Zillow's Tax team is seeking a Senior Indirect Tax professional to lead U.S. indirect tax compliance across sales & use, B&O, excise, gross receipts, personal property, and other transaction-based taxes. This role balances high-volume recurring compliance work with strategic process improvements in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
Key responsibilities include preparing and filing all U.S. indirect tax returns and workpapers; managing exemption certificate preparation and maintenance; tracking filing calendars and registrations across jurisdictions; preparing monthly and quarterly GL account journal entries and reconciliations; maintaining and enhancing indirect tax automation tools (Avalara); calculating and documenting ASC 450 tax contingency positions; supporting tax notice research and responses; and partnering with internal departments to gather and validate compliance data.
You will also drive improvements to processes, controls, and systems that keep the compliance function running efficiently at scale, and maintain internal tax controls and policy documentation.
The ideal candidate has 3–5 years of indirect tax experience in public accounting or corporate in-house roles, with strong understanding of U.S. sales/use tax, B&O, and transaction-based taxes. Advanced Excel proficiency is required. You should be able to research multi-jurisdictional tax issues autonomously, interpret guidance, and translate findings into actionable recommendations. Experience with Avalara, Workday Financial, RIA Checkpoint, and BNA research platforms is valued. CPA or LLM certification is a plus. You'll thrive in ambiguous, high-stakes situations, knowing when to act independently and when to escalate.
