We push boundaries to offer our clients the best trading platform with the most sophisticated features at the lowest cost. Software development is the lifeblood of our firm, and it shows in our stellar brokerage platform. Interactive Brokers is regularly recognized as a leader in the financial services industry.

About your Team:

We partner with many functions across the company, including Accounting, Treasury, Technology, Client Service and Marketing, to assist our business in achieving our commitment to delivering value through technological innovation and providing our clients with unprecedented access to global markets at the lowest cost.

Draft tax information reporting and withholding functional requirements to the software development team.
Monitor, research and analyze new laws and changes to existing laws that may have an impact from a customer information reporting and withholding tax perspective.
Manage US state, federal and non-US penalty waivers and audits related to customer information reporting and withholding tax.
Collaborate with other Global Tax colleagues to comply with other customer-related tax requirements, such as financial transaction tax, GST and VAT.
Working with the software development team, identify and design system improvements that automate processes that relate to customer tax documentation and information reporting and withholding tax.
Work on special projects and administrative matters, including process development, building relationships with business units, and budget development and management.
Assist with research, development and integration of new tax technologies, including tax data collection and automation.
Develop a solid understanding of IBKR's business and product offerings.
Support Internal Audit/Risk Reviews.

Strong tax technical background, with a minimum of 15 years experience in the information reporting and withholding tax areas, both in the US and globally; minimum of 5 years experience in the financial services industry
