Tax Analyst - Affirmative Position for Women

About the role

This role is responsible for owning the full technical and business response to Brazilian tax matters, translating legislation into defensible positions that protect and advance the company. You will lead internal tax consultancy, standing behind your opinions with clear reasoning and direct accountability for the outcomes they produce. The position requires you to own the complete tax litigation portfolio, coordinating strategy and execution across external counsel and internal stakeholders without ambiguity. You will run tax audits from initial notice to final outcome, controlling the evidence flow and protecting the company's interests at every stage. Success in this role means building a repeatable capability that turns tax risk into a managed, and even advantageous, part of business decisions. The work directly supports international growth, restructuring, and transfer pricing by establishing a rigorous domestic foundation. This is a hands-on role where your decisions on procedure, timing, and communication will materially shape the company's legal and financial trajectory.
