What is The Role

Want to fast-track your indirect tax expertise across EMEA and LATAM jurisdictions at a company that takes compliance seriously? Elastic’s Finance team is growing quickly. We’re looking for an Indirect Taxes Analyst to manage VAT and indirect tax filings. This includes important EMEA countries and Latin American markets like Brazil, Costa Rica, and Mexico. The role involves extracting data, preparing returns, forecasting payments, and defending against audits.

This role offers a great opportunity for career growth due to its variety. You will not work in just one area; you will learn about several tax systems. These systems include EMEA VAT, Brazil withholding taxes, and LATAM indirect taxes. You will also work with our third-party tax vendor, treasury, and AP/AR teams to ensure all filing deadlines are met. A foundation in indirect tax compliance, a sharp eye for data discrepancies, and the ability to operate autonomously in a remote environment will get you delivering results from day one!

What You Will Be Doing

VAT Compliance & Reporting

Extract and prepare transaction data from NetSuite. This data will be used to create periodic VAT returns, EC Sales Listings (ECSL), and indirect tax filings. These filings will include EMEA and LATAM jurisdictions. This includes Brazil, Costa Rica, and Mexico. Validate each dataset against local regulations before submission.
Drive timely, precise return submissions in partnership with our third-party tax vendor, acting as an internal contact for data, queries, and critical issues.
Build submission packages. These packages include supporting schedules. They include reconciliations and sign-off documentation as well. They must meet filing requirements and internal audit standards.
Forecast VAT cash requirements across jurisdictions in partnership with Treasury, so funding is in place well ahead of payment deadlines.

Reconciliations & Journal Entries

Complete monthly and quarterly reconciliations between VAT returns and the general ledger, digging into discrepancies with finance and AP/AR teams until every item is resolved.
Post indirect tax journal entries — accruals, reversals, and adjustments — with complete documentation that holds up under SOX and external audit review.
Maintain organised, audit-ready records across assigned filings, so any examiner can trace every number back to source.
