch before, and the chance to genuinely shape how indirect tax is run across the business. You'll get broad international exposure across multiple jurisdictions, deep technical learning, and the kind of professional development that's hard to find on a larger, more siloed team. If you're someone who wants to build real expertise in indirect tax with a manager who's invested in your growth, this is a strong place to do it.
