WHAT YOU’LL DO

The Global Tax team at Braze manages direct and indirect tax compliance, provision, and planning across our US and international footprint to support a high-growth, public SaaS company. Based in Bucharest, Romania, this Senior Tax Analyst will be a key contributor to VAT and US sales & use tax compliance, global income tax provision (ASC 740), and direct tax filings. You will partner closely with Accounting, FP&A, Legal, Billing, and Operations to ensure compliant, scalable tax processes that keep pace with our global expansion.

Responsibilities:

• Prepare, review, and file timely and accurate indirect tax returns, including US sales and use tax and VAT, including payments, reconciliations, and maintenance of the compliance calendar.
• Determine taxability for SaaS/software, digital services, and professional services; maintain tax codes and product taxability matrices; support nexus assessments, registrations, and deregistrations in new and existing jurisdictions.
• Reconcile indirect tax and income tax accounts to the general ledger; perform month-end close activities, prepare journal entries, and resolve variances.
• Support audits and inquiries from US state/local and tax authorities (ANAF), including data gathering, analysis, and drafting responses.
• Assist with quarterly and annual global income tax provision under ASC 740, including current and deferred tax calculations, book-to-tax differences, ETR analyses, and financial statement disclosures.
• Support preparation of direct income tax returns and estimated payments for US federal and state and non-US corporate income taxes in collaboration with external advisors.
• Maintain and enhance SOX-compliant tax processes and internal controls; document procedures and drive continuous process improvements and automation across provision and compliance.
• Partner cross-functionally to review contracts, billing flows, and new product/market launches for tax implications; advise on VAT place-of-supply, reverse charge, digital services regimes, and US sales tax exemptions and certificate management.
• Provide data and analytics for tax forecasting, cash tax planning, balance sheet rollforwards, and operational dashboards; ensure data integrity across ERP and billing systems.
• Contribute to ad hoc projects, including tax technology enablement (ERP/tax engine integrations), transfer pricing data support, M&A due diligence and integration, and global tax registrations.
