About the Role & Team
Be you, be here, be part of the story!

At The Walt Disney Company, magic is more than just a word; it's a way of life. For a century, we've been inspiring imaginations, celebrating diversity, and bringing families together through our beloved stories, characters, and experiences. From our iconic theme parks and resorts to our groundbreaking films, television shows, interactive media and products, we're dedicated to creating magic that knows no bounds.

We are looking for an enthusiastic International Indirect Tax Manager to make a meaningful impact and be part of a dynamic team. Join us in shaping the magic behind the scenes!

The Indirect Tax Manager will support the Principal International Indirect Tax on compliance, advisory and legislative matters for supporting all of Disney line of businesses. The role will encompass indirect tax advisory, VAT audit support, tax legislation updates and The Walt Disney Company’s (“TWDC”) technology and tax digitalization strategy.

The successful candidate will act as an Indirect Tax liaison with a number of our business and finance partners to ensure that ongoing and new business requirements are appropriately supported from both an advisory and VAT reporting perspective. Disney’s International footprint encompasses a number of diverse businesses which include but are not limited to TV and film production, licensing, broadcasting, Disney+ D2C streaming, retail, travel, cruise lines and theme parks. The successful candidate should have industry experience in several of these sectors in order to act as the VAT subject matter expert supporting the relevant businesses.

Disney has operations or makes direct to consumer sales into multiple countries worldwide and so hands-on experience of working in a Big 4 or Multinational tax team advising on cross border supplies of goods and services is critical. Disney is also enhancing its relationship with external managed services providers (MSP) and so experience of partnering with an MSP either from within a Big 4 environment or from a recipient of MSP services would be extremely advantageous.

The Indirect tax team are also responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance with global Digital Service Taxes and so experience of DST’s is helpful but not essential. Similarly, as the global requirement for digitised invoicing and e-reporting rapidly increases, experience of implementations with third-party e-invoice/ reporting would be favourable.
