Manage the full lifecycle from qualification through documentation and claim filing. • Own the ASC 740 tax provision process, including uncertain tax positions (FIN 48), in coordination with external audit, and partner with FP&A on effective tax rate planning and monitoring. • Lead defense of Atari's positions on digital revenue sourcing, nexus, and transfer pricing during US federal, state, and international audits. • Monitor tax legislative and regulatory developments across all operating jurisdictions, including OECD Pillar Two, and advise leadership proactively on impact and required action. • Advise product, business development, and studio teams on tax implications of digital marketplace structures, platform economics, and new commercial arrangements. • Support M&A diligence and integration from a tax perspective as Atari continues to grow through acquisition. • Own the Luxembourg parent-company tax position, including corporate income tax, net wealth tax, the parent-company reporting cycle, and Euronext-listed disclosure obligations, and manage open items from the redomiciliation, including exit/migration tax exposure, treaty access and substance requirements, and confirmation of the go-forward holding and IP-ownership structure. • Own India-specific obligations given the local footprint, including GST, equalization levy / significant economic presence, India withholding tax, and the practical friction around cash repatriation. • Monitor permanent establishment risk arising from distributed and remote teams and traveling executives, and lead cash repatriation planning, foreign tax credit optimization, and functional-currency and FX considerations across the entity chain. • Establish a group tax governance and risk framework appropriate to a listed company, including board- and audit-committee-level tax risk reporting and management of relationships with national tax authorities and local advisors in each jurisdiction.

  • Hands-on experience with automated tax engines such as Avalara or Vertex, and integration into ERP or billing platforms.
  • Active CPA license required. Master of Taxation (MST) preferred.
  • Big 4 background with in-house transition experience is the ideal profile for this role.

  • Demonstrated experience operating within a group headquartered in a European holding jurisdiction.
  • Practical fluency in cross-border IP and royalty structuring, withholding tax and treaty mechanics, and indirect tax on digital services across multiple jurisdictions.
