Tax Manager - AWS EMEA, AWS EMEA Tax

Amazon Web Services is one of the fastest-growing businesses within Amazon, continually expanding its product offerings and geographic footprint across EMEA. We're looking for a Tax Manager to join our EMEA Tax Department in London and provide corporation tax advisory support to the AWS cloud computing business.

This is a broad advisory role with genuine variety — you'll work across multiple jurisdictions, navigate the intersection of corporate tax with withholding, indirect, transfer pricing and other tax disciplines, and partner closely with both the tax team and the wider AWS business. You'll operate with a high degree of autonomy while remaining well-connected to a collaborative, knowledgeable team. There's also scope to get involved in ad-hoc enquiries and support during audits.

At Amazon, we believe that in-person collaboration is essential to our culture and innovation. While we allow flexibility for personal circumstances, we generally expect employees to work from our offices five days a week. This approach has consistently shown that spontaneous interactions, rapid problem-solving, and the energy of in-person teamwork lead to better results for our customers. In particular, our data shows that teams working together in person are more effective at making complex decisions, onboarding new team members, and fostering the kind of creative collaboration that has driven Amazon's success. The serendipitous hallway conversations and impromptu whiteboarding sessions that happen naturally in an office environment have proven invaluable to our invention process and maintaining our high bar for excellence.
