Get To Know Our Team
As the Indirect Tax Compliance Senior Specialist or Manager — depending on the level of experience — you will work for Agoda Services Co., Ltd in Bangkok and report directly to the Senior Manager, Head of Indirect Tax Compliance. You will be part of the Finance team (approximately 300 professionals).
The focus of this position is to manage the tax operational matters related to indirect taxes for Agoda.com, including registration and compliance obligations in jurisdictions where Agoda.com is required to register for indirect taxes.
This is a role for someone who thrives in cross-functional environments, brings curiosity about how AI and technology can supercharge tax workflows, and wants to be part of shaping how a leading e-commerce travel platform manages its indirect tax obligations globally. Due to the rapid growth of the organization, the tasks and duties of this role may evolve over time — you will be keen to develop, take on additional challenges, and grow within the role.
In This Role, You'll Get To
Lead compliance-side User Acceptance Testing ("UAT") for new indirect tax registrations — validating that system configurations, data flows, return generation logic, and filing structures correctly reflect the compliance requirements.
Continuously assess and improve compliance workflows — identifying inefficiencies, gaps, or manual steps that create risk or slow down the process and driving solutions in collaboration with Tax Data & Technology.
Act as the compliance execution point of contact for stakeholders — providing clear, timely updates on UAT progress, return readiness, and compliance status across the portfolio.
What You'll Need to Succeed
Qualifications & Technical Knowledge
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Tax, Accounting, Finance, or any business-related field. Chartered Accountant (or equivalent) or a graduate degree in taxation is a definite asset.
Strong technical knowledge of VAT/GST in an international context — both mature and developing jurisdictions — with hands-on experience reviewing returns, managing compliance calendars, and performing reconciliations across multiple jurisdictions.
Industry & Systems Experience
Prior experience in e-commerce, online travel, marketplace, or digital platform businesses is highly valued — familiarity with how these business models create complex, multi-jurisdictional indirect tax obligations simultaneously.
Experience with indirect tax setup in ERP systems and tax engine platforms (e.g., Oracle, Vertex, Avalara), including participation in system configuration and UAT discussions.
Collaboration & Communication
Technology & AI Mindset
Demonstrated experience using AI tools, automation platforms, or data analytics in a tax or finance workflow — comfortable working with large datasets, performing data-driven reconciliations, and using data to identify anomalies and improve return quality.
