- Get things done - drive implementation of their ideas!
A day in the life
You start the morning checking in with international operations and technology teams, reviewing data quality issues and data simplification roadmaps. By mid-morning, you're deep in source analysis - tracing a tax-reportable attribute back through multiple systems to identify which service originally produces the data and documenting the field-level mapping for the team that will build the integration.
After lunch, you join a working session with an upstream engineering team to resolve a sourcing ambiguity you flagged last week. You document the outcome and update the controllership tracker.
Later in the day, you're translating your findings into business requirements for the technical team that builds our tax data platform. You're not writing code, but you need to understand the data well enough to define what "correct" looks like for a given field.
Your internal stakeholders span Tax Compliance teams who consume the data for filings, technology teams who build the pipelines, and upstream service owners who produce the source data. Your customers are the Tax and Accounting professionals who need to trust every number in a compliance report.
