Senior VAT Manager EMEA, AWS

Company: Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Location: London

Posted: April 29th, 2026

Description


Amazon is seeking a Indirect Tax Senior Manager to join the EMEA Tax Department based in London or in Luxembourg to support the Amazon Web Services(“AWS”) cloud computing business, focusing on VAT advisory.


The ideal candidate will be able to work with a high level of collegiality and independence, supporting AWS as it expands in EMEA and an increasing number of countries introduce legislation to bring within the scope of VAT supplies of “Electronically Supplied Services” or “Digital Services” rendered by non-residents.


Advising the AWS business will allow the candidate to be exposed to many jurisdictions in EMEA, as well as a variety of topics, including ESS, telecommunications, training, movements of goods, due diligence relating to acquisitions, launch of new products, etc. There will also be scope for dealing with local tax authorities through “horizontal monitoring” relationships, ad-hoc enquiries and during audits. The AWS Tax Team also works closely with tax authorities by participating to public consultations and workshops about new laws.


This role can be filled in London or Luxembourg.


Key job responsibilities


The role is to provide Indirect Tax support to the AWS Business Unit in EMEA. This includes primarily the AWS branded services (Cloud + Marketplace – www.aws.amazon.com). It also covers other entities within the “AWS Group”, such as Annapurna Labs, the AI chips designer.


The role will not focus solely on products / services sold by AWS and associated entities. We also advise on billing systems and supply chains, especially in relation to the AWS infrastructure (https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/), which forms the back-bone of the business – this includes the Data Centers and Points of Presence (known as “PoP”) Sites in EMEA (https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regions_az/?p=ngi&loc=2), as well as the sustainability effort (https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/sustainability/).


The Role Involves



The work by the team is very broad and allocation of projects is fluid: there are owners, but the team works together, to ensure good balance of workload and that all team members can see all areas of the business (instead of just “specializing” in one). The owner will not be required to “know it all”, but to drive the project and seek help/support from the team and other stakeholders (including outside advisers). The role will involve a wide geography exposure and broad range of offering:



The role is 100% advisory: there is no compliance. However, we work closely with our compliance colleagues to support tax registrations, high-level review of tax returns, relationship with Tax Authorities, Management of Audits, internal reviews, process improvements, and training.
