About The Role:

At Notion, we believe the best systems are the ones you build yourself — composable, intuitive, and built to scale.

As our global footprint expands, we’re looking for a Income Tax Reporting & Compliance professional to lead and mature our tax reporting and compliance engine so it remains as structured and dependable as our product.

You’ll be the architect of how Notion approaches tax — ensuring accuracy, transparency, and strong governance across reporting, compliance, and transfer pricing.

This role blends technical depth in ASC 740 with process ownership, cross-functional collaboration, and a hands-on approach to systems and controls.

If you love turning complexity into clarity and creating processes that stand the test of growth, you’ll fit right in.

Lead Global Tax Provision (ASC 740)

• Own quarterly and annual global income tax provisions under ASC 740 / FIN 48, including deferred taxes, valuation allowances, and uncertain tax positions.

• Prepare and review effective tax rate (ETR) analysis, provision-to-return true-ups, and related financial statement disclosures.

• Review and guide junior staff on ASC 740 workpapers, difference rollforwards, RTP workbook preparation, and disclosure drafts.

• Ensure accurate classification of variances and manage the full provision ↔ compliance interface, including true-up journal entries and coordination with return preparers for federal, state, and foreign filings.

• Maintain and refine best-practice documentation standards and scalable provision processes.

Oversee US & International Tax Compliance

• Manage end-to-end US federal and state income tax compliance, coordinating closely with external preparers.

• Oversee international compliance — set calendars, align data inputs, and coordinate with external preparers so foreign provisions and returns are timely and accurate.

• Ensure consistent integration of foreign results with US GILTI, FDII, FTC, and APB 23 analyses.

• Develop a global compliance calendar that syncs reporting and filing milestones across jurisdictions.

• Review local tax packages and reconciliations with a focus on accuracy, documentation, and control readiness.

Strengthen Controls, Processes, and Documentation

• Assist with the design, documentation, and execution of SOX and internal controls over tax reporting and compliance.

• Manage and maintain the quarterly tax binder, reviewer checklists, and control evidence for audits and internal testing.

• Oversee JE posting evidence, access reviews, and sign-off documentation to ensure completeness and auditability.

• Assist with monitoring control performance and remediate issues.

• Identify and lead automation opportunities within tax processes, leveraging software and data tools to reduce manual touchpoints.

Partner Across Functions

• Partner with Accounting & FP&A teams on tax payments and balance-sheet accuracy.

• Liaise with Finance Systems and Engineering to streamline data flows between ERP and provision /compliance tools.

• Mentor and coach junior team members, fostering growth and technical development within the team.

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

• Deep technical expertise in ASC 740, FIN 48, and public-company-level tax disclosures.

• Strong familiarity with SOX controls and control evidence documentation.

• Experience managing international tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions, including coordinating return preparation with various external providers in different countries, identifying and addressing pain points in the process, and implementing improvements to optimize timing, data quality, and communication flows.
