Your Role at Baxter
This role offers the opportunity to become the primary income tax lead for Baxter's Latin America region, overseeing tax provision, compliance, audits, and planning across Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and several additional jurisdictions where the company operates. You'll step into meaningful work right away-supporting statutory reporting, managing audits, partnering with controllers, and ensuring the company stays compliant while optimizing tax outcomes. Because this position covers a diverse set of countries and tax regimes, it's well-suited for someone who enjoys variety, independence, and the challenge of navigating complex, fast-changing environments. Spanish fluency is important for working effectively with local teams across the region, and strong English communication skills will help you collaborate smoothly with colleagues in the broader global tax organization.
You'll be joining a tax team led by a hiring manager with nearly two decades of Big Four experience, someone who understands the complexities of international tax and values clear communication, partnership, and practical problem-solving. This role offers meaningful ownership across multiple countries, the chance to work closely with both internal stakeholders and trusted external advisors, and the opportunity to strengthen and modernize tax operations in a region that plays a critical role in the company's footprint. For an experienced LATAM tax professional who wants to apply their expertise in a multinational environment-while improving processes, leveraging technology, and making a tangible impact-this position provides a rewarding and highly visible opportunity.
This position can be based remotely within the United States. Candidates located near Deerfield, IL are preferred, but not required.
What You'll be Doing

• Lead and manage income tax planning and compliance across LATAM, with emphasis on Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia.
• Oversee preparation and review of quarterly and annual tax provisions under local statutory rules and US GAAP.
• Manage tax audits and controversies, ensuring timely, effective resolution.
• Identify tax risks and drive solutions in partnership with Global Tax and regional stakeholders.
• Monitor changes in tax legislation and assess business impacts.
• Support strategic initiatives such as M&A, legal entity structuring, intercompany transactions, and transfer pricing.
• Drive process improvements and automation within LATAM tax operations.
• Coordinate with global and local external tax advisors on planning, compliance, and transfer pricing documentation.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Law, or a related field; advanced degree or tax certification preferred.
• 5+ years of relevant income tax experience, including hands-on LATAM regional exposure preferred.
• Strong understanding of income tax laws in Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia preferred.
• Proven experience with tax provision preparation, planning, compliance, and controversy management.
• Fluency in Spanish and strong English communication skills, with the ability to work across functions and cultures.

• Familiarity with JD Edwards, SAP, and emerging technologies that enhance tax operations.
• Ability to navigate ambiguity, drive process improvements, and operate effectively in dynamic environments.
