Tax Analyst - Affirmative Position for Women
Wildlife StudiosSão Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil · Posted 21 days agoDescription
Tax sits inside Finance, not in a legal silo. That means our work doesn't stop at the technical opinion: we follow it through to the numbers, the cash, and the business decision it supports. We are a small, collaborative team of five that treats technical disagreement as part of the job, and we work daily with Legal, Accounting, FP&A, and Business Development.
Why this role exists
Our tax consultancy, litigation, and audit-defense work has outgrown the current team. We are hiring someone who already owns Brazilian tax law and controversy end-to-end, so that this scope stops being a bottleneck and starts being a capability. This is a role for someone who wants their domestic expertise to be the foundation, not the ceiling. The growth path here runs through international tax, corporate restructuring, and transfer pricing.
- Lead internal tax consultancy on Brazilian legislation: answer the business's questions on indirect and direct taxes, produce the technical position, and stand behind it.
- Own the tax litigation portfolio, administrative and judicial. Build the technical thesis, draft and coordinate impugnações and recursos with external counsel, and decide where each dispute is best resolved: administratively, in court, or through settlement programs (transação tributária, editais, amnesties).
- Run tax audits (fiscalizações) from the first intimação to the outcome: control what is produced and what is not, manage the relationship with the auditor, and protect the company's position.
- Support perícias judiciais and technical expert examinations, working with our external advisors.
- Classify and defend tax contingencies (remote / possible / probable) with external counsel and auditors, and keep the portfolio view current for leadership.
- Identify and execute recovery and incentive opportunities: credits, refunds, and planning positions with real, quantified impact.
- Translate tax into business language. Write memos and updates a non-specialist can act on, flag emerging legislation and case law early, and make sure the right people hear about it before it becomes a problem.
- Grow into international scope: cross-border restructuring projects, international tax legislation, and transfer pricing, on live transactions rather than in theory.
- Law degree;
- Fluent English;
- Solid command of Brazilian tax legislation. This is non-negotiable;
- Hands-on experience in tax controversy: judicial proceedings, administrative litigation, and audits (fiscalizações). You have personally built arguments that changed an outcome;
- Execution and ownership. You scope your work, deliver on time, raise blockers early, and keep quality high without overcomplicating;
- Structured problem-solving. You break large, ambiguous problems into parts and test solutions step by step;
- Clear, transparent communication. Short written updates, explicit reasoning, no surprises;
- Analytical reasoning. You validate positions with data and can defend a number;
- Time management and prioritization. When a statutory deadline, an audit response, and an internal request collide, you make a call, and you tell the people affected.
Nice to have
- Law firm experience;
- International tax legislation;
- Corporate restructuring and M&A, domestic and cross-border;
- Transfer pricing concepts, rules, and calculations;
- Comfort using AI tools in technical and organizational work. We use them, and we're interested in how you do.
