About the Role

As a Senior Tax Product Specialist, you will leverage your tax manager experience and subject matter expertise to shape the future of our tax software. You will translate practitioner expertise into product strategy, workflows, AI-enabled capabilities, and customer solutions. This individual contributor role is central to the ONESOURCE Tax Provision product team, ensuring the software reflects how corporate tax professionals work and their needs. You will collaborate with internal product, engineering, and data science teams, as well as external customers and partners, to develop, test, and validate product content, functionality, and AI capabilities for the tax provision domain. Your accounting and tax background is fundamental to this role, serving as the voice of the tax practitioner within the product organization and applying real-world best practices to features.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and validate segment-specific product content and functionality for ONESOURCE Tax Provision, drawing on firsthand expertise in corporate tax provision processes and best practices.
  • Apply deep knowledge of ASC 740, IFRS, deferred tax computations, rate reconciliation, and financial close workflows to assess product capabilities and identify meaningful improvement opportunities.
  • Develop, test, and validate the application of generative AI and intelligent automation to tax provision workflows, including document understanding, automated reconciliation, anomaly detection, and AI-assisted review.
  • Provide strategic feedback to engineers and data scientists on AI feature performance, accuracy, and real-world applicability, utilizing independent judgment grounded in tax practitioner experience.
  • Lead the development of advanced use cases for tax professionals utilizing ONESOURCE and Thomson Reuters' suite of AI-powered products, demonstrating thought leadership in the application of AI to corporate tax practice.
  • Partner with product managers to contribute domain expertise to roadmap prioritization, requirement definition, and feature validation, ensuring that what gets built reflects how tax provision work is actually done.
  • Draft guidance materials, use case documentation, and adoption resources that help tax professionals understand and effectively use new product capabilities.
  • Engage directly with enterprise customers, including corporate tax directors, controllers, and Big Four advisors, as a credible domain expert who understands their workflows, pressures, and standards.
  • Represent ONESOURCE Tax Provision in customer advisory boards, enterprise client engagements, and industry events, providing expert perspective on product direction and tax provision best practices.
  • Translate practitioner insights from customer interactions into clear, actionable input for the product team, serving as the ongoing bridge between real-world tax practice and product development.
  • Partner with Customer Success, Sales, and Support teams to support product adoption, resolve complex tax-related questions, and contribute to customer satisfaction and retention.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with UX/design, engineering, compliance, and go-to-market teams, acting as the authoritative internal voice of the corporate tax professional throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Coordinate with other Thomson Reuters divisions and teams on select initiatives where tax provision expertise and cross-product alignment are needed.

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Taxation, or a related field is required.
  • CPA or CMA designation is required, or actively in progress.
  • Minimum 5–7 years of professional experience in corporate tax, public accounting, or a tax technology environment — with hands-on responsibility for income tax provision.
  • Deep, working knowledge of ASC 740 / income tax provision processes is required.
  • Experience with deferred tax computations, effective tax rate analysis, rate reconciliation, and uncertain tax positions.
  • Proven experience working with or evaluating generative AI tools in a professional context, with the ability to assess accuracy, reliability, and fitness for use in high-stakes tax workflows.
  • Comfortable collaborating with engineering and data science teams to test AI-powered features and provide practitioner-grounded feedback — no coding required, but technical fluency is expected.
  • Awareness of responsible AI principles, including auditability, explainability, and appropriate use of AI in regulated accounting and tax environments.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and Google Workspace.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex tax concepts into clear product guidance, customer-facing materials, and cross-functional requirements.
  • Experience drafting guidance documents, use case materials, or training content for professional audiences.
  • Proven ability to work effectively across internal teams — product, engineering, sales, and customer success — in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
